Also, remember that entertainer buffs increase XP gain 
I wish we could use excess SW experience to buy stuff, kinda like faction points.

Don't fix this.........Shipwright should be hard to get, andthat necessitatesa lot of crafting. All of us already met that standard, so SOE please don't compromise to a lower requirement.
Who ever heard of a person becoming a master jet-fighter or 747 engineer without a phenomenal investment of time, money, and resources?

Considering how much xp you get for grinding ship chassis, 200k goes quick. I think it's fine the way it is.

SW was by far the easiet grind of any of the professions I have done. As long as you have the resources, its cake. Nowadays you can buy grinding resources for less than 1cpu so getting the cash to buy the resources isnt even that difficult.

OK... Am I missing something here? When did Shipwrights become a combat profession?
I see all the combat professions have a new 1 or 2 million xp to get master, but Shipwright is a frickingCRAFTING profession.
I don't see Artisans or Droid Engineers requiring 200k xp to get master... I dont see Chefs or Entertainer Profs requiring xp...
So I ask WHY!!!!!!! Shipwright has a long hard grind as it is.
The addition of this bogues 200k is just another reason for people to leave the game.
PLEASE *On knees begging* PLEASE fix this and get rid of this 200k.

Shipwright is by far the easiest profession to grind *if* you have the resources.
Resource gathering sucks, but at least the stuff you make is useful al the way through and you are not stuck grinding out junk.
I did the actual crafting grind in about 1.5 hours, without a marco. The only real time consumption is the mining.

In my day, we had to grind everything by hand, up hill both ways, in a snowstorm! Forget grinding chassis! We ground Mark 1 blaster, and we liked it!

I wouldn't complain about it if I were you, making chassis takes up more resources but you get a lot more XP out of em, it cost me 12 mil to grind SW without harvesters of my own. 200k is nothing, I have millions of SW XP banked that I wish I could use on something.

yea, simple grind, assuming you have the resources ready, 0 to master in under an hour, no problem.

Chill out.
You get an insane amount of XP for crafting Starships based upon the amount of resources that go into those schematics.
If you have a large enough pile of resources available, you can get that 200k in under an hour.
Show me another profession that can fill its master box in under an hour, from start to finish?

It is my opinion that Shipwright was the first profession that the devs designed after making a decision that AP wasn't working as intended. Thus, they scrapped the AP requirement for shipwright and replaced it with an XP requirement. It wasn't too much later the devs scrapped AP altogether. I would expect similar changes to the rest of the crafting professions as the devs continue revamping the game.

Whatever you did the grind on, it can't have been chassis. SW is FAR from being a long hard grind. As others have said, it's got to be the easiest & quickest crafting prof to grind, only downside being the amount of resources required. On practise mode you are talking what, 107'ish combines from Novice to Master.
