Any word yet on that IGN interview?

No decay + uber loot = /spit on crafters

Fix the economy and give crafters their $$$ worth... give us real revamp.

Remember... to Cancel you have to go to Register Expansion in the Launchpad.

Czar Tim -

Betting is currently in the game but there is no Sabbac. I completely avoid betting..Dont want to take a chance andthrow away whatI have earned. If Sabbac were added I would definitely check it out. There should be a visual picture of what the card represent and not just words saying you drew this card or that card.

Pilot profession is likely to be added. I think it is a no brainer although it has not been confirmed.

Ship variety...O heck yeah I hope there will be a good variey of ships available to players and not justa handful. I also hope the sizes willvary from the small to large. Large as inmaybe twice the size of theMill. Falcon. Would you consider the Falcon a medium sized ship? Anyone?

The Droidman-

Bespine would be awesome !!!

QuiJonOz-

Haven't heard about the IGN interview. Toview the interview you musthave a suscribtion to IGN. If anyone here has a suscription, it would be nice if they could check out the recent SWG interview to see if there isany new info. on expansion.

Its a video interview also.

Ahem! Dreadnaughts are imperial. And the player ships like cities wouldn't work at all.20 crew members and suddenly your ship is twice as large as if by magic. And I just remembered to post that old profession will NOT be changed. We will get new professions and skill points. If it were not set up this way then the expansion would be worthless as a product because people woud already be able to fly their ships just from the original game. Sorry if I broke and illusions out there.

"Ahem! Dreadnaughts are imperial."

Techinically they're Republic vessels. During this time-frame they're relatively outdated, and nearly obsolete. Hence you see a great variety of factions using them. Think of how the Soviet Union sells off it's old military equipment and you basically have what is done with the Dreadnaught.

I'm guessing that the largest player-operated vessel is probably going to be thevariation ofthe Corvette myself (Correlian, Modified, Maurader, etc.)

Hmm, on another path of thinking, I wonder how the SE will handle jedi. Will they get special jedi SE skills that enhance piloting abilities by increasing accuracy? Will it just be set up so they can get SE skills without loosing them and pilot vehilces like any normal person? Will they rack up deaths on the death counter from dying in space?

i think compared to what we will be able to get in the game MF will be middum, and as for the gambiling no not really, a chance cube an uninsured bet (meaning if they lose they can just not pay up) and the fact that its crappily done mabey gambler could be onw of the new proffesions. as for them not changin the current proff. wut i ment is that if a bh,smugler,sl got SE they should have the abbility to fly mabey if ur like master or somthing.

I have a very bad feeling about the space expansion. We haven't heard much about it. And quite frankly nothing in past development of this game gives me confidence that the SWG:SE will be anything close to what we want it to be. My guess is that it will be something like Earth and Beyond:

1). You won't see any player ships on the ground (too much lag) and no where to land all the ships.

2). No multiple players in a single moving ship. Heck, I still can't sit on a chair without sliding off because the game can't keep track of where I am very accurately.

3). Ships can be tweaked but only by numbers, like weapons or armor now. No outward graphical modification except for maybe a color skin.

4). Limited interior modification--keeping track of all the moving decorations will be a strain on SWG's weak database.

Hey, I'm just trying to downplay everyone's expectations. I know I'm not expecting much--that leaves room to be pleasantly surprised anyway.

hmmmm. maybe theu'll get the ability to pilot jedi ships.........nah. though that would be relly really cool. BUt they prolly will have enhanced skills, but still have to master pilot befor ethey really are noticable.

I remember seeing a post where Devs say the Pilot Profession will have it's own set of skill pts to use. Meaning that you can keep all the current professions you have, and train to be a pilot. Regular Professions use skill pts where Pilots would use space skill pts or something like that.... My question is, will Jedi's have access to these space skill pts? Should they? Or will the Devs decide to stick with the rule that Jedi's cannottrain inany other non-jedi professions?

I think they should, I mean, look at Obi evading Jango in Episode II.

We havent heard anything about Expansion..someone mentioned. Sometimes when you dont hear anything thing thats a good sign. If they are being tight liiped about everything until E3 that may be an indication that that they have big plans. Guess we'll see.

Pilot profession will be a given. Think I said said about 3 times already.

Jedi's piloting. Come on now. You know Jedi will be able to pilot.

LAG is BIG ISSUE currently associated with this game. I am in complete agreement there. I think players will ultimately be able to land somewhere. I say this because all they have to do is use static models just like they are using with current shuttles. Just substitute the current ship w/ the players ship. Simple enough.Dont know about interiors though.

or what about being able to use the ships liek a house! You know, decorate the interior, maybe set up vendors? something awesome like that! and you could have multiple people live on a ship or something awesome like that.

Yeah! They could take the house graphics, and make a new thing that looked like a ship!

It'd work just like... a house! Except that... you'd have to wait 10 minutes to get a shuttle to it! And... and you could even put empty vendors in it an' stuff! It'd be... so much fun!

Well, I'm convinced. When do I get to send SOE $49.99 for a box, and can I spend an extra $15/month to combine 4912 Hull Plates to get to Hull Plating I, and 2512 ADV Hull Plates to get to Deflector Shields II, whereupon I can grind out 2381 Deflector Arrays to become a Master Shipbuilder?
