I do not lke hearing that ships should and need a lot of resources to make them.
This is what should be needed to make each ship from a shipwright.
1 Unit of Lead.
IT IS A BLUEPRINT, you buy the SHIP from a CHASSIS BROKER. He is the one that gives you the thing that flies, the shipwright gives you a piece of paper.
This needs to be fixed.
I think they have things reversed.
The shipwright should be charging and using the corresponding resource ammount.
10k Tier 1
25K Tier 2
50K Tier 3
75k Tier 4
100k Master.
The Chassis broker (money sink) is the one that should charge you 20k-1 million per chassis.
Tell me your thoughts?

Sorry about the 1 unit of lead, it was a stealth addition to the game last week, but you can only harvest it from asteroids and it is used to make ship ladders and pilot chairs. That is why there is an asteroid option on the bizaar and the turret ladder and pilot chair also on the bizaar. You guys just have found it yet.

Ilike to view it this way, so it makes some sort of sense.
The shipwright collects all the nescessary parts, adds the instructions on what to do with the parts, puts it all in a convienent container, and then sells it to you.
The Broker then takes all the parts that you provide, and puts them together.

Just like the fact that the Star Destroyers we see on the ground are on the other side of the planet when we launch into space.

That is really funny, I have wondered where the hell they are, you would think that a rebel would not be able to land at any starport, excpet maybe the POI Corellia. Oh wait there is no starport there. Then again there are a few other rebel outposts that they should be able to go to also.

Someone made a real good post in Beta about how the Chassis Broker should be renamed as a "Ship Registry Officer" and word the whole transaction that he is actually granting you a licence to use the ship .. obviously operating just the same as it is now, but the descriptions are a bit more realistic than whatwe have now.

Yup, on the way to master Shipwright you'll have to visit hell once or twice. Pretty fun.
