we really need these factories to run compoents and customized compoent addons. havign factories will help keep prices down int he long run. hand crafting items for each customer = more money per item.

i dont agree. factories lead to one person with multiple accounts monopolizing a market. hand crafting means that many starship engineers can ply their trade without one person or a small consortium cornering the market. yes things will be more expensive per unit to the consumer but it means more people can be SW and still make a living at it.

Congrats on the first complaint post.
Even though I have yet to play JTL I have to agree. I want to be able to set up a row of factories cranking out commonly requested items. There are too many time sinks in the game as it is.

im DEFINITLY not complaining. please dont misunderstadn my intentions. im not gonna go blast soe or say swg sucks. im simply asking for an addition ot our profession. everyoen else has factories and it makes sense for them... how does it make any less sense for us to have them.

Disagree 100%
First thing its cheep to fix a ship in space,
2 With so many ways to make a engine, shield, or a booster making them all player made adds to the game. No longer can you just go to the vendor and get a engine. With so make ways to make a ship there has to be more player-crafter talking to see what the player wants.
Also it adds to the game to have a crafter servicing the needs of his players, instead of running factorys and loading vendors.

Maybe if you complain more SOE will do what you said?
And i can give a rats A** what my stars are because my life and opinions are not baced on what some rating system on this boards tell me. I don't suck a**
Also stars will not get u more money at the end of the yeah.
In beta I made ships for new players infront of the starport all night for weeks at a time, running factorys will make shipwright like every other crafting class, hard to find a good one and good luck talking to one.

well im not really sure what u are saying here but your getting awfully hostile about this and im sorry if i said something that upset u here.
all im saying is i want to fly also, not spend eveyr day making ships for u and i have to craft ever single part msyelf. my comment abotu the 1 star was because soemoen 1-stared me already and most peopel have threads with one star filtered out which woudl mean most people wont see my thread if ti has 1 star on it.
really is no need to be so hostile twords me u know.

This was a big discussion about this during Beta testing, and it NOT going to happend yet(maybe enough Jedi will complain and they will change it 
<j/k><points at the jedi in the sig

<j/k><points at the jedi in the sig>. Sub-componets can be crafted in a factory but componets or ship deeds can not. I myself wanted to see everything but deeds being crafted in factories. I mean what other crafting profession can't you make factory runs. But one thing you can be thankfull for, you wont have to crafting every different level of componets the first few days. Just make level one(Mark I)componets and sub-componets. That cuts down of the beginning crafting. This will be the most complex crafting profession. With every sort of combination of experamentation and upgrades the posibilties are HUGE.
This will be a highly customizable profession with reguards everything you can experament on. Anyways untill you get in the game you will not realize all the different possibilties.
Don't get me wrong, I still want factories, I myself have 3 accounts and 4 toons and hardly have time to play any of them. So hopefully they will add factories for componets but untill then I willcraft away.

Just my 2creds here but I think that NOT having factories is great.
It's gonna make the whole proffesion much more custom for peoples needs. It's not like NOTHING can be made in one anyway.
You can still make your sub-parts (if I remember right, I didn't try tomake them in a factory in betabut I think I'm right there), ammo & tools in them. The stuff which can't be made via factory is generaly the final outcome. All it meens is that people will need to request from you what it is they want & what they want it too be good for. Hopfully it will also stop cookie cutter ship set-ups as people can't just go to one person & get "the best" stuff around.
On an extra note not having factories has also given us more crafting time & less waiting. We may not have factories but neither do we need factories too make something. The one thingI hate about other crafting proffesions at the moment is simply that it's too much time waiting on a factory for your identical parts. Thats not an issue here.

Factories are not going to happen. There is a short list of items that you can use with them. Best thing I can suggest is find a partner. Me and a guildie are going Master Shipwright and we are going to split the work. Will make things a ton easier on both of us with the hand crafting. Your play time will get better with a partner you trust to help out with the customers.
