Hi there. Possibly not the best place for this post, but, it applies to JTL as much as Shipwright.

Not sure if someone else hasnt already suggested this, but I was thinking that it would make sense if the

Shipwright profession had to rely on other crafting professions for some of the parts or components to

promote inter-profession trade.

Such as in Missiles or Blaster components, would it not make sense for the weaponsmith profession

to be necessary to provide warheads of differing types for the missiles, or perhaps cores for the blaster assemblies?

The Shipwright would still need to put them together in to assemblies to hang from the starships, but this would encourage

some inter-profession trade.

I know as a weaponsmith, I rely on Master Artisans for Power Conditioners, and Control Units to place into other

weapon components to assemble them.

Which brings up Master Artisans, not all Shipwrights would necessarily be Master Artisans, so wouldnt there be (if I am not

dense, and there are) components they would need from them?

Same could hold true for armor and armorsmiths, although this is a little farther of a stretch.

Just my two cents worth for fostering some trade between the crafters and artisans.

It was argued over in Beta, and at great length. And the Devs seem to feel it's fine as it is, as far as this goes.

Believe me, it would never work. I'm a BE, a crafting profession with little in the way of end products. I have NO sales, because a chef would rather not depend on anybody else. We make a costly component they need, so they usually grind their own alt ... can you really see it being any different for Shipwright after a bit of time, if the parts are major?

HELL NO. I SPEND ENOUGH TIME HANDCRAFTING ITEMS... i don't need to search for a provider of components too.

BESIDES... weaponsmiths and armorsmiths have had their due in the crafting genre.. it's somebody else turn...

I'm sure you wouldn't mind if all the other equipment crafters you use ask for the same treatment then.

Like it or not, shipwright is a ground based profession, and should have the same level of codependence that the other crafting professions have.

Just my opinion though.

"Jedi claims of being "broken" are like saying "But my TV isn't widescreen! It's broken! My TV can't show high-def pictures in 1080i, it can only do 720i! It's broken!" Meanwhile, crafters are saying "We'd really like to have a TV that's larger than 12" and gets more than 4 channels and doesn't constantly lose vertical control", and entertainers are saying "Can we get some color instead of this B&W piece of junk?" And smugglers? We're listening to radio programs of "The Shadow" and "The Abbot and Costello Comedy Hour" and hearing FDR's Fireside Chats. We don't even HAVE a damn TV, much less a broken one or a "broken" one by Jedi standards. I'd LOVE to be as "broken" as they are." - The Legendary Solo4114
