I understand that when you are building a space craft, you should make it lighter as possible. Now, in the SWG, I am two weeks old SW crafter. My question is: when you are crafting a chassis ( say A-wing) and then experimenting on the mass and you get great success, should the mass increase or decrease? Mine was increased. Why is that? is this the way it suppose to be or am I doing something wrong?

increase is good. That's how much it can hold in weight on components.

Very important except for maybe the POB ships. They have 5 million mass

thanks for the inputs. when you are crafting other parts, do you want the masss to increase also or this apply to chassis since it holds others? I would think you want components lighter. In RL the lighter the craft the more agil it is, assuming the equal performance components. Does this apply here too or components performance are better with higher mass?

Ship mass you want as High as possible.

Component mass you want as low as possible so you can get more and better equipment in your ship.

The mass stat in the chassis is how much "weight" the ship can bear. The higher the better. Experimenting here will increase the mass.

The mass stat from the components is the actual "weight" of the components, so the lower the better. Experimenting here will decrease the mass.

The sum of the mass of all components in a ship cannot be greater than the mass of the ship chassis.
