Too bad Droids dont get distroyed in ships. We could then go around and blow up droids purchased from us that way we get repeat business lol.

Don't tease us. Droids dying in space with from some kind of special attack in PvP would be as intense as getting your vehicled trashed after getting stomped in PvP. I would certainly be against having to get a new droid every time you get beat, but I would love to see a counter added so that your droid is permadead after it is targeted and 'killed' 10 or so times. No matter how much you spent on the thing.
You guys are all pretty down on JTL, personally I don't blame you since the devs have let virtually every profession down time and time again. My expectations for JTL is to fly and to fight, at least until exploiters and SOE ruin it and run to WoW. If the devs fail to capitalize on the enourmous possibilites for every profession in space then shame on them. If they fail in this respect, everyone will want to bail, not just us.
In my opinion JTL will be a failureunless the followinghappen:
1) Smugglers get to smuggle - this needs to happen.
2) Jedi DO NOT get some kind of flying bonus that gives them an edge (or anyone for that matter) im looking forward to a fight based strictly on skill and the qualities of the ship you put together for yourself.
3) Droids are used to enhance the quality of the ship you fly. These droids are made 100% by a DE. I don't give a flying flapjack if a shipwright needs to install it.
4) Stats on everything for ships are capped somewhere - so that ships can be made only SO uber. If not, space will be ruled by the powergamerflying uber ships from hell, in which flying skill doesnt matter.
5) Ships aren't properly balanced across types. I don't mind an adv. TIE beating up on a headhunter, but an X-Wing had better be an even match.
