Shipwright Archive

The NDA has been partially lifted (see this post), so I was wondering if any of the ToOW tester could explain, following TH's guidelines about what can be told and what not, what the new expansion has for us SW.

I don't plan to buy this joke of an expansion unless it really brings something to the SWs (or Pilots, byt without even a space sector...)

Well it does bring pilots a new ship! Not sure at the moment how much more to say.

I will say this, the world is really spooky and mysterious. I have really enjoyed my travels upon it. The mining facility is well done and there are plenty of things to be doing.

It will be a great place to explore and go on adventures.

I have not been able to even scratch the surface of all the quests you can do.

I am looking forward to having a Transport Skiff.

Apparently, the quest for the YT-2400 is still bugged, so no-one know any of the specifics. Don't expect anything, SOE no longer cares for non-ground-pounders.

I think this upgrade is for combat professions. Really don't see anything for SWs in it. Nothing quiet like a new ship in an expansion and we don't even get to craft it....

If this turns out to be true (and it will by the looks of it) it will save me $30.00.

Maybe I will use this money to buy a Total Experience pack and farm the Nym's Starmap Quest for the free month... I will get a nice BARC too.

oh don't be too sure there is nothing we can craft. Either way, I'm ok with a whole new world to explore.

Seriously Commtampers, If that was true, for one, you could forget everyone working hard to give us better POB components. Or the people working hard to give entertainers more tools to be entertaining with, or maybe we could just forget the new house coming with the expansion, or the skiff. Then lets throw out the whole inspiration buff system that allows us to craft better than ever before.

I just read a post in the expansions forum that a guy looted a schematic for an engine or something like that.... so maybe there is hope.

Its for a new mark 5 reactor that has worse stats than our current mark 5 reactor, or so i read. I am disappointed that once again we are left out of being able to craft the new ship. What is the reasoning behind this? Why even have Shipwrights if you just plan on giving out ships?

To be fair, as far as I know, that reactor was made at 66% and the shipwright who made it did not include an upgrade component for that test.

I don't know about any of you, but to this day I still get requests from JSF pilots for a complete ship loadout full of parts.

I make 100% of my income from crafting ship components, so either way if the ship is craftable or not, I will still be able to sell my components to the pilots.

For what it is worth I did mention to the devs before beta opened that there would more than a few outcrys if this ship is not craftable.

Another thing to consider, I'm not even sure we've found all the quests even if you put all the beta testers together.

Ya, the only chassis I ever sold were from when I was grinding... I even have 1 left that I've been trying to sell since then. Otherwise, its all components. I have no problem with the ship being a quest item, but I would like a reason to buy the expansion. What we get out of it will determine if I'm sticking with crafting or not. If nothing worth while, going to combat. I've meet my personal money goal, so I think it's time to try something new if they can't keep me interested.

Engineers invent new things all the time. So why can't we?

Well there is still hope for the reactor being worthwhile, that is good news. My complaint is not about the income loss, I sell everything I can find the time to craft which is a good bit. I also sell a good many chassis still, between 5-7 a week mostly high end ones. I think its the principle of the thing that bothers me, were shipwrights we should get to make the ships. One of the perks of the expansion is this new ship, why not let us be able to make it? Even from an SOE financial angle, it would make more sense because then SW's would be more inclined to purchase the expansion. The frustration is just building up from a continuation of centering on looted items, Im still pissed about the ROTW ships.
