Ah yes... thehi-frequency whineof Twin Ion Engines humming in my ears...


Thehum of the repulsorlift engines vibrating my spine...


The sound of screaming Rebel Terrorists asthe Red_Cobra's T/Idives onunsuspecting X-Wings with the sun at it's back...


The sight of the "perfect firing position" on an enemy "six"...


The pounding of quad Lasers chewing into the engine mounts of Rebel Craft.



/sigh


These are the simple things that make life so satisfying.

- Account: Master TKA (cancelled)

Total loss of annual revenue (SOE): ~$715US to ~$900US
- Bad press: Priceless
Should Sony and Lucas Arts be worried? (15000 users * 5 accts = ~$13MIL in potential lost gross annual revenue) If I were the CEO for either LA or SOE, I would certainly be worried.

All I have to say is it better have multi-person capital ships to command and a lot more intelligence poured into it than some other things that have gone on round here.


I'm telling you, there is no feeling greater than captaining a corvette, issuing orders to gun crews, plotting courses, outmaneuvering enemy capital ships so as to blast large holes in their sides, maybe even launching docked fighters. I'm wondering if SWG will live up to any of my hopes here.

All he is going to say is that they are timing the release of the Space Expansion to coincide with the release of World of Warcraft so as to keep as many as possible from switching sides.

The only capital ships will be NPC Controlled.


The carefully crafted answer and question session that always take place on these butt-kissing "reviews" sites left outsome important questions:


What transport ships will players be able to own? Just how much are you focusing on Fighters?


Will people with transports be able to haul passengers and freight? Will hauling freight be something that is supported by any in-game system? Can the passengers walk around inside the ship?


Will Player Cities be given any option to install "Landing Bays" or can the ships only be launched from NPC City Starports?


------------


I am glad that they answered a coupleHUGE questions though:


Will ships be crafted by players? YES!


Will ships be "upgradable"? YES!


------------


Oh well, I always want more information than they are willing to share.
