Shipwright Archive

Just curious about the master box shipwright xp requirement. Wasn't too long ago that they nerfed the master box for all professions and now every profession gets the master box for free. Why? I mean, when an architect gets 4/4/4/4 they immediately can train the master box for free. Well, free being that there is no xp requirement at all. But a shipwright needs to spend not only the 10k, not only the 200,000 xp, but also the 320,000 steel, 160,000 ore, 80,000 iron, 80,000 aluminium, 80,000 fiberplast and 80,000 inert petro. Mind you, if you add up the cost just for the master box for shipwright, it's more in credit costs just for that one box, worth more in value, than *any* other professions boxes combined that exist in the game, including master jedi. Why? Why not require Jedi to be master shipwrights? hehe, think about it, every box from novice marksman to all the boxes up to and including master rifleman are *dead easy* and near worthless compared to just the master shipwright box alone.

Am I the only one that has noticed shipwright still having an xp requirement when all others have been removed? I mean, obviously a master architect has no complaint to make, since they had to spend app xp. I have 1240 app xp but i have no way to spend it, thank you very much.

I could understand if Master Shipwright was the same thing as Master Jedi, and that there was so many people flying in space that Coronet, Theed, Eisley, etc, all looked like ghost towns 24/7 cause nobody ever wanted to play on the ground anymore......... but come on, hehe, often I can fly through any space sector in the game and never see another player, hitting the L key the entire time trying to target any other players. But face it, while all other professions were given the "reward" for free training, shipwrights are still being "punished" for idiotic xp requirements that in the end, only helps to kill off an already dying profession.

That's a really good question. I'm thinking that all the other professions will end up requiring XP to master also, but for whatever reason the Shipwrights & Pilots lucked out and got it early.

Actually, the 7.5 million xp is not required for pilot if you can do the "kill 30 enemy fighters" mission followed by the "kill the enemy corellian class corvette" mission. Soon as you know those 2 out, you are master pilot. So I guess the xp is possibly an optional/alternate method?
