This may be something unheard of but I just started the game in December. I am a novice in every profesion, I have leveled three skills in both artisan, marksman, and medic. I am trying to keep my options open. I know that this is a poor way to expend energy and skill points, but there are two reasons I find myself spreading myself thin. One I really enjoy being able to kill creatures or imp npcs myself, then heal myself while fighting or running away, then resting in a camp of my own making while I make more stim packs and med packs to heal more damage.
The only thing I really need while in the wild is an entertainer to heal my battle faigue. So every now and again I will trudge back into town either to heal my fatigue or find another mission.
I almost never ride my speader anywhere now because I like to gather resources and hunt creatures and construct more items enroute to my next objective. Of course I don't always run, especially if my objective is several towns away. But if it takes less then 10 minutes of constant running to get there, well then I'm hunting, gathering, and crafting along the way.
Here in lies the problem, allthough I am well rounded for solo play, I am not strong enough to gather holo's by myself. I am a covert rebel and had intended on using npc contacts in Corellia to get my own hollos, but the bloody Storm Troopers keep sniping me when I run away and throwing grenades when I take cover and fire back. I haven't tried fighting them hand to hand because there is always more then one trooper, and if one stopped firing to hit me the other would just continue firing.
So am I out of luck, do I need to just bight the bullit and settle on a profession that I might just have to give up as soon as I get my first holo, or is there someone with an answer out there who could help me get my own first holo before spend hours grinding unwanted skills just to get the holo.

P.S. I am a new father of twins, I am a full time employee, and student. I can't allow SW to become more then a free time hobbee, because I don't really have any free time. Right now I play about 5-10 hours a week. I can't play to many more hours before my wife demands me to put the game away and enjoy RL with her. I don't really blame her, real life does have its bennnefits even if you don't get to ever start over.
