Thread: HUGE Problems with the Upcoming Y-8 Fixes, Resource Stealing Among the Crew
My bad, it's the lootbox that is missing. Sorry for the confusion.

I'll admit though, I'm not interested in using the Y-8 as a mining vessel. I plan on using it as a gunboat instead. 4 Turrets, 1 forward firing gun and 1 launcher. Main vulnerability is from below and behind... sounds like a gunboat to me.
From what I understand, you can only fit mining lasers or tractor beam in any of turrents.
Well that would be a new "fix" if it is the case as my current Y-8 is loaded to bear with cert-10 nasty guns in all positions (round 4500 max dam each pre-WO4). So unless they changed that, it's still possible. Honestly i think they shouldn't change the ability to mount any gun you want but I guess if they want to keep it as a pure mining vessel... although, it just doesn't sound right.
I guess if they expect you to have the two forward turrets as tractor beams, the forward firing gun as the mining laser and the top/bottom turrets as regular guns for defense.... I dunno. I have a feeling you can put any gun you want in any of those 5 slots. I guess we'll see. (unless someone has tested this and can testify.....)

Sigh, I have a long way to go, I'm 2101 and I am trying not to do the grind, but make stuff that will sell, or what is ordered. I'm doind DE as well the same way.
There's a thread in the Shipwright forums about grinding Shipwright in 30 minutes.... I followed that pretty closely and did it in about a day. Biggest problem is you have to purchase all the resources before you begin otherwise it sucks. Cost me about 10 million but got it done in a day.

Understood, but I hate the crafting grind and have wanted to go shipwright for awhile. I didn't go for the 30 minute deal though either.
I took my time, but I also ended up with a boatload of deeds to place on my vender to get started. So far posted prices at about 2 cpu. Now the hard part is setting up extractors so I can start crafting the good stuff. I re'ed about 600 looted parts last night too (ended up with one Firespray disk and a lot of good re's).
Considering I have 3 pilot characters not sure if I'll sell my re's but I do want to get started collecting resources for good crafting. Prolly be about a month on that though.
Good luck with it. From what I hear making cash as a shipwright isn't the easiest way to make money. Especially on Ahazi with such a small pilot community. But we'll see how it goes.

Just wondering if the devs have made a peep about this.
Nope, I wouldn't hold my breath if I was you either. JTL ardly gets any fixes none-the-less attention at all.
