either that or they would just live with what they looted(which is pretty good and in some cases better than your crafted stuff{the 30k gen rate reactors})

Ah, but who would re it for them? It would take about 30 million in creds for the materials and all that time away from looting (GASP!) for them to make something useful.

Umm, btw, I'm looking for said 30k reactor, any tips on where I might find one?

All the old pilots would just keep right on flying with all their non decayable gear in deep space and not even notice. All the newbies would get fed up, quit swg, and go play tie fighter vs x-wing.

Obviously you dont realize that you can use a looted ship component without re'ing it.

as for where to get the 30k gen rate reactors, ive gotten both of mine from tier 4 dutys to distroy black sun fighters

actualy i just looted a 25k gen rate level 8 reactor with 29.5 k mass

Some would Respec an Alt into Shipwright and RE all the massive loot piles they were accumulating and... HEY! that's exactly what I've already done! Go figure. But, for as many who feel that they need the recognition gained from a Massive Work stopage, there are more shipwrights out there who would continue to Maintain their current Client relations And, see an opportunity to gain new ones.

Overall Shipwright seems to be a balancing act. While Many RE'd parts are superior in many ways to Crafted items, the flip side is that you CAN'T gain RE'd components without the help of a Shipwright. And, unless you are a new pilot, non Reverse Engineered parts just don't cut it. Don't forget, That there are a good many ShipWrights who are also Pilots, Also, there are a great many Niche markets, and many motivations behind being a ShipWright. Not every one here is out to be the "Best" or "Biggest" on the server. In fact, it can be argued that there are Legions of "Best" on every server. So, if you choose to go on Strike, to show everyone how valuable YOU are, you just might find that... No one notices.

Just for the record, as a Master Shipwright since the day JTL went live and during beta, I have RE'd very few components. In fact, after JTL went live, many shipwrights felt as though space loot was killing their sales. As a result, I sort of silently boycotted space loot by not RE'ing. I even refused to RE as a service. After some time, space loot and crafted components have come in line with each other. At this point, I can typically craft components better than most looted components my friends bring to me to look at.
