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.....









"When Sony and Lucas set out, we said, How can we do this and not make another EQ? We didn't want it to be all about Luke, or combat, or lock our players into a class. So we created a system that would allow players to switch professions during the game, and there would be a lot of gameplay around making that change. If you want to go from architect to scout we've created a system to make that happen."

Funny, I could have sword the devs said MULTIPLE TIMES that we would play a part in making the **edit** things!

The devs have NEVER said that DE would be making vehicles. The closest they came to saying such a thing was that it would be placed in "the engineering profession" ... but this posted a LONG time ago by Holocron who, quite frankly, has not got a clue about SWG. Never had, never will.

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.

And it's PROVEN!

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.

Because vehicles are now on Test Center. Go to the Test Center forum and look... Anyone with Engineer IV can craft themselves a vehicle.

From what I hear repairs will be done at the garages in cities and Player Citys (next majorpatch or 2 they will be added supposedly). So much for getting business there.

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.

this game is so full of **edit**ing **edit**. Vehicles should be in an elite class and cost LOTS of materials. This game is so **edit**ing dumb. Anyone is able to get there hands on a mount and soon vehicles. Where is the diversity? We are ordanary people in the Star Wars universe and yet we are super rich and can get our hands on anything. It's so horrible the way this game was put together. The devs are such n00bs.
