I really have no clue, but I'm hoping its the DE's who get the ability. They need something!

While Holo posted that it would go into Engineering if you read the development web page it implies that vehicles will be on NPC vendors

The fact that garrages are included in player town in the future tells me a lot.


I would prefer they have it fall under droid engeneer not architect to be built, but I suspect vheicles will be rented from garrages, no one will one them.

I think it's most likely they will be rented from garages. If there is crafting involved, it should be highly collaborative. With maybe DEs having the schematic and architects provinding the generator turbine/engine. Architects could also craft the interiors - more like furniture than clothing.

The devs have posted that vehicles will NOT be craftable at first. They might make them so later, but nothing has been decided. At this point it looks like vehicles will be purchased from NPC vendors. This will be really interestingsince it will be the only item (besides junk) with a static price on all servers.

I like the idea of a major product like vechiles needing several different professions to craft. This would really crate a market where items were being sold and traded. To me it doesn't seem right that any crafter should be able to build all their items without the help of some other professional. Talors should have been allowed to make sadals for the mounts, that would have been really cool. DE's need some better products as well.

I had thought that vehicles were going to be in Engineering 4 of novice artisan. To me that is a really bad idea. Give it to DEs they need something useful.


I am curious about this new NPC sold thing, doesn't make sense. Unless they are only going to allow 10 vehicles per planet or something and you can't store them. Maybe you have to rent them, and each time you log, are killed you lose it and it goes back to the garage. Can't wait to see the camping at garages to get a vehicle.

DOH! Oh the humanity. Man I was really hoping that I would be able to be a true Mon Calamari and follow my families line of brilliant starship builders.

Well at first we may not be able to build them, but I'm hoping that in time that will be changed and I will be able to follow my true calling. I like the idea of different professions all contributing to one cause. However with the state of the community, it's sometimes hard to find ones to help you in your endeavor's. We'll just have to see what lies ahead for us. But I hope it will someday be a choice profession.

If Droid Engineers DON'T get Vehicles (or a MAJOR part of creating them) then just remove the whole DE profession from the game. All we are is a portable crafting station seller where quality doesn't matter...Architects can make better qualitycrafting stations than us at NOVICE.

Serves me right for reading a thread from the top to bottom (skipping the middle)....so they will be sold from vendors and not craftable? WHY SOE? Why must you screw everyone? Will spaceships be found as loot? "You loot 12 credits, and a spaceship from a Jawa".


Lame. Worst. decision. ever.
