What makes you think they'll be expensive? The only info I found in the FAQ was that a YTsomething would use about as much material as a PA hall. I guess there will be some price gouging in the first week or so, but otherwise that doesnt seem like a lot.

A pa hall takes 55-63k resources, at 3-5 cpu that is 150k to 300k. 300k is a bit of money to me.
Ships will probably cost from 100k to 1 million credits or more. If you are patient and shop around you will get good deals. If you stand at a starport and buy form some guy saying, get the first xwing here, it is gonna be expensive as heck.

you do get a free beginner ship to start with, so i doubt people will be that desprate to get ships that prices will rise too high. Also people will have to level to master shipwright correct? I'm hopeing there won't be too much price gouging, but i suppose well see, may take up shipwright just for the fun of it

You would be an idiot to waste money on a crafted ship at jump. Think, you are buying one from someone who is low on shipwright boxes.. with all the customization people will whithin a week make something 10 times better than what you bought at probibly 1/2 - 1/4 the price (more engines.. more lazers..) Soon you the imperial find yourself in a tie-fighter fighting a b-wing... Good luck friend.
My suggestion is to lay low for a week while ppl get closer to master before you buy anything from a shipwright. They will figure out the profession. Use planet and auction channels to find better prices than what ppl are shouting in the starport.
I want to be a shipwright also.. But I won't sell them right away.. {Cooperdyne} INC does not get stamped on substandard items.

I've talked with people that are saving money to buy a ship or resourses to make one once the expasion gets out. I wonder if there is alot of you that are doing the same thing.

I remember when speeders first came out, people were selling the for 80-150k in Anchorhead lol. I had a friend make me one after i supplied him with resources. Now people are selling these for 12-15k. So i would not buy one from a crafter first week or 2 unless you have tons of credits. Best bet would be to stock up on Faction Points. You will be able to buy these from a recruiter i am sure. And then buy a different kind later when prices drop. But then again i hope everyone doesnt thing a "space ship" will cost 12-15k either

Are you kidding me? remember when vehicle customization kits first came out? People were paying somewhere over 100k for a 2-4 use kit. Then a Master DE pops out with some sweet azz 8 use kits and man he claened house... So yeah when JTL goes live the few who ground out the Shipwright will get a ton of buisness from the rich people wanting a nice new ride through the stars
