Once JTL comes out I believe everyone will just take the GCW into space, and the ground war will dry up, I think the Devs and SOE know this why the think the Combat Balance won't be a big issue once JTL comes out, nobody will be doing any planet fighting to care.
Only thing I can see causing a big stir is if SOE listens to some of the "special jedi powers in space" petitions I see already pop up on the Jedi boards..
Which I dont agree in one bit and I hope the DEVs keep their stance on it. It is unfair to give a proffession an advantage in an FPS game. How many of you play unreal? Now what if they slowed down your turning speed so that the other guy was faster than you? I would think it would make you mad just a little bit. Space is supposed to be a mixture of piloting skill and managing your ship. (ie using your droid etc) It is not supposed to be who has force powers and who doesnt.
I do agree that the DEVs know how fickle the people are. Once the player base sees their new ships and new combat and get a breath of fresh air with a new play style (FPS), then the majority of them with forget about their ground problems. If they are smart they will use this to their advantage by turning their attention to the CR while no one is looking and then get the ground fixed. However, I have a feeling that they are not going to devote 100% of their team to the CR considering the players will want new stuff for space as well. And that requires programing time and more man-power.
