Nope. Not at all. Let the combat guys shoot up the asteroids and then buy the resources from them.

Maybe if we set up a Wookiewatching club. Naa, unlike birds wookies get grumpy when you stare at them.

What about the wild excitement of dropping harvesters in new and exotic locations?

What about the thrill of seeing how fast your maskscent breaks on the new MOBs?

What about the ongoing frustration of throwing money at SOE for valueless new stuff, when the old stuff is still borked?


Personally, I'm doing it across the board for all accounts...but I'm a glutton for punishment.

Pure crafter? I suppose not. But I'm a Master Pilot and I love space, so I'm gettin' it.

Probably Kashykkian Fiberplast, Kashykkian flora of various types, and so on. Probably new weapons and armour to craft (though no confirmation of that.) For a pure DE, though, I'm not sure.

This makes absolutelyno sense. "Combat guys" are not any better at ship combat than "pure crafters", since PILOT takes 0 skill points. In any event, ship combat will not be a deciding factor in mining anyway except for the aggros - and as I mentioned, "combat guys" get no advantage in space.


The expansion will, as Reaperss mentions, allow people to mine asteroids for resources. Furthermore, the planet will have spawns of resources - some unique. That is more than enough reason in my book to get the expansion.

By combat guys I meant people who enjoy space combat in JTL, I was not referring to the ground game.

It's a shame you won't be able to outfit your existing ship to mine asteroids. I hope this mining ship has turrets.

The real question is: is there any reason for a pure crafter to continue playing this game?

I am pretty sure they said that any ship can be quipped to mine asteroids, but a new ship is being introduced that will be especially good at it.


Of course I could be wrong, and it was a while back I read about it, so it may have changed...
