Well i hit master shipwright with my tc tune to check out the cool new JTL stuff in beta at the moment and here's some info i got...
- Both mining ship components and all the MP ship components require one or more space asteroid resources to build. Which is cool with me, just wish you could gather them in beta atm. hehehe
- The new light hutt fighter is level 35 complexity and seems to take a little more resources then the kimo. It also takes some of the new asteroid resources.
- The heavy xwing is NOT currently listed in the crafting list for master shipwright, although the heavy z95 is.
- theres a bunch more textures for a handful of ships. awing, xwing, bwing, arc 170, etc.
- the mining ship is called the y-8 and it is not listed in the craft listing for master shipwright, neither is the jedi fighter, grevious's ship, or the arc 170.
Hope that helps ya folks. ill post more as i get em.
We NEED those asteroid resources to see what sort of stats these new components and ships have =)
I don't understand Skuzz, if you need asteroid resources to make mining components, and you need mining components to obtain these resources, isn't this a chicken-and-egg problem?
From what I understand, learning how to do space mining is quest based. This means you will probably get some mining components from the quest givers just so you can start mining. From there, you can provide the resources to the shipwrights, and probably get better components from them.

If this is the case, I personally think this SUCKS! Why do the devs keep crapping on our profession. First, the starter ship and space loot. Later came the fully upgradeable starter ship. Now, they are going to give pilots components for completing quests? Giving a pilot certification for completing a quest is one thing, but giving them a component just plain sucks. I thought this notion of asteroid mining was going to be the "killer app" for pilots and open up new doors for us shipwrights. Guess not.
Our correspondant needs to take note of this and take this to the devs as an issue.

Well the mining laser still isnt an option to build for a master Shipwright on testcenter so i imagine it wont need space resources. Im hoping at least. All the other components that i mentioned so far do need the space asteroid resources however.
I just posted a breakdown of many of the new MP ship components in this section, with stats. So anyone interested should go check em out 8)

Really dumb question here but, do you need RotW to craft these new ships?

My guess is yes you will, but I have absolutly nothing to base that on.
