Thread: Why the disparity between shipwright and other crafters?

Because shipwright was the last class added to the game, they had a lots of experience in designing classes, and they changed things a bit in hope of improving them.
Evenif agreed that they were improving them, which im not sure I do, that doesnt explain the inequity between the classes. Again, my question is why can we not trade in shipwright XP for FS crafting XP and why do we need three different types of experimentation tapes to get to the max instead on one for the other classes?
Besides the fact that we are god-like in comparison to all other crafters,...
...it mostly has to do with the fact that the devs didn't like some of what they saw going on with crafting. Thus, Shipwright became an experiment to try to curtail some of the imbalances in crafting. For example, Shipwright was the first profession that did not require AP to become a master. It wasn't long after JTL went live that AP disappeared from the game.
What I can't figure out is why some of the other changes have been incorporated into the other crafting professions. For example, the inability to manufacture crates and crates of final products (e.g., starfighter engines).

Don't be too offended chlaos, it's just that most people hear FS XP in the shipwright forum, and pretty much copy and paste their usual opinion on the subject in without reading the entire thread.... and who can really blame them, it's an issue that gets brought up all the time.
Well, I certainly expect better manners from a fellow Mon Cal. The forums have turned downright nasty the last several months. 
I honestly wasnt aware it was a topic covered all the time, I really dont spend as much time on here as I probably should. Its not even a problem with not being able to do the FS stuff as I have a master architect I can do it with, I just think its odd that we should be the only ones who cant. How could any one think this is equitable?

Its hard to fathom how any shipwright could be in favor of his own proff being treated more harshly than other crafters. I mean you dont see the weaponsmiths crying for different experimentation CA's for rifles, pistols, and carbines.
There may be a legitimate answer as to why it is that way, and I was just asking if a Dev had ever explained it.Oh well, wasnt that big a deal to me just something I was wondering about.

Sorry about my manners. I'm not housetrained. Dev explanation was that they wanted space and ground games to be as seperate as possible.... My personal feelings about how exp works in this game are rather .... Yeah... You know, the whole FS Crafting grind is stupid and broken. And that's all I'm going to say about that.

Most crafting profs have multiple lines of exp, see WS. Our xp dosnt count because JTL was alawasy supposed to not be a part of becoming jedi. We would likely have a trade in worse than archi's so who cares anyway. I personally like the ability to exp on every stat.
I like the ability to exp on every stat to, I was referring to needing seperate tapes for each one which no other crating proffs require. Such as needing chassis tape, engine tape, weapon tape while a weaponsmith just needs wepon exp tape for all as do all the other crafting proffs.

Don't Front and Rear Hitpoints equalize when you enter space? So it would be best to put in equal numbers for both?
No, but you can tweak them with with the Rebel shield adjust droid programs.
