1- I know that the heavy Z95 and other low level heavies will be craftable, but what about the heavy X-wing and kimo? What about the ARC 170? Many rumors have flown around and I want to get the truth.


2- Will these heavy upgrades affect the maneuverability?

Those that know the answer to those questions are under a Non-Disclosure-Agreement (NDA) that prevents release of any information relating to RotW until cleared specifically by the devs.


I'm saying that to explain why you either a) won't get an answer or b) may get a guess answer that turns out to be wrong (or someone releases info, gets kicked out of beta and then it changes after they left so is wrong by the time it reaches live)


Once the NDA is lifted expect to see some posts in here pretty quick answering those and the other RotW questions.

before they reach live and may not reach live at all, please read my
comments with that in mind.

Not true. I was at Celebration III at the booth running ROTW, am NOT in Beta or even Applied, and I'll state now that I sawthe Heavy X-wing, Z-95, Kimogila, and Rihkxyrk(as well as the extra special part each one needed, like wing enhancements for the Rihkxyrk, for example) were ALL avialable as schematicsto the character when I trained Shipwright with the blue frog in his inventory(not the Y-8, unfortunately, ).


The schematics for both the ships and the special parts they need both require Asteroid resouces, so get ready to mine in space before you can put them together,


Don't knowabout maneuverability, but it looks like the description of the Royal Guard Version of the TIE Interceptor will be a more maneuverable version of the TIE Interceptor.

Good point - but as a warning remember things can and probably will change. In the run up to JTL there was a demo done and showing shipwright as a novice profession with an elite profession of Starfighter Engineer. People left the demo and spread the word as they weren't covered by NDA.


However during Beta the decision was made to merge the professions and move it to Engineering 4.


What you have seen may remain true, but things may change. I'm just saying that beware things can change a lot in beta.

I wouldn't expect an answer on that one either.

Well you can read about mining in their posts on ROTW, you will be able to mine from regular ships by blasting the asteriods, and gathering the ores. But it is the big special mining ship that holds alot of resources, the regular ships do not hold large resources.

Heavy Kimogilla? First i ever heard of that.

Call me ignorant, but why would you want a heavy kimo when you have the krat, which is nothing more than, a heavy kimogilla? Sounds like sony's reinventing the wheel with privateers lol

in live now they have the schemes for heavy z,tie,and syke. as well as the schemes for the parts to make the others. there are no schemes in live for the ep3 ships or the mineing ship so its safe to assume they are quest rewards or something like the kse.

If you guys will look at the schematics in your datapad, there are winglets available for the Kimo, TIE Advanced, and the RIhk. Strakes can be crafted for the X-wing and Z-95. When you go to your ship at a starport terminal, there is now an option to load a Cargo Hold and any Chassis Mods, which these appear to be. All the new ships except for the Y-8 mining vessel are being shown as Certified in the Tier 4 box of each Pilot profession, the Jedi Starfighter, Grievous Ships and the ARC. The Y-8 is of course Master Level because its a Multiplayer ship, but I think it will be analagous to having a cargo hold the size of a heavy harvester whereas any single ships will be like a personal harvester, i.e. less trips back to the storage vaults.
