Thread: Shipwright Shop Ideas
While this will works for lower Tiers it does not not work for higher ones for two reasons. First, the pilot is usually giving up a chassis to move up and has alot of the parts he needs. Second all armor is pretty much the same. Ships on the other hand, contain a great deal of variation and pilots have different styles. This affects how they equip their ships and they are constanly comparing components to tweak it just so. I remember a pilot that thought I was nuts because I put a RE'd level 1 reactor in his JSF. It had 12.5k gen and was light as a feather. It allowed me to place 2 Mark IV blasters and good engines and shields.
Before that the dual mounts are better as is the DL's smaller hitbox and overall size.
Anyways, I and a few known shipwrights on Radiant have done this. Mostly we get UNhappy customers...saying, why did we include a missile launcher? I chucked this out and I went to another SW and got better armor then you sold me! This has generally either required a lot of explaining on how to set up their ships, or just a loss of a customer (and we all know how that feels...)
Doesn't work for us, but nifty idea. If armorsmiths had 20 different iterations of a bracer, and could sub it for better leggings, would you be happy with a pot luck Armor in a bag?
You would have to be a very trusting soul to pay what I charge for a fully equipped Master ship in a bag, sight unseen. Let's see 750k for the ship 150k per Mark V component.... Heck, that adds up to some real money. lol Don't think I would spend that much on a bag of unknown components. Might end up with a Dunelizard will Mark II equipment.

Fortunately on my server people trust in my business. Most have shopped with me since I created my Shop name back when I sold what I mined with my BER 1 and 2 Extractors. The same goes for all other business people on the Crafting forums, When people shop Vuduu, MTO Armor, BioTech, LEGENDARY, Reddawn, etc etc on my server, They know each of those crafters stands by their products and what they place in their bags.
Don't get me wrong, I have seen and experience crafters that are not so honest. The community seems to take care of those people swiftly.
