I would absolutely love to run such a tuning shop in the game.
That was one aspect of SWG that i very much loved and which still makes SWG one of the most memorable games i ever played. And yes, I was one of the best crafters on my server. One cannot QUITE do the same in SC because of design choices, but any mechanic that would allow one to make a name for oneself as a crafter is something i would very much look forward to.
Does it shift the balance of power for PvP players so they suddenly have to talk to crafter players ? Yes.
Does it lead to not every piece of item being exactly the same with the same stats ? Yes. Hurray ! ;-)
Would there be a problem when player crafter population shrinks like it was in SWG ? No. (No seperated servers in SC - meaning there will always be enough hard core crafters for many years to come; 90 % of economy is NPC - meaning there will always be enough equipment of all power levels; no NGE done by stupid devs driving away 80 % of the player base because WoW launched).

Have fun
This.
..Cake..
EPIC
hey you got your question answered, nice one!
Yes that is pretty cool, following most of the QAs I've discovered a lot of stuff that reminds of SWG,
I kinda view SC as Jump to Lightspeed 2 + SWG ground extension + Mass Effect.
That's what the game really is
