what the hell is going on with shipwright factories... do they really expect us to sit for hours and hours crafting stuff? for example i put some subcompenets into a factory.. about 200+ so now i got to craft 200 armor plates by hand which i think its insane...
i understand that by preventing us from having a factory they balance out the economy.. but atleast give us something make the time on those factories doble but give us a facotry!

no factories is better for 2 reasons
allows a broad spectrum of componets to fit each individual pilot
second eliminates the "cookie cutter" ship, u know like composite everyones the same, same armor same weapons
this way is more personal with ur customers and adds a lot more individuality to each pilots ships
plus u would need over 100 factories to run every variation possible for all the componets
hand crafting is just fine...slower but fine

Which is the point. Seems the devs do not want us to mass produce the same ship over and over...

No we will not mass produce ships. We will build a mass of ships, but each one will be individually crafted. They will not be a carbon copy of each other. That is the difference.

it is also a good thing since it prevents one person from or a small group combining their lots to corner the market and accumulate billions of credits.
this allows for a far more diverse and interactive crafting experience. factories have been, in a lot of ways, a severe detriment to the game as a whole. my personal take on factories is that they should be allowed to out put subcomponents only and the final finished product for all things should be hand crafted.
a major complaint of crafters is they dont have enough to do in game and all they can do is stock a vendor now and then. the REAL problem is that factories take out just about all interaction with customers.
overall i think that this change with no factories for final products in shipwright is a massively good thing for the game as a whole.
