Thread: Please post in the threads reached by the stickies at the top =)
For all the casual gamers that say we charge to much.
1) I can make ~300k credits every two hours on one single mission that i fight teir2 with tier 3 bosses, with a chance for a great loot item.
2) I didn't have a MSW, but a novice SW skill that i was grinding during my time working my pilot.
3) I didn't have much cash, but i aways got enough in space to build a new ship each time i got the first two boxes on each tier, while also buying new harvies for my Novice SW to grind.
4) I never did get the 300k credits every two hours becuase i used all the loot i could have sold to get RE for Firespray disks.
5) The only pilot that can get a firespray ship is a Master Pilot. They cannot be flow by any other pilot level.
6) If a Master Pilot can't afford a Firespray ship, they are either spending credits on everything on the ground, or they are not flying for money.
7) I afforded everything and worked on everything with only one of my three Pilots who payed the way for my other pilots to also go up in skills. So, i used one to pay for the work and needs of at least 5 toons. Now tell me you can't afford to do it on a causal basis for just one.
I was able to afford all the great ship parts i needed, and bought harvies, and grounded SW which still isn't master yet but close, and work my pilot skills up to Master, pay for new ships, buy new ship parts that i didn't loot, bought better parts than i could even RE yet, payed for 25+ buildings that i maintain continually, pay for two other toons to be great pilots, pay for ship repairs when i died doing master pilot box missions, all on one pilots income who never ever was a ground combatant. I make more in space than i could ever on ground and this is the first flight sim i ever got past the first part. i sucked in flight sims till JTL where i had to learn skills for the first time.
I know i repeated myself but i know for a fact a casual player can afford a lot on a pilots salary if they just know where to hunt in space. Sell all your loot to the Chassie dealer that you don't want or to a SW who will even pay more for then, and there is one out there. If i can do it while paying for more things, you can. Space, the final money maker of SWG.
I know for a fact that space makes money. He who says he can't afford anything doesn't know how to fly, doesn't shop around, and is just whining over not having an easy button to god mode.Loot ship blueprints is a major slap in the face to all Crafters. Infact, Master Artisans got slapped in the face before SW were made. But i won't go there.

I have an issue.
The schematic for the Heavy Hutt Fighter is misplaced.
It is listed under Misc, not Ship Chassis. The description says it is a deed, but once it is made, it is a blueprint.
The name on completion of the crafting process defaults to n:[Heavy_Hutt_Fighter_etc] or something like that. Essentially it is unfinished.

Just an FYI for Shipwrights. Crafted Engines and Capacitors should be getting stat increases across the board in the next live update. This should make it so that crafted versions of these ship components can be crafted at a higher quality than looted components.
I suspect that's fairly low on the list of bugs to be fixed. It is on there, just fairly low down the list.

TH, how does that help with us Shipwrights being cut out of the loop on what is the best ships now in the game?
I wouldnt call the new ships "the best ships in the game"....
And, those ships have no componets on them. Hmmm, who will make those for me?

This is not true--the Jedi Starfighter 2 is definitely a superiority starighter in every sense of the word.
Thanks again,

Im a little confuesed about the jedi starfighter. Are you guys saying thats an imperial ship? That doesnt make much sense to me.
It makes perfect sense. Imperial = The Republic. Jedi were part of the republic. Jedi were made enemies of the republic (have you see the teaser?).
My main issue is that they will not let us build the new spaceships. The new ships are being given out as deeds at the end of quests.With Beserker rifles or AV-21s, they gave out integral parts but still needed crafters. The way the game is headed crafters will not be needed. You run through the quest that Darth Platypus laid ouit and you have everything you need to do space mining.
From an SW point of view, the cool part of the expanion are the ships. But we are cut out of that. There is no content on the expansion for a shipwright. What content there was, the schamtics, were in my datapad before the expansion.
The screwed the Entertainers. Squad Leaders. Doctors. Image Designers. Armorsmiths. Now Shipwrights. It is clear that everything being developed is soly for the combat classes, and to me there is no reason to continue in a non combat role.
So I cancelled my Shipwright
And lets just have a look at how bad crafters hurt...
KSE firespray, the -lowest- price i saw the other day was 6.5 million (highest was around 10 mil)
AV-21 i think is what in the neighborhood of 2 million?
Mandalorian armor? I dont even want to know....
These ships are not the biggest and the baddest in the game, thier just fun, trophy ships really. If you balance them right they can be good but that requires a good shipwright and sinking several million in RE'd componants into said ships.. So think more about what your complaining about.
