This is an incredibly stupid idea, why apply xp from a twitch based aspect of the game to the ground so people can be jedi even faster! Getting jedi or just FS XP is easier now with hunting groups, why in the hell should it be made even easier? If you want to become a jedi , get your xp on the ground like all the others did, leave space alone.

this is rediculous.Three reasons this will never happen.


1. space and ground are seperate and the devs have mention more than once that they want to keep it this way.


2. Pilot doesn't cost any skill points.


3. I can easily make close to 2 mil pestige in about 2 hours. Even at 50:1 that is 400k fsxp. So I can completely fill a branch in about10 hours of playing time.


Bottom line is that if you want to be a jedi you have to put in the ground time.

NO! Keep your wannabe Jedi dweebasses on the ground and AFK where you belong. I'd sooner see the entire Pilot profession turned into a zero xp, quest it from top to bottom profession chocked full of four hour endless spawn escort missions under firethan suffer the presence of you poonjob spawn campers underfoot.


You think I'm the lone voice in the wilderness? Bring this post to the Pilot forum. If you last longer than a page before you come wimpering back here with your tail between your legs, I'll be MILDLY impressed.


Aurillia is enough of a Jedi Factory without adding the dazzlingly easy to aquire Pilot xp in the mix.

Please keep the l33t kiddies of out space,thanks.


Or ok, I'll bite. But make it so that only Prestige points earned in DeepSpace can convert.

God no... pilot should cost skill points just like the other basic professions (15pts for novice... etc.) I bet all these. 733t j33d3y3 d00dz would stay out of space then.

I already /signed



But i'm gonna /sign again because this is an awesome idea. Starfighter Piloting and Pilot Prestige xp should be convertible to FS combat or FS reflex XP. It just plain makes sense, plus there's absolutely no use for prestige xp except for getting you into deep space and that's only 30k a pop. Hell, you kill 4 fighters in there and you return your investment.



Hey devs! Show the pilots some love!








you mean "Hey devs! Cater to the whining wannabes"



Us Pilots don't want FS grinders in space.


Ask this on the pilot forum and see what kind of reception you get.

Totally agree with other posters - I may play JTL for a reason other than travelling to Kashyyk if this were the case.

NO.

Reasons:

1.) Pilot is free, and doesnt cost any skillpoints. You don't make no sacrafices on your ground professions at all. FP conversion from pilot is like getting something, for nothing. This is morally objectionable.

2.) Pilot has absolutey nothing to do with the ground. Jedi is a ground profession, not a space profession. Why should any ground profession (sans shipwright) have anything to do with pilot?

3.) Too exploitable via master pilot bonus, and XP gains in space are disportionatly larger then the ground game. Any conversion would speed up the number of jedi on any given server entirely too fast.

4.)The real reason why ppl ask for conversion. Shady motives. They want the quick and easy path to the glowbat. They want their jedi, but not have too work hard for it. If space wasnt quick and easy (see point 3) this woudlnt be an issue at all.

Better one for ya. Make it so you only earn Prestige while Overt or in Deep Space. Gate the little buggers into the hands of the natives.

SSSHHHHHHH, quite before they hear you.


Just go camp the load point and revel in the whine of exploding jedi wannabe's.


It'll be like the satisfaction of killing a Padawan AFK on the Ryyat Trail without all the work.

Been covered either here, here, here, here, here and here.

So in a word?
NO!



If a poisonous snake is dropped on top of you from a gyrocopter, don’t freak out and shoot your own driver with your arrow gun, making the vehicle lose control and blow up. Its probably just as scared as you are.
