The Master Architect
 
Hey everyone! Thanks for all your patience regarding the Expert Research tier(s) of the Architect. After delving further into the technical issues of the Research system and the Architect in particular, we decided the best course of action would be a complete restructure of the end-game Architect, now renamed as Master Architect. Here’s an outline of what’s coming!
 
 
No More Prototypes
Instead of crafting Prototype versions of items with one-time use schematics, the Architect will use consumable schematics to learn recipes, much like the new Master Weaponsmith, Armorer, Outfitter, and Tailor. These “Blueprints” can be purchased from vendors in the capital cities with crafting vouchers (which are still earned by completing daily Work Orders). Once a Blueprint is consumed, the base schematic is permanently unlocked for that character. You’ll still have to discover any variants as usual.
 
Tech Tree Consolidation
The Housing and Warplot trees have been combined into a single tier. Any progress you’ve made will be retained, and the craft counts for each node are still the same. The Prototype achievements within the old trees have been removed, since Prototypes don’t exist anymore.
 
Additional Titles
We’ve added the “Civic Architect” and “Military Architect” titles, signifying that you have completed all Housing and Warplot crafts, respectively.
 
New Décor
As an added bonus, we’ve added a new piece of housing décor!  The Protostar Hatchery, as well as its 2 variants, will be available as the last (and most expensive) Housing craft.
 
 
These changes are pretty significant, and require plenty of testing before we can send them out into the wild.  Once we’ve verified that everything is working as it should, you’ll be able to test these changes yourself on the PTR.  As always, let us know what you think right here on the forums!

Protostar Hatchery?! PICS PLZ!
 
I'm really glad Architect is getting the attention it needs. Good luck!	
----
			Well thank you very much...these sound good and once on the test will try to help out testing this	
----
			Finally some love for Architects!	
----
			Can you give us an order-of-magnitude guess as to how many crafting vouchers per recipe?	
----
			If it's same as other crafts, 1500 - 24000 vouchers?	
----
			
1 new recipe? Any idea if there will ever be more than that?
 
I don't know...like curtains, cushions, rugs, different walls and floors, doors, things for upcoming neighborhoods...
 
The possibilities are endless.	
----
			Any update for this... beacause prototype plan still here and still unusable, and extra expert trees craft can't be done (draken mailbox for exemple) :(

			For the love of all holy gods! How did this not make it into this morning's patch?!? It's been fixed on the test server for a week!	
----
			So i switch my Architect to Chemistry and relics... 30po... thank you Carabine, please credit my account back for 30po..; And you know what..; Chemistry implant and shield not implanted right now, so high end crafting still bug and stuck... :/	
----
			Can we get an ETA on a fix? I'd really like to unlock the new Hatchery, and the rest of the warplot stuff.	
----
			Nevermind I see I can unlock these now, I don't' know why I thought I couldn't!
