Nice screenshots there, but the only real piece of information given was that ships will reside in your datapad and you call them out in a starport.

Too bad... wouldn't mind taking off and landing from my house.

Well, you could do like this one guy in City of Heroes last night.

In Broadcast he was offering to sell a Krayt CDEF Rifle.

Don't know if he got many takers though.

I wonder if they'll include stuff like Z95s...

Well, here's hoping for 3d interiors.

Don't know about interiors, but there's a Z-95 with some friggin' huge engines here.

This may or may not have been mentioned in the article, I only skimmed it... But I sort-of think that ships should only be buildeable if they belong to your faction. Of course, there should also be a set of neutral ships... But still, an active imperial crafter making and selling an X-Wing fighter to an equally active rebel would be somewhat silly.

Just my two cents...

Moo.

Now I'm glad I had Keina Galford get the Master Artisan title first. Looks like she'll be crafting ships for the Avatars (and I'll get a really large headache as it'll probably take a large number of components, similar to Droid construction...)

Betting it will need componets from other crafters too. Like I can easilly see that They might have to have a Navi-Computer that would be crafted by a DE.

As long as they don't do what they did for vehicles - no components, just two large lumps of metal.

Hehehehehe.... well, Keina IS training to be a DE (currenty 3/3/3/3). She may also drop the Cabineer profession so she can take on the shipbuilding professoin (meaning no combat for her). I'm hoping that there will be things like a fuel limit instead of the thing decaying *gonna need more wind generators or something like that*, a fee for docking at the starports, and hopefully the ability to take passengers with you on the ships (maybe a few of them manning the gun turrets maybe?)

Since Keina is neutral, I hope we get the chance to build.. um...

*whisper* what kind of ship is the Millenium Falcon again?

I thought Mort might like it.

As for me, time to start saving faction points for "Space expansion faction perks"... can we say... X-Wing?

I wonder what rank we'll need to have... I can't imagine all those TIE and X-wing pilots were officers... heck... one of them was a Novice Farmer from Tatooine!

I'm a Colonel in the Imperial Army, but I can see them implementing a ranking system for the Imperial Navy too.

It'd be odd for a ground-based Colonel to requisition a personal fighter, based on his rank which means very little in space.
