Thread: NEW SHIPS
I'd expect at most three decks.
And I'd also expect nothing new for JTL (besides HOPEFULLY bug fixes) in the next year.
Aalob Alarios WP : Will the new starships be made available for new pilots, or will you need a certain skill level to use them?
The starships we are adding with the Episode III Rage of the Wookiees expansion will require master pilot status and one must have completed the quest to be able to use it.

Yes, we are drifting from a crafter-focused economy to a loot-driven one. They can force combat characters to group, but heaven forbid now if a combat character should have to interact with us lowly crafters to get the most out of their l33t l00t.
Newships, new weapons, new armor... new ways to show the crafters they don't matter as much.
(Yes, I know some new craftables have been added... it just seems like the best stuff is being dropped directly).
Right you are. And how ironic that their only answer to crafters getting their butts handed to them on harvester runs is for us to interact with them.

There are many rewards to unearth through the missions and things like Grievous’s starfighter, which is awarded at the end of a quest, will not come easily.

Bummer that we cannot make them, or get them if we dont have much for ground combat skills.

The only new craftable ships are the Tier 0 heavy fighters which now come out with around 95k mass.
The other craftables are:
POB components (some you might use)
Mining equipment (needed for effective mining, the quest stuff doesn't match it)
Texture kits
Cosmetic additions (winglets, strakes)
All of these need mined asteroid resources.
