Thread: Space Expansion Ship Builder Class?
I was just curious if yall thought we would get a ship building class with the space expansion, and if so, what do you think it will be an elite branchoff of?
I was figuring Master Artisan, Master DE, and Master Architect. With parts needed from Armorsmith and Weaponsmith. But i dunno, just conversational.
Did you see the interview with Raph on the home page? He mentions that he thinks basic vehicles will be part of the basic engineer under artisan, but that he plans on lots of new professions.
I think elite elite is going to be the exception not the rule. I think vehicle engineer will be a new elite profession. Politician may be a new base profession.
In answer to your question it would make sense for ship builder to be an elite that branches off of engineering just like weaponsmith, DE, and arch. Space is such a long ways away who knows. Maybe most ships are going to be faction perks?
I'm hopeful that most classes will have a role to play in ship building.
I would guess armorsmiths and weaponsmiths will be able to construct armor and weapon systems. I would hope that architects at minimum construct the interior furnishings, storage, and energy compartments.
I like the idea of ships being a combined effort by more than one person. Sounds very cool, hope the Devs go with this.
Cheers,
