Stupid. They owned 1half the field- reactors, shields, armor, chasis's,and ordanances, but NO. Half wasnt enough theyhave to have control and monopolize it all, cause they cried that ppl only bought theirchasis's and (overpriced)ordanace- OH BOO HOO!

I'm sure there'llbe able to craft,"TEH MOSTEST POWRFUL:L CAP IN A:LLTEH GLAXY" soon also.Devs willslowly remove all loot that is anything useful cause their still crying now about it, at this very momeny, evenafter their fix was alreadyimplemented.

First all the shipwrights got on their crafted engines was a minor speed boost. YPR still sux when compared to looted parts.

Second I am a master shipwright and I saw all of 3 threads about it before it was implemented. If you consider that crying then head over to the BH or Jedi forums. Your in for a huge surprize on what real crying is.

Third, after that patch I noticed extremely uber loot all the way across the board appearingthat shipwrights cant even begin to craft better. How about a reactor with over 20k in energy and only 15k mass? A capacitor with 1300 energy storage, 47 recharge, and only 14k mass? And my most favorite of all, the shields with 2800 front/back and only 19k mass?

The only parts in my ship now that are crafted is the launchers and armor. Everything else in my ship is looted because I cant even begin to touch this stuff even with the best 1000 all stat resources and amazing successes.

You need to get your facts straight before you yourself start crying.

Yah uber loot ya right, How bout a level 10 reactor that has 8k energy and weighs 66k mass. Or how bout a level 9 engine speed 49 and a mass of 55k. Or how bout a level 9weapon capacitor 650 reserve energy 22 recharge and a 45k mass. Yah thats some real wonderfull loot. Some just dont wana admit that the shipwrights were upset being delegated to making ship hulls, reactorsand armor. Immagine that a shipwright only being able to make "ships" what a world.

100% agree on this statement .. and just wait till shipwrights realize that their stuff is still uselss since reverse engineering lets nearly every crafted part look like crap...

Have you guys possibly considered that this could POSSIBLY be the forerunner to an NPC ship speed nerf, and they don't want the bulk of later adopters able to outrun the hardest NPCs?

I can take down T5 A-Wings with a 72.5 speed REed L4 engine as effectively as I can with a 95.9 L6 engine, it just takes a little longer and a bit steadier aim at longer distances.

You're kidding right?

That would mean the devs are actually thinking about doing something RIGHT and HELPFUL! Somehow, I can't see that happening.

Not all loot you find is going to be great, not all loot you find is going to be junk.

It is fairly common to loot an engine which beats the SW equivalent in some way, i have been running with the same level 4 82 (RE85) speed engine for ages now, it is only 4k mass, good YPR and low energy use, not getting the reward engine is slightly annoying, but it is still possible to loot similar kit.

It is also fairly common to find looted capacitors that out-do SW ones, however it is quite rare to find a reactor, booster, shield or armor that is better than a good SW can make (though possible).

Both loot and crafted components have their place, they are balanced and things work, the reward engine was overpowerered because everyone got it, I am disappointed that i didn't get mine, but i am sure i will loot another decent engine soon enough.

It's not gone yet right? We still have until the patch to earn the 92 speed version don't we?
