One question, on what kind of machine is this movie shot on ?? specs ? The surroundings look amazing ! (vehicles as well)
Im asking myself the same question... What the hell are you guys running SWG on that thing looks awesome! I want my SWG to look the same.
Probably on an internal server with a database and player base thousands of times smaller than live.

DEVS: How will you address the issue with houses, mobs, and lairs spawning infront of you. It's pretty bad with burstrun and mounts as it is. I can't imagine how it will be with vehicles. Hopefully the range at which objects are downloaded to the client is extended greatly. Or make it an option for the broadband users?
Geez ... I don't know what problem you are having ... and I hope they ignore your request :-)
Why did you ask? Well ... right now on my mount ... on gallop ... the spawns end up about right on top of me ... and there is a generally a 2 second delay before they aggro ... and by that time I am past them :-)
Supposedly the *slowest* vehichle will go at gallop speed ... which means most of the time the spawn will be *behind* us.
THAT IS A VERY GOOD THING.
Please do *NOT* ask the dev's to spawn stuff further in front of us as we drive along ... I don't want to have to avoid more reds ... I would much rather have them spawn *behind* us ... as in "Oh ... did we just pass a spawn??" instead of "Oh Look, 20 thousand reds on the horizon ... since when did china invade SWG??".
Get the point?
Spawns further in front of us is a baaaad thing ... spawns behind us are a gooood thing :-)
Great job on the vehicles so far, they look GREAT! ..And now finally we approch the end of Beta 4, Vehicles made be Eng. 4 is brilliant, it'll keep the prices down for the rest of us that don't use money dupes, and make artisian worth wild.. well done, keep it here! ..
Player cities, mounts, vehicles, and combat droids .. . long live Starwars (finally) and down with Poke e wars! .. We will finally see more droids than pets (Whooooop!)... This is what was *supposed* to be released, and i'm glad you kept the tenacity to finally pull it off against an impossible schedule. Maybe we can have an "official" launch party once combat droids are released. ... That will be the official end of Beta 4.
Then.. the impossible schedule for the expansion and incorporating it into the current system will begin.
