Just wanting to point out an update on this topic
you dont have to be Smugglers Alliance to land at the starport at jabbas
1. you only have to have positive Jabba faction
2. you can only land there by being at the tatooine landing station in space.
thats it..
you dont have to have completed his themepark or be a part of an alliance.. although doing each of those gives you + jabba faction.
just my .02 cents

If crowding is the problem, just don't use Kad. I use Narmle, seems just as good to me.

Its not about crowding, its about Star Wars and the fact that Jabba's is the best place to have this kind of system in place. We are scum after all, and you should be able to find the best scum at Jabba's fortress. Why would Boba Fett hang out there if this wasn't the case.

I like this idea too. Alas, it makes too much sense and therefore will never be implemented.

I like running my missions from Dearic. The terminal and spynet op are right next to each other, about 100m from the starport, and right next to a city exit to grab your mission. You can literally land at Dearic, grab your mission, get a bio scan, and send out your arakyd in less than a minute. It's the best place I've found to run, and it's usually deserted if lag is your issue, you won't find any there.
I need Kadaraa because of the AFK Doctors there (God bless them wihtout them we would get zero buffs on our server).

This would be a good idea if BH's were hunting smugglers. Unfortunately, in this game, there are no Han Solo-like characters for BH's to hunt nor any reason to do so if there were. Smugglers are merely glorified drug-crafters with a few random combat thrown in.
According to the warped mythology Sony has invented for this game, BH's are being hired by the Empire in order to hunt both Jedi and something that Sony has invented and decided to call "dark" Jedi to play a Sith-like role in the game (though there was never a "dark" Jedi in the movies and the term is an oxymoron). There isn't any basis in the Star Wars mythology for Jedi to be hunted by BH's, something that didn't occur in any of the six movies. The dynamic that exists in the game has nothing to do with Star Wars and was simply a programming choice that was made early in the development of the game to keep a cap on the Jedi population when permadeath was still in use.
I would love to see this game actually take some inspiration from the movies rather then be a corrupt abomination of the original material. After two years, it's fairly clear that SOE has no clear direction or vision for developing this Star Wars themed 3D chatroom that is occassionally used as a game.

Don't care how cluttered Jabba's would be. Jabba's would be so much more Star Warsy. Anyway, Kadaara is really crowded to the point of being un-fun anyways.
Face it, initially Jabba's would be cool only because of a change of scenery. Afterwards, its the same ole... pick mission....run to informant...hunt... repeat

It's just as much Lucas Artswho are atfault, buddy. Probably more so.

I could care less who's fault it is. While I do find fun things to do ingame, I agree with Archeron5. It did not have to be like this. Star Wars has enough appeal on its own.
