2 choices really.
- Use all your availible lots to harvest steel and buy the inert petro, low grade ore and aluminum (tend to be cheaper).
- Grind z95s and double up on your steel harvesters.
I use the 2nd method. So I have 2 steel harvesters running and 1 of the remaining 3 resources. -2for a house/shop and that leaves 3 open lots that I'm using to collect 'special' resources. Aka non-grinding resources for post-grinding.

Right now i have 3 heavy harvestorsworking for me,but the "Building is not permitted here" glitch is impeding my harvesting. Thx for advice i'm going to try just building the basic ships, btw how much xp does a heavy class ship offer?

the xp rate is always 1xp/4u. or 1experiance point for every 4 units of material used. doesn't matter what you make.

its 2xp/1unit of material for everything else...
maybe shipwright is different... since you go through soo many resources making stuff, they dont want it to be like architect...
*shrug* i dont know...

SW is pretty fixed at .25xp. Most professions are 2xp. Chef has a few at 4xp (and you can even eat them and get 6xp.
There are a few anomolies, some are probably bugs but low priority.
I'd not recommend doing z-95's. they are very very difficult to sell. But you can probably sell some dunelizards or Y-wings. Even tho you may have to cut the price a bit to compete.

I guess it was meant for using practice ... what I would suggest anyway until you hit 4xxx of you have the money for this. This way you can sell good quality when you start your shop and it is faster.
If you need the money better craft tier 1-4 ships, they have a least a chance to sell even at very low quality.

If you need money, ignore the ship chassis and go xxx4 first. Missiles, chaff and launchers are better sellers and the variation between master level damage/charges and such aren't large enough to matter if the price is good. Also less resource intensive so you canmake more to sell.

2xp/unit isn't a hard and fast rule. It isn't close to being a rule. It seem rather chaotic how the XP is granted. Some items are .25 XP/U, some as high as 3.33 xp/u!
