A couple months ago I dropped/remastered pilot and managed to put together a nice .69/.69 22.5k RE borstel.
The week following that, I found a pre-re .667 vs. shield and a pre-re 22.5k mass... .. .
I felt both elated and a wave of exhaustion coming from a future effort that week.
Well... I do have a couple decent mass items other than the one I mentioned, and I didnotice your sig, there...
If you've got an extra low mass L10 engine, we might be able to make a deal.

But then when I saw the abomination it'd been put into, THAT'S what prompted me to take my crusade to the Shipwright forums and tick off (though not intentionally) ShaiLyn and others.

"Extra" meaning an an additional low mass (non-best) engine hanging around.
Yes. Got that, heh.

Anyway... Err... I'm pretty sure this thread wasn't intended to be a discussion between you and I.
Hey, any thread can have that happen, heh.

I'm still not quite sure you know why that ticks us off. If you want to offer advice on looted parts, that's great. It sounds like your guide will do that well. But If you want to tell people what to do with their stuff, and suggest they are ignorant or foolish to do otherwise is in bad form and compromises the integrity of an otherwise great guide. That you might do so in a condescending tone would only make things worse. A shipwright can have any reason they want not to sell a component to another person. Maybe they want a firespray, maybe they dont want good parts winding up with the wrong faction, or maybe they dont want to take the time to learn all the ins and outs of every piece of space loot that comes their way. Whatever the reason, it's none of your business. It's None Of Your Business! Furthermore, the presumption of your gripe is that you weren't given a chance to buy the part at a steal price on the bazaar. Otherwise, why does it matter? Realise that if your guide educates everyone to what their parts are worth, you may stop seeing bad RE jobs on the bazaar, but you'll also stop seeing good deals on pre RE good parts. Either way, you have to take the good with the bad.
you're right. it's for the same reason that any great CA or AA i find on the ground, i immediately put in a pice of 0 condition armor. wouldn't want it falling in the wrong hands, and who are the combatants on the server to tell me what to do with MY execeptional tapes? maybe i WANT a +25 rifle speed 0 condition piece of battle armor. who is anyone to make fun of me for wanting it?
ppfft. just like you have every right to make a collosally stupid decision when RE'ing a part, people have the right to criticise that decision. IMO there needs to be a SWG wide "hall of RE stupidity" thread, but if jotun wants to keep it part of his thread, that's his business. and really, insinuating SW's make poor decisions on purpose? you'd be an enormous hack. drop shipwright if you have EVER done something like that on purpose. that's 1000X worse than doing it unintentionally, which just deserves some good natured ribbing.

yeah i'm sure that's what's going on. lol.what an amazing display of foresight on the part of those shipwrights. i recind my statement! kudos to them.
hahah
i only wish i was smart enough to have realized that earlier. damn.
persoally i think jotun should write his guide the way he wants, and all the people who don't agree can write their "hacks guide to shipwright and business". please, send me an autographed copy, i'm pretty sure i have a vendor full of rare parts that i can delete.
