Well guys/gals... what you take of this?

Not much until we know what it means for timing..."thank you for you patience" never gives me a warm feeling when it feels like a thank you ahead of time more then a thank you for the time already waited...
PS...what you see in the annoucement is everything that the Sandbox testers know as well...we have no info on the expansion...

Personally I think it is bull****. This is most likely the real reason of the delays in the CURB. The fact that they would delay it just to have only one beta is wrong.
I am just stating my opinion. I know nothing more about the delays then you do. But that seems to be a reasonable conclusion.
I kinda feel that as well... I have had both a smuggler and a commando since sept/oct of '03. This is very disheartening that they are stalling again. This seems nothing more than a 'flash/bang' to stall for more dev time.
...Id pay for a complete and utter new Battlefield system that encompasses whole new worlds however...) A lot of old promises could be realized with this expansion pack...and could be why it will seem to have arrived MUCH faster than JTL...
that would be fun

What is getting me is that you guys have no info on the Expansion yet if it is supposed to be tested together like that. What happened to the idea of the Sandbox being very felxible in order to be able to make constant tweaks to the combat system. Seems to me that this is going to really complicate things with testing and the ability to make such on-the-fly adjustments. Maybe I am wrong and they have planned for this, or else they just threw it out the window and decided that they should wait until after Episode III, ride it's wave and throw and expansion out along with the new combat system. Kinda makes it feel as if they are leabing for propoganda and media rather than their anxious playerbase.
*Edit* I could be misinterpeting it, but the feel of that post made it seem that they were going to be put out at the same time, but with the CU free and of course the need to pay for the expansion.
And Garvin... yes God forbid if they make this expansion some kind of Underworld expansion and force smuggler's to pay for the ability to smuggle... again.. and again.

They announced the JTL beta I think the beginning of summer/middle, and started testing early fall.
This could very well be a big expansion (as it should), but the foundations are in place...so it IS logical that it would get out faster...as you're right, the JTL pack added a whole new level.
Hopefully we'll see capital ships in this, and it won't just be all for the land game...we need more connections between space and ground, as well as more fun in space!
All Im worried about is if this affects the CU...it would do SOE more harm than good than forcing you guys to wait even more, when fixes to combat should have been made long ago.
