Crew Skills

Crew Skills:

What will you pick?
Just so we have an overview and so that people who aren't really decided or bothered too much about it can, if they prefer, pick skills that we may end up missing.

For my smuggler I want to pick Underworld Trading, Scavenging and Cybertech...
Found this neat little thread on teh main forum:
http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=1570

I'm looking forward to a consular w/diplomacy, archaeology and artifice. Also a smuggler with Underworld, scavenging and armstech. I haven't made my mind up beyond that, but I'm considering making my trooper a straight gathering toon...

I'm thinking of making my Agent (if I go operative) completly missions with Underworld Trading, Investigation and Diplomacy. Though Diplomacy I may change to Slicing for RP reasons.

Unfortunately, I think you have to pick one gathering, one crafting, and one mission skill - you can pick two of one kind or go all into one type. I think. You definitely can't go all in - though I've yet to try different combos and see if I can invest in two of one type (though I know for sure that you can only have one of a specific kind of skill, though I don't remember which one it is).

That being said, if you wanna craft anything, you need to pick related skills - tooltips in-game actually give you advice on which skills go together, so this part is made kinda easy.

Crafting you are limited to just one.
The main site, expressly states that:
"If you like, you can select Gathering skills for all three of the Crew Skill slots available to your team. "
and
"Any number of your Crew Skills can be a Mission skill, so get ready to put your team to work!"

edit:
Oh and Craddock, check the link in my original post, it does actually have good information and advice too

dreams restored!

Haha, glad I was wrong.

I'm rolling my V. Trooper with Armortech, Scavenging and Underworld Trading.

My Sentinel went the Artifice, Arch. and Treasure route.

Which profession makes the off-hand generators/foci? I can't remember off the top of my head and the game/site are down for maintenance currently.

Haha, according to the latest patch notes, slicing rewards have been nerfed so that they now like any other crew skill. Yay!

At least I managed to make some cash out of it
