OR.NET just published a great crew skills map, taking into consideration force/non-force users. Hope that helps for peeps that are sill trying to dig into crew skills

way to take away exploration and learning new gaming system. Spoon feeding before the game even starts is kind of tacky in my opinion.

The codex basically spells that out for you, not really wrecking anything. One thing I read though is, datacrons are going to be moved periodically, so people can publish them online, but they ll be moving :)

Well, its up to each and everyone if they want to read these kinda guidlines. Some people might find it hard to figure out things and want some help early on to make up their minds, other dont.

All I say is, that people decide for themselves if they want to discover for themselves or not. Besides, these kinda maps would be out within the first weeks after release anyways.

When you talk to any crew skill trainer in game you get an entry in your codex that explains what the skill is used for and what skills complement that one.

Yeah, that picture totally ruined my game by telling me that Scavenging will help out Armortech. I think I'll cancel my preorder now.

This will be fun.  My buddy was telling me he was going to wait till endgame and just get a walkthrough for all the datacrons and grind them out.  Guess not huh lol.

As for the crew skill map, as mentioned up top, the Codex tells you the exact same thing so it is not really ruining anything.

Weren't you the dude squaking about cancelling your pre-order?  Way to contribute to the conversation.  Kind of tacky in my opinion.

To the OP, thanks for the helpful link.

This does not ruin anything, just made things a lot more clearer for someone like me who catches on to visual cues rather than reading the codex.

It's been proven wrong by other posters already, which is actually the way to do it. No need to be snarky at him for being incorrect.

Kind of funny, I was just thinking this morning about writing up a crew skills guide...  the map is pretty good,  but some mission skills can provide materials for multiple crafting professions. 

need....to play....dieing....to play.... *explodes*

Interesting.  I didn't realize Armormech and Synthweaving were divided that way(force-non-force).  I just assumed Synthweave was light-medium, and Armormech was heavy.

Alot more balanced, the way they do it.

Having a good write up would be useful for players that do not have much time to both play as well as research.

They have the information in the game, it's just poorly documented. The exploration factor isn't affected at all by something like this map.

 

Yes, I do know they have information about this in-game, thank you very much.

thank you about the info either way

What did you expect would happen? Don't read it, if it bothers you.

This same information is available to you after level 10 from the fleet crew skills codex entries.

The lore activation in game when you recieve your crafting skills from NPC give lot more information in comparison to this chart.
