Ok the new mass system is exatly the same as in beta,the just beefed up the numbers on the ship and on the components to kinda "trik" us.
my ship has 14K mass. when it would have about 6-7K in beta. BUT the components also has been beefed up on the mass. i can fitt less in my ship now the i could in beta. i got 1 capacitatort that takes over 6K mass.... ????
And a shield gen takes 5K mass ??
Blaster that takes 3,5K ???
anyone see what is wrong whit this picture ???
just daft imo. they added more mass to the ships but also to the components. we cant more in the ship,it's even wors now then befor.
imo this suck's bug time for me. cant fitt half my stuff in a bomber class ship.either loos all my armor and have a low lvl shield whitt all weapons or lose most of the weapons and have high lvl armor... whats the point in a bomber if thats how it's gona be ?? just me that are seeing this ??

The masses were only approximatly doubled for the low level ships. The higher level ships and equipment got a bigger modifier, so there is more of a differential between the levels. This means its even easier to shove a lot of low level equipment in your high level ship, but harder for you to fit those high level components in your lower level chassis (so you will generally need the ship and equipment box of whatever tier you are on before you become much more effective).

whats the point ibn anyoene using a low lvl ship at master ? everyone will be flying arroung in the hight lvl b-wing and X-wing as far as i can see ?
Might be wrong thou,but that is just daft.a y-wing is a bomber class ship. why does it have the lowest
mass,when it should have high mass. it's a bomber for crying out loud. it should have higher mass than a a-wing and x-wing.or there will newer bee a point in using them.after u get to an higher lvl. will be composite wear's in space. only swapp the comp armor whit a high lvl ship.No one will ever use a low lvl ship.

The masses relative to stats make no sense. I have a level 2 capacitor thats about 1500 mass, 36 regen 800 ish charge and a level 6 thats 38 regen (and 38 regen is pretty good esspecially when you only have one gun), 1000 capacity and about 7000 mass.
Its basically true that in beta ships only slightly increased in size, which made a lot more sense given the way itemization was done. No it doesn't make sense that a Y-WING weighs less than an a-wing (or a tie bomber the same as a tie interceptor) but the way items are you had a more sensible control of what you could do, and that system only needed a little tweaking.
Currenlty you are best with like level 1 armour, level 2 reactor, as low level engines as you can get with decent speed, level 1 booster, level 1 droid interface, max level guns and shields (since they're the only things that actually scale with mass in any sort of way), and as low level capacitor as you can find to power your guns, ideally level 2/3 or if you're in a higher tier ship maybe 4/5. Its just dumb, they should never have gone live like this and quite frankly after having been in beta I'm suprised they did, it seems all to sterotypical sony incompetence (even if the sterotype is largely undeserved).

Mass is al relative also to what was done with the experimintation, the level SW, and the resources used I believe. I have a Y-wing with 156k Mass. It was made by a master SW with maxed out experiment mass, and 900+ on all the resources.

But I do agree that the A-wing should not have a higher mass then a Y-wing.
