"Well unless you got 3 accounts then self building space craft isn't going to happen, sry to disaapoint your crafter....

The DE Elite Professions isStarShip Desinger

Novice : Gets Basic Chasis Desgin for 3 different Types of Space Craft (this will be the smallest of the small of personal craft, limited speed, armor, and weapons)

Skill Tree One : Naboo Design Space Craft (Ranging from the small Naboo Fighters, to the StreamLine Crusiers used in the first two movies speed, and looks is all this class is about)

Skill Tree Two : Corellian Design (Again Ranging from small, slow and bulky craft, to large heavy sheilded, and heavily gunned Cap Ships, if fighting is your thing then these will be your ships, they may not look the best, but as Han Solo says "She's got it where it counts Kid"

Skill Three : This is for the third type of ship, either going to be Mon Cal Class, or Dare I say it, some form of new aged trade federation ship.... (This class will be the Mix of the other two, Faster than the Corellian Style, but way less gunned, and shielded, however much more combat ready than the Naboo Class, with some sacarfice to overall speed.... These ships may also not be the Bulk monsters that the Corellians are, but they wont be the pictures of streamlined bliss that the Naboo class is either.... Over all they will fall in the middle, a good all around ship for the traveler that wants to explore space, but not live in it)

Skill Tree Four : Engines (Proposultion) this is where you get all your Expermintaion, and Assembly Skill! Plus a good range of sublight, and faster than light engines. (note that certain types of hyper drives and sub light engines will be limited to based on chasis size, and design.

The names of the other two are still be worked out but the skill trees have been hashed out, and will look something like as follows

WS Elite Elite Profession

Tree One : Energy Weapons (everything from a single mount small laser, to the quad mount tuber laser blaster, when it comes to base fire power it's found in this tree)

Tree Two : Ion Weapons (From the small surge that annoys your oppents to the one that overpowers the power grid and leaves them floating dead in space, here is the crippling weapon systems you salavate for, how ever at much cost to your over all bulk, and other weapon systems)

Tree Three : Missle Style Weapon Systems (though not really seen in much of the SW movies, never the less, different types of warheads will be used, everything from little rockets to annoy people to proton missles used to blow up the death star, cant wait to use these to finish of a Star Destoryer hehehe)

Tree Four : Here again is the Assembly and Expermintation aspect of the new class, this is also where the weapons trageting systems will be found, got love those to-hit other space craft bonuses!

AS Elite Elite Profession

Tree One : Hull Plating Need I sad more it is ship armor, offers different protections to different types of damage, ie heat, Ion, blast, what have you. Also needed to make the ship space faring lol unless you like feeling like tomato juice run threw a strainer lol

Tree Two : Deflector Shields, where as armor is a mixed blessing on the ground, Deflector Shields will be the mixed blessing in the air, when active the will drain ships pwoer supply, decrease movement, and lower damage output of all weapon system, but hey they will save your arse if the time comes you need to put them up lol

Tree Three : LAYERS lol need I say more, this is where the hull gets it's added protections over its base effecvitiness.... WoW that ships takes no Energy Damage, Fire all Missles lol......

Tree Four : Guess what time it is, thats right Expermintation, and Assembly, who would have guessed lol, but wait there is something missing oh yeah, the power core well here it is, used to power everything from the shield to weapons have fun trying to but the Z71 Power Unit in the Naboo Fighter hahaha

Here is the kicker Armor, Weapons, and Engines will all need repair, due to decay and battle dmg, who is going to repair them, you guessed the ones that build them, so make sure your R2 is on board, and if your Han Solo luckly maybe even a chewie will be along for the flight, if not put in at the nearest Starport, and turn the keys over to your friendly repair personel......

Now to the rumors that are being heard, the Architect is being shafted again, well fear not, from deep with in the minds of SOE, and the hampesters that turn the gears rumors of a the second elite elite architect profession are nothing but whispers now, but I feel will be in full scream as space approaches...... Just a hint as to what I have heard mentioned, and then I will let your minds run wild with possiblities....... Space Pa Halls anyone lol" - DarkLordSilth

If this has truth to it then i'm personally relieved. I had a fear in the back of my mind that they would make this a Combat Droid profession.
