Are we gonna be able to build them?

Doubtful. Architects don't build Vehicles, mechanics/engineers do. If they don't add a seperate profession I would look for them to be sold by NPC's as a money drain.

well think about it this way

we build the living space

weaponsmith builds the weapons

droid engineer builds the computer system and perhaps the skeleton of it/shields

maybe its somthing that one person cant build alone...

That would fall in line with theirlove to create cross-class reliance. I wouldn't be surprised if different classes created different components. That would be smart too, to prevent the rush for XP and therefore low pricing we all have experienced as Architects.

I like that idea of buying from NPCs. The economy already needs a cred drain (which is scary). I also hope because of this a crashed speedermeans time to get a new one.

Ok guys you all need to go back and READ the thing about vehicles in game. (in the "in the works" section).

No where does it say that players will be able to build them. Only that players may purchase them. That little diference in terminology means to me that they will be NPC sold / created. The other thing that leads to this assumption is that the reason they stated they would not release the space / vehicle expansion at the same time as the original release is that they thought no one would have enough credits to purchase them till that time anyway. Ina player run economy, how do they even know what they would sell for if they were player made? Answer: they dont. Cause players will have nothing to do with them. They will be able to drive only. And thats just a shame. As is most of the game at this point, but thats another post entirely.

I hope they are sold by NPC. There needs to be another credit drain for non crafters. Crafters have all the maitnece rates to deal with losing money. Combat characters barely have any. I mean they have their products they by, but so do crafters on top of rates to pay for.

Who does the final combine though??

The only fair thing would be to let any of the component builders be able to do the final combine...but the only way to do that would be to put it in Eng. IV or Master Artisan. It doesn't make sense skill-wise, but it's the most practical place to put it.
