Has anyone heard anything about what types of resources shipwrights will need to build ships? To be clear, I am NOT asking for any information that would violate the NDA of beta testers. I'm just wondering if some information on this subject has been released somewhere and I've missed it.

I don't think the resources have been firmed up. What's in Beta now is likely to change.

I think there was a post a while back somewhere that said that the resource requirements for a ship would be on the order of that needed for a PA hall.

I do not know what the ships will need as I am not in beta (nor has anyone informed me) but I do know that resource merchants are harvesting and stockpiling ore like it's going out of style.

Not to make anyones plans sound bad but theres really only 3 rescources you can currently stockpile that will be needed for ships.. Copper, and Steel, and Low Grade Ore, and i believe Inert Gas for the reactor (unconfirmed) the rest is going to be all that new ore thats dropped off monsters the deeper you get into dungeons, and when you do corvettes (this is all until the expansion comes out.. then the rescrources will be easier to get from what i understand.)

As far as I know..
The requirements for some ships, are 100-400K of resources.
And they will most likely change (as they have been changing in the past month)

What are you talking about here?
The only "new" resource stuff are the containers dropped by Sith npcs and those are specifically designed and used in the Village FS crafting quests, no where else.
Frankly, you're obviously not in the Beta, and are just spreading rumors. It's pretty funny really.

Use common sense and deductive reasoning...
Minerals are obviously going to be used in construction, as will chemicals. Gases will probably be used. The problem with stockpiling is simply what stats are going to be used in assembly/experimentation. And I wouldn't be at all shocked to see "new" named resources being required, resources that won't spawn until JTL goes live.
Its a safe bet that Dantooine bone will not be a requirement in reactor cores....

i'm in beta so i know the answer, but can't tell...
1st rule of beta is you do not talk about beta.
let me just say, you can't go wrong with collecting the basics. metals, ore, etc...
and anything i might have said, would probably be changed by launch anyway.

Thanks a lot for the smart*ss reply pal! No duh that minerals and chemicals will be needed, I've figured that much out, thanks! Oh, and thanks for clearing up the fact that bone won't be used in reactor cores! I hope you feel smarter now! Sheesh! I was simply wanting to know if anyone had any non NDA breaking information they could provide that was a little more specific. Why do I even try to post simple questions anymore? People can't even keep from flaming a post that would appear to have noinspiration to do so...
It doubt it was a flame, more likely humor. Maybe you should give people the benefit of the doubt before sending "broadside" back at someone who doesnt deserve it.
BTW, how would you expect information such as ship resource requirementsto surface WITHOUT it coming from someone inbeta? If there was an "official" release, it would be stickied at the top of every profession forum with the possible exception of Entertainer and Politician.

A bone ship would be pretty funny. A krayt skull would make a decent cockpit.
