Am I the only one here seeing problems with the loot quality being so much above what we can craft? Does no one else have an issue with this?
With a profession that is as costly to grind as shipwright, a great deal of our business is being elimintated by the loot that is available. This will eventually totally undermine the profession as you will not have enough business to continue operating.
I had no illusions about recovering my initial investment anytime soon, but I would like to think that I could craft items that could compete with loot. I am using top quality resources, in a research town, and I cannot get anywhere near some of the loot being brought to me. Either we need better achievable stats on crafted items, or high end loot needs to be a rarer find, as it is now, the galaxy is being flooded with it and my only market is chassis.
What are your thoughts on this? I am curious. Thanks.

looted Non-RE level 5 capicitor:1090 energy - 36.8 recharge
looted RE level 3 capictor: 980 energy - 33.2 recharge
both are pretty lightweight on reactor drain and mass aswell - to be honest they are just far to good for there respective certs, given the stats that we can produce for the same level items...

Yeah shipwrights are really just for making chassis and analyzing the loot.

The devs finally figured out that Loot is a fun part of the game that was missing. So what if a looted cap can be better than one I can make? We still have much to sell to customers. Did you see the Inconcept loot article? The ground game loot will probably get better also.
The game is about fun guys, not being able to make the best of everything.

What I've noticed though that most loots are low on is hitpoints, not to huge a problem because good loot is so common but it does mean that the stuff won't last as long as the crafted ones.

Well last night I was doing some RE and I got my hands on an engine, that had speed of 92. No idea about any other shipwright, or if you have ever even tried making an engine. But the Mark II which this one was comes NOWHERE close to that. So I just ask how can we compete in a looted marketplace lol!!! Well I know its a new profession and all is Bound to Change!!!

I am at work and dont have stats with me, but I have had 2 accounts from day one of ground game and have tons of the best resources that ever spawned, and I can tell you for sure that my crafted items are 30% to 100% better than looted items.
