Well i hit master shipwright with my tc tune to check out the cool new JTL stuff in beta at the moment and here's some info i got...
- Both mining ship components and all the MP ship components require one or more space asteroid resources to build. Which is cool with me, just wish you could gather them in beta atm. hehehe
- The new light hutt fighter is level 35 complexity and seems to take a little more resources then the kimo. It also takes some of the new asteroid resources.
- The heavy xwing is NOT currently listed in the crafting list for master shipwright, although the heavy z95 is.
- theres a bunch more textures for a handful of ships. awing, xwing, bwing, arc 170, etc.
- the mining ship is called the y-8 and it is not listed in the craft listing for master shipwright, neither is the jedi fighter, grevious's ship, or the arc 170.
Hope that helps ya folks. ill post more as i get em.
We NEED those asteroid resources to see what sort of stats these new components and ships have =)

well if you need space mining resources to make things
then how do you get in space without
I suggest use your 30k free resource kits on tc for you have lot of stuff then

From what i'm reading. To make some of the betterequipment you'll need space resources. But you'll be able to make stuff that works using ground resources but not as good.

Sadly this is not the case. The asteroid resource requirements are 'mandatory' and not optional. I dont really mind this, i just wish i had access to some of them so i could test some of the new components out.
Another thing i noticed was that there was no mining laser component listed yet. Its been dev-stated that normal ships will have the option of equipping a mining laser to get space resources But this component hasnt been included yet, unless it like the mining ship itself, is aquired via a quest.

Does that mean that MP ships are getting some love?? That would be awesome

YES.
There are a bunch of new masterlevel WS made components that state MPship only.
I dont remember what there was exactly but I do remember there was a gun, but I believe that there were others.

I really hope they dont make the mining ships quest items only. It sure would suck to have to do some combat quest with a non combat crafting character just to get one.... I'd prefer all the ships to be crafted, but can understand if they want to make one ship per faction a quested ship and the jedi fighter a quested ship for jedi. My fear is they will hand ShipWrights crumbs and dish out the real stuff in quests.

The mining ship schem is almost certainly a quest. Others have found refferences to the quest in the tre files so its a done deal most likely. I also strongly suspect that the jedi fighter, arc 170, grevious ship, the BARC speeder, and the Varactyl (for non pre-order folks) will also be aquired thru quests. Possibly even the Corsec fighter as well. There are refferences to a varactyl egg quest in the tre files but it might be an inanimate furniture reward for doing a quest.
As far as the new MP ship specific stuff goes... There is a new MP ship component for each slot and 3 for guns (railgun, gauss cannon, and null blaster). Theres also 2 Y8 mining ship specific components as well (A reactor and capacitor i believe).

I don't understand Skuzz, if you need asteroid resources to make mining components, and you need mining components to obtain these resources, isn't this a chicken-and-egg problem?

From what I understand, learning how to do space mining is quest based. This means you will probably get some mining components from the quest givers just so you can start mining. From there, you can provide the resources to the shipwrights, and probably get better components from them.
