or posssibly schematics at master artisan. This concerns the building of engines. In the short run schematics could be given to master artisan that would allow them to build 3 engines, one each for the swoop, speederbike, and landspeeder. These engines would be required in the vehicle schematic. In addition these engines would be crafted from various high quality sub-components(similar to private crafting stations). The final build could be experimented for both speed and power(hills) and allow for different combinations of those characteristics.

In the long run, with the coming of the space expansion, the building of engines could be expanded to include starship engines. The question to ask is whether or not there will be enough content to support an engine building profession. The vehicle engine schematics should be given to master artisans. It is unfair to ask those who can build the vehicles to require them to learn a novice master level profession just to build the engines for them as well. The complexity of starship engines however almost calls for a master level profession. If you want to build sub-light up through hyperdrive capable engines, you should have to get the proper skills and experimentation points that only a skill box tree could give you.

Just an idea, do what you will with it.

If I had to put money on it though I would bet that a hyperdrive capable starship will be made with a big pile of ferrous and a big pile of non-ferrous.
