Hey folks, i just found this on the shipwright forums:

Awesome work on compiling this info AhrienTerrik. I agree with your fix suggestions, and have implemented something exactly along those lines for Publish 24 to fix the experimentation issues with the Elite components and mining tools. When Pub 24 hits TC, you'll see that resource requirements have changed for all of these components to make experimentation more favorable.
You'll also notice that the Elite, multiplayer-ship-only components have had some pretty major stat upgrades so that a team of people crewing a multiplayer ship will be a formidable force. I've tweaked those stats before, but not to this extent. People have told me that a crewed multiplayer vessel should be about as deadly as if those people were each flying a starfighter, and the stat increases I implemented should put the elite components into that range. I'll tweak in testing as needed based on your feedback and our QA, so once you guys get a hold of these changes, please let me know how close I am to being on target with these changes.
Cheers, and have a good weekend.

That will be great. Mabeypeople (other than xp leechers)will actually beg to fly on a POB ship instead oftheir fighter.

I agree, POBs could be tons of fun if tuned properly

That sounds great! Better shields/armor/engine is a good thing for my Decimater(sp) But, I think the weapons shouldn't be tweaked too much. The good ones are good enough to take a decked out fighter in 1 or 2 hits from what I hear.(correct me if I'm wrong)This way the POB ships will last longer but not completely pwn the fighters. I've always thought that the lighter fighters should have agility but less armor and weaps and then curve the agility down as the armor and weaps increase.

Great news, but I have to wonder exactly what kind of upgrades we're talking... and will the changes go onto parts already made? I assume not considering the Engine changes didn't work in reverse.

As an owner of a fully Elite-Equipped YT... Do my existing components get upgraded, or do i have to mine the crap again?

More than likely you'll need to mine the crap again. I don't think they would do a database pass of POB components (it would be a relatively complex one) for such a "minor" change.

I am very much looking forward to this. And on a side note I think that there should be a option of adding at least one energy weapon thats non turret to the YT-1300.

I hope not...Standard YT-1300's actually are only supposed to have ONE turret..heh. Solo's flying piece of junk was heavily modified.
