Do you think you'll pick up the profession?

If so, then will you drop architect to do so?

Just curious. Personally I think I'll probably become an architect / shipbuilder and depending on how many new skill points we get just dropping whatever I don't really need to squeeze in shipbuilder.

I would drop Architect. And let some new architect in the guild to take my seat as main supplier.

I would drop Master Merchant and become a ship builder. Hopefully being a Master Artisan already will be all that I will need to become an Apprentice ship builder.I had better collect some more apprentice points though.

Already planning on dropping Architect and picking up the new crafting line.

We have folks now selling harvestors priced at 2.5 to 3cpu for the resources so I think the architect market on Valcyn is about to start dying in a big way.

It will do the market good to have less of us around. I dont sell to the public, but there are a LOT of Architects in the game. The market is very well saturated. But the funny thing is, so many crafters are excited about something new coming in, that there will be a mad rush of people picking it up. I fully expect a good 85% of ALL crafters to become ship builders. The market will rocket up, then about 48 hours later EVERYONE will have their ships, and we'll all be bored again. That is, unless they make ship building worthy of us and NOT design it for the lowest common denominator in the game (like they did with speeders). 2 lumps of metal for a ship? I really really hope not. Make it take a hundredk resources at LEAST, and use 10 different kinds of components you get from 3 or 4 other profesions (weapons, armor, nav computers, engines), and needs all kinds of factory runs for all phases. And of course do NOT let us factory produce them unless they introduce a Shipyard factory. Since we can customize each ship, every single one shoudl be hand made and easily be the hardest thing in the game to craft. Give us a challenge! Make this the crafting version of the COrvette!

On another thread I questioned how the new profession(s) would work. I would very much like to see SOE put in a top layer of skills and increase the number of skill points we can earn, then we could keep what we have and go UP a level to Shipbuilder. Other classes would be able to do similar, WS, AS and DE to a new level allowing them to make Ship weapons, shields, droids maybe engines etc, which would be needed in order to have a 'fully equippped and battle ready' vessel. Rangers up to Pilots/Navigators for example, fighters up to ship gunners maybe, Ships doctor? must be lots of possibilities. Archs could then take shipbuilding as a level up, but they can only build the hull and it would need components from the other 'higher' crafting classes to complete the build.

The advantage for SOE would be that they could then make all the new stuff, including the extra skill points and professions SE specific, i.e. if you don't buy you don't get. That will ensure that the majority will reach for their wallets.

What? How can you be saying this? Surely SOE will be bribing us with new houses and furniture and all SORTS of nifty things to keep us interested when the ships come out!!!!

Oh yhea. Dropping it like a pile of warm poo-doo.

Im hoping that we won't have to drop anything to become shipbuilders. If need be Im dropping politician.

I have a combat alt, so my primary will be a total wimpy crafter. Im already Master Artisan Master Architect. Want to add Master Starship Engineer, and possibly DE.

I think if they build ship repair droids, we will finally see something useful for DEs.
