While higher ship masses for freelance ships was indeed needed, you have simply screwed every shipwright who has stocked vendors with chassis. I have 7 Rihkxyrk chassis on my vendor that are now completely useless. Do you ever think before making such changes??

well, devs are always looking for new money sinks in the game... I guess this time it's the Shipwrights' and Pilots' turn. I feel for you.

Hello Folks,

Today's publish included changes to Shipwrights and we would like to gather your constructive feedback on these changes.

Profession: Shipwright

• Increased possible max armor stats for Mark IV and V Durasteel Plating
  
• Ship Components don't display yaw, pitch, or roll acceleration values, since these are determined by the chassis, not the engine
  
• Existing equipment factories that would not take shipwright schematics should now accept them
  
• Moved missile and countermeasure launchers to separate categories in the crafting tool

UI

• Fixed planet sizes on the galaxy maps for ground and space.
  
• Fixed broken icons
  
• Fixed a bug that caused ship vendors to not display on the planetary map.
  
• The Toolbar is always visible.

Iam 0400 Shipwright - expert on engines. ONLY CHANGE IN 11.2 IS INCREASED SPEED and removed acceleration stats. With same resources speed on Mark V with overdriver IV went from 89 to 101. But turning rates are still TOO LOW. I have very good resources, mining only the best available for engines ! Checking swgcraft.com three times per day to stay informed about the best resources for engines. And turning rates still about 51 on Mark V with great success assembly. Ooo great, who wants Mark V 33K mass 51 rates 101 speed? Nobody? Strange....

Waiting for PATCH FOR MASS ON CRAFTED COMPONENTS
PATCH WHAT WILL INCREASE YAW/PITCH/ROLL RATES ON CRAFTED ENGINES.
Without that crafted engines = junk.

It is an MMO values change all the time, that is the risk of stocking too much. This happened to architects not once but twice. They increase the BER on harvestors. Deal with it, don't create too much stock ahead of time.

Also, now you might actually sell a new deed instead of someone buying a used one.

You realize that given the nature of Shipwright-- the heavy resource requirement, the hand-crafting, etc.-- that NOT pre-stocking on whatever you know is selling is an invitation to be swamped with work and unable to fill mass orders when a guy and a bunch of his friends all decide they needs ships from you suddenly? I'm not really affected by this, since I mostly sell Rebel ships, and even if I was, I'd just deal with it, but saying that the solution is "don't stock a bunch of stuff" is really naive on your part.

Let's face it-- people have a certain amount of right to being upset. We spend hundreds of thousands in resources building a handful of ships, and now they're going to have to be sold under cost to make anything back on them. Even if a shipwright only had two or three of each ship in stock before the patch (which isn't a huge load of stocking, really), you're still talking potentially hundreds of thousands of credits lost, depending on what they were. Personally, I'll shrug and eat the loss on the 2-3 ships I have that got affected by this, and make it up the best I can, but I don't think it's too unreasonable to be upset at the hit this represents for many of us. Especially when the people getting hit hardest are those that were putting in a lot of effort to be a good SW with a good selection in-stock.

Really like the new changes, what about capacitors tho?

Plz do something about them soon crafted capacitors are really bad compared with average loot
