Hate to say I told ya so!
No it ain't the documents but it is news and the signups for beta.
I observe that the ground is empty. no lag in coronet. With everyone in space (well most everyone.) what balance do they need?and yes I am on the ground. Tried JTL Beta was mildly interested. Might try it later. Will get JTL eventually so I dont have to wait 5 min at starports
-Indene-
definitely get jtl, but it wont make your starport wait any better. It takes longer to fly your own ship to another planet than it does towait for the starport, but it is WAY more fun.

While I know that many of you have been waiting for this to come out, I personally am a little worried what this will do to my fun factor so to speak in SWG. Please hear me out on this and if it seems like I am thinking of myself, I sorta am, but I alone pay for my subscription and therefore the way the game plays for me is what most counts. I do want others to have fun, but I do want to be able to have fun as well.
I am worried this will effect my soloing in this game. I love that I can solo Rancors, Enraged or otherwise. Right now I am working on trying to get a Bull Rancor and a GPS. These are my two must haves since I have become a MCH. If I don't get these by this Combat Upgrade then I don't see me getting one any time in the future afterwards. If Bull Rancors and especially GPS become a groupable kill only, how many groups do you know of will go after these creatures for days at a time? It can take months now to get either of these creatures and if this upgrade goes in can take years if groups simply do not want to go after these rare beasts. This has me worried about this aspect of never getting the 2 creatures I want the most.
I'm pretty sure someone will say well work hard on getting them before that point, but how many months have some of you been looking for a GPS and haven't seen a single baby? I know I look just about everyday in the morning and have only come across 2 spawns myself. Maybe what the Devs have to do is increase the spawn rate of these rare creatures to combat what I forsee happening. Or I do not know what to do.
Am I wrong to think this way? I actually do have fun the way the game is now because it seems to fit the way I play now. I group when I want to and solo most of the time. As far as JTL goes I am unsure of how soloable it is because I have never been above 1/0/0/0. So my opinion is only on the ground game.
So tell me what you all think...
Yeah, the rare hunt thing would be tough if we could not solo, but there is alsono way we should be able to solo rancors, kimogilas, etc. That is just not right. Course, coupled with another combat profession. I would think Ch should be one of the only professions that would have a chance to do so because of the uber pets.

Dantooine is still laggy, but then again I lost my AMD 1700+ and had to pull out the Celeron 1.3 and got knocked down to 512 ram. So I have no real control sample to go by now.
"lost" it? how?

haven't you noticed the "travel" button on the starship management window? It's insta-shuttle, for any ship other than the n00b-flyer

Yep if it was working.
It has never worked, it acts like you are on tatooine and you can only travel to places you can normally get to from tatooine, You are supposed to be able to fly anywhere.
Another bug that made it past beta.

Talon,
It works. Just go down to the menu box on systems, and you can change it to corellia, lok, or naboo. It just presents Tat as the only option when you start.
Adventure world systems (except Lok) can't be "traveled" to; you have to use hyperspace for those. The Sorusuub is supposed to be a non-combat ship; also supposed to be invulnerable, but in beta I got blown out of the sky when I tried the trick of taking the yacht to Dathomir. Last night I was successful in using hyperspace to get to the Dathomir sector, and flying through normal space to the station, but was not attacked at any time, and didn't get too close to the tier 4 and 5 aggro ships that infest the Dath system.
