218: seeing as there are ships being created that allow for multiple passangers, will land vehicales like the landspeeders be modified to allow for more then one passanger to ride in it? or would this not be implimented die to lag issues, which might cause the passanger to "fall off" the bike while in motion?
219: are you planning on releasing any other ground vehicales, like the abality for a player to now control an AT-ST, or even AT-AT's, speeders, ect?

Good questions everyone...make sure you ask them in the "A Question A Day for the Dev's" that I post daily. These questions here will be considered in the numbering, however, it just helps me to be able to have them in a daily thread so I can condense them and post them here. Anyway, keep the questions coming!

So the question is, does it take skill points to be a shipwright?

Yeah I was wondering that myself. I think that it probably does take Skill points from your main pool...its just HOW you get to the profession that is different. I guess it is all up in the air at this point.

Politician took AP to gain entry.. makes me wonder what they will make as the exp factor for shipwright... standard exp would open a new can of worms
Could it be a quest related profession like its piloting brothers... it shouldn't be as it should require standard skill points because it will be working with the other "ground professions".

I hope its not thatt hard to gain shipwright because if it is, ship prices could skyrocket.

I figure we'll get enough info from beta testers to have a good idea of how it will work befor it goes live (hope to be there :smileyhappy
I doubt it will be as simple as just grinding out xp or applying app, instead maybe like the ris schmatic quest for AS's or tinker xp from getting parts as someone else suggested. My only concern is that if it is tinkering on some rare parts that are hard to find and few and far inbetween then they will sell for an insane price and poorer players won't have a chance to get started in this new prof. Either way in the end the die hards who realy realy want will do it and those who are hopping for an easy grind won't.

223. Does a smaller, faster ship make you significantly harder to hit, or are speed and size differences rather unimportant between different base vehicle type (as in, does a ship's high speed actually compensate for any poor shielding)?

225. Can you clarify the initial requirements (if any) for the shipwright profession? The recent dev comments on this profession have been met with some confusion and much speculation.

229. Can you clarify an aspect of space combat for us? You have said player ships won't be "destroyed" but merely "damaged" so that they reappear on a player's datapad and need to be repaired. But just to be clear, does that mean that when you are shooting at a ship it will actually blow up into pieces? It's not going to just sit there, non-functioning, like a speeder or droid that's been damaged in battle, right? Because that would be quite lame.

231. With the first veteran reward being a ship (on purchse of the expansion). How will this be implemented (will all of my toons get one or just my main) and if I start a new toon (with one of the new races), does that mean I lose my ship?

17. Thunderheart, in ten years can I have your job? ( nerfherder321 )
Not unless Shug throws me into a Sarlacc pit, but then you'd have to take it up with him.
18. Will we be able to pull our droids and have them run around on the YT-1300 deck while in flight? ( ZuppZ )
Sorry but no.
20. Will there be any non-combat related space activities, such as, for example, trading/courier missions or exploration missions? Are there any plans to expandJtL to include merchants or prospectors or any other play styles apart from 'combat monster'? ( Dynonychus )
Not at this time, but in the future, there are many possibilities that we can explore.
21. Will all types of healing work in multi-passenger ships? (i.e. medic / ent healing etc.) ( LeBob )
At this time, the answer is yes, but that may change in beta. We will be looking very closely at how healing shock and wounds is going to work in Space during bete.
23. Will one of the new races have blue skin, red eyes, and black hair? Hehe I’ve really got my fingers crossed for Chiss(MonroeThanes )
Nope.
24. Any plan to add Youzhan Vong (New Jedi Order) as a high level NPC mob in a future dungeon or quest in space? Would be fun to explore a Vong forward recon team or something like that. The biological ships and interiors would be a welcomed and nice change of pace from caves and metal walls, would really let the art team have some fun (or headaches hehe) (MonroeThanes )
No. That takes part in a timeline that is way in the future.
Yes. So much effort went in to creating the Cries of Alderaan, that when we eventually ended it the devs felt that if that much work went in to creating content, that it should be part of the permanent game. The events team will continue to run events and activites, but in the future, when content is added, it will be permanent.
26. Any word on a future monthly stories? (MonroeThanes )

No on the droids? Hmmm, how come in the gamespot movie it was showing a clip of a dancer(inside the yt-1300) and her droid that was doing all the particle effects? Was that before you made the decision of no pets on multipassenger ships?
