Alas I spent so much creds on getting the resources to master I am now struggling to make it back ... although as a master pilot I could make alot in space and get the loot ... with 2 other characters trying to master i thought I was doing well with parts.
Oh well, will continue as I am with my part 7/8 and hope I don't double up with part numbers too much !!!

As random as it is, sometimes you can get 2 disk with just 10 REs..... but it works the other way too. I've gone long periods after RE about 200 parts and not a single drop.

If you double up on parts make a post in the trade forums. That is how i got my KSE schem. If you are part of a friendly guild ask them to drop loot off in a dedicated vendor for you. The nicer people will drop off the rubbish loot for 1cr. You might luck out and find a guildie is grinding all the way through pilot and will have LOADS of loot to show for it.

Hi all
I have been playing SWG for nearly a year, of which about 4 or 5 months I have been shipwright. I mastered a week or so ago but during this time I have been RE'ing what I can. I have been RE'ing for guildee's and only now have got my 1st part of the firespray schematic after what must be about a hundred or so RE's.
How do you have the patience, or the loot, to get them all !?!? You must spend days in space getting the loot, or is there a way of increasing the chance of getting a part?
Regards

But lots of level 1 parts, Let your guildies know you are collecting them, and offer a better deal then the chassis dealer.

Heh...I so lazy that when I get all the disk, I'll just put them on my vendor for an silly price. Can't be bothered to make one. Besides it keeps them rare thus increasing their value. That's a good thing right?

Well, i've now set up a communal ship stores for loot on basis I am re'ing parts for guild, and people have access to loot parts (with admin restrictions of course)
Have to say though, large = 400 items = set of houses probably once it gets popular !!
It is good though, encourages co-operation with guildee's and any RE parts I dont want go to the guild.
Oh, made my 1st ever Y-8 cargo hold .... 34.5k capacity. Back of the net !!!

Snicker... 34.5k cargo hold...Thats pretty nice.
Now I want to see you try to mine with the current Y-8 turret configuration.
I gave up after the 3rd hour and only had 15% of the hold filled.
Oh I just had a brainstorm...what if they allowed fighters to "dock" with mining ship to unload their cargo hold into the mining ship. hrm... The more I think about this idea...the more I like it.

Days? Try weeks... still feel it's almost too easy. About two weeks ago I suddenly decided I wanted the Firespray, so put all myrealRE jobs on hold and started grinding tier 1 fighters to get as much low level parts as possible, thus increasing the numbers of "rolls on the dice" I'd get. I have this realy good tier 1 spawn point where I've been sitting solo in my YT-1300's top turret for 6-8 hours a day, shooting ships non stop.
It's realy not hard, and I don't think a few weeks of grinding is too long. The ship SHOULD be random. I managed to get between 1-3 discs per day (from what I can tell, the chance seems to be 1%) and today I found that number 6/8 disc that has been so elusive for more than a week.With that last disc, I had the following discs:
2 x 1/8
5 x 2/8
6 x 3/8
3 x 4/8
2 x 5/8
1 x 6/8
4 x 7/8
3 x 8/8
As you can see, I've been getting my fair share of doubles, but it never bothered me. Another 6/8 disc and I'll complete my second set.
For the record, I recieved 5 uses on the schematic. Made one for myself, gave three away and I'm gonna sell the last one unless Aubrea makes it to master pilot extremely fast. The rest of my friends will have to wait for my second set, but I expect to have that one completed in a few days...

I'm not gunning for the Firespray. Ship sucks anyway.
When I get a disk, well I get a disk no big deal. Missing 3 & 5 got a few spares:
But I don't care. I'll get them all sooner or later.

Haven't gotten a disk in months.

Missconception. It may not rule in PvP, but it's the bane of anything in PvE. If you don't find it awesome in PvE you're just flying it badly, simple as that.
1. The reported 100/100/50 PYR is way off if you ask me. It takes some time, but once you find the speed "sweetspot", the Firespray can pretty much turn on a penny. If you fiddle with the speed settings correctly while flying, it handles like an A-wing.
2. 2 missiles and 2 guns is the perfect setup for a ship of that mass. Compare it to the Krayt, where 1 of the 3 SP guns is useless since it's hardpoints are spread so widely that the bolts will simply pass any target by on it's sides. Then you have the extra MP turret. Lot of good that will do you, I've yet to see a turret work well in PvE or PvP, and I doubt I will untill they make turrets able to stay on target even though the ship is turning.
3. With only 2 guns, the Firespray allows you to use much heavier parts overall than on the Krayt.
4. The placement of the gun hardpoints is superb! It's truly the best part of the ship when it comes to PvE. Be it a gunboat or a Corvette, you WILL own it in a Firespray. When you flip that sucker upside down you'll be able to take out Corvette turrets and such things without EVER getting shot at. Never again. Leave the shields at home. Armor? Why, I have a Firespray... 
5. Not realy that important, but it's more or less the only ship that allows you to see stuff if you fly in cockpit view. I like to fly in cockpit view since it makes it feel more real, but I rarely do since most ships will make you completely blind to your surroundings in this view. the firespray has got a nice and open window...
One should also remember that the ship is simply cool. And don't give me that "Boba Wannabee"-yapping. That might be the matter for some, but for most it's just a matter of looks. It's gorgeous. Textures are spiffy. Engine noise is insanely cool.
Plain and simple, it only "sucks" in PvP, and PvP is, what? 1% of all space combat? I can live with that...

I have used it for a very long time. I dislike the top/bottom gun placements.
Cockpit is really ugly. Looks so cartoonish. If I have to fly a bathtub, I'll take the Rix any day over a KSE.
