Thread: No vehicles for DE's
It's one thing to not give vehicles to DE - an eliteprofession - it's another thing to just throw them into a base profession.
Yes, I'm an MA because I need parts to build droids, but still.....
Funny, I could have sword the devs said MULTIPLE TIMES that we would play a part in making the **edit** things!
It would be a "good thing" if DE's at least get repair modules so droids can repair vehicles. Might go further to making us half-useful out in the field or at outposts.
It's no biggie if DE's don't get vehicle schematics, droids and fixing the DE profession should be our main concern. However, since droids so often play a part in repair and maintenance, it would add further insult to ingury if we get no part of the repair business.
Engineer IV is all you need to craft vehicles, it's on Test Center now.

Can you be more specific? I dont understand how you can know this without there being vehicles.
Guys, these vehicles are just the "starter" vehicles. I'm sure as more advanced vehicles come along, the schematics will require sub-components. Think of these vehicles as being similar to bone armor or travel packs.
I have to hope that a Vehicle Engineer profession is on its way with the Space expansion. Even though they haven't said anything about new professions, I have to believe that they won't have Vehicles and Starships without having people who make them, and I honestly can't see any way for them to add the schematics to existing professions in a realistic, immersive fashion....
I also believe that when the "Space Expansion" comes out, there will be a new engineer class to make the vehicles. That will also have the effect of vehicles for the "Space Expansion" being gradually introduced, instead of an immediate flood of them appearing. Because the profession will need to be advanced in first, before they can be built.
