Think the cargo hold is for space mining! don't quote me on that, but you can use normal ships for space mining, no idea what the chassis modifier is though.

Also, are our problems with weapons fixed yet? I'd like to put my components back into my ship.

Thanks,

I think it's safe to put components back into ships. I left a bunch of low level components on my ship and they haven't gotten messed up for the past two days.

The ship conversion issue that threatened our weapons should be okay now. It looks like they fixed the issue before the code went live.

Yep its a permanet addition, it's there if you want to use that ship for space mining. No idea what the chassis modifiers are.

I real irony I noticed: the cargo bays that are required for space mining require astroid minerals to build. What comes first, the chicken or the egg? The cake or the bake? Will we get some innitial help? This doesn't make sense.

Chassis Modifiers - maybe this is where such things as the Heavy X-wing modification come in? Although the Heavy Z95/Syck/TIE are made by shipwrights, hrm...

Oh, and I guess for space mining you'll be given a trashheap set of mining equipment, like the way you got given a ship by your pilot trainer.

Winglets are used in commercial jet liners to increase fuel economy bytaking advantage ofthe wing tip vortexthat are formed by swept back wings. So why not here?

Looks like they do indeed serve a purpose. Just found this link from the SW forum regarding some of the new ships and features coming with ROTW.

Actually I'm guessing the chassis modifiers are slots for the new decorative emblems that can be put on a ship. I have Winglet and Straker (sp?) components added to my SW list that appear to be a cosmetic modifier to a ship. Won't know for sure til ROTW I guess.

/dock after you disable the engines. once that's done, you get a message saying so and so items have been transferred into cargo or something. how do I get to this so-called cargo? this is non-mission stuff taken from freighters.

oooo you can dock with non mission ships and steal their stuff?
