Just to further play on the GCW and specific Rebel and Imperial terminals (and maybe also a way to make Smuggler more interesting and fun to play)...
These terminals will give scant details about upcoming player-event raids from the opposite factionon cities and POIs and the like, and the only people who can get at that sort of infromation is Smugglers who slice them. The better the slicer, the more specific the info is. Neutral smugglers can get at both andsell the info to either side and it would make for an interesting perspective to reamaining neutral, and perhaps add Jabba missions where Jabba is looking to get info to avoid Imperial scrutiny in his smuggling operation.
Maybe a smuggler getsTEF'd if noticed slicing, or somethin' like that, but it would be cool to add some danger to bein' a smuggler and advance interest in the GCW and gives a place to certain professions...
This likely isn't possible unitl a revamp of the GCW occurs, and it would involve considerable DEV support, but think of the opportuinites and Star Wars feeling that could be added with such a simple addition. Maybe players can post their own info about raids they plan to conduct and test their encyption against other smugglers.... player driven content at its finest...
I'd like to hear more on this idea from fellow players.... let me know what y'all think

I remember Earth & Beyond had a computer terminal that you'd click on in-game and it would bring up a list of events and such. If that's what you're talking about, or something like it, yes SWG needs one. A Holo-Net service would be awsome.

Yeah that´s exactly what i´m talking about...i also know these newsboards from EVE Online or Jumpgate. It adds soo much content in my opinion because it gives you the feeling that something is happening around you all the time. Even if it´s just virtual news about something or some place you never see in the game (like political news or science news) it still improves the atmosphere i think! 
Oh and a lot of you post very interesting additions to this idea...keep up the good work!

What I would really like to see is that all NPC's aren't stupid clueless clones of one another. It would be nice that you may talk to one of the hundreds of NPC's and he would say, oh do you know NPCNAMEHERE, well if so, then do BLAHBLAH. Couldn't make it static because system would just get posted right away. Maybe make random spawns in cities or the wild.
In all fairness, there are a FEW NPC quests that require previous NPC quest completion, but only 1 level of branching, and not really any continuous Star Wars(TM) storyline.
The Matrix Online looks really cool, but as this is my first MMORG I can't fathom sinking that much time and energy into another virtual universe. We'll see

TH had actually announced plans for something along the lines of a newspaper for the future.

Don't wanna see this one die yet...
Also, I'd like to hear more ideas closer to the ones that make these termianls make player oriented and have the possbility to add content (see previous post)... Albeit, the newspaper idea is a good one, but would get old for the verteran player and some people would justs consider it in game spam.... Have the terminals have a muti-purpose....
