There is no reason for it NOT to be done IMO.
Actually, there is. One of the points to having only ground combat xp be transfered to FS xp is that the end result (jedi) is a ground only profession (not in that they cannot fly, but up there, they are no better than anyone else). How are you going to learn how to survive on the ground (in fact, how are you even going to complete your missions), if you've never spent any time in a proper combat profession?
The case that someone would spend his entire time in space and getting Jedi would be pretty rare in my opinion.
Even if someone starts with JtL, enjoys space etc., sooner or later he will be on the ground doing a mission, placing a house, gettings settled, travelling around.. and fighting on the ground.
Even if someone would get Jedi by only converting prestige points and never been fighting anything on ground, it would be his problem, bad strategy. But that wouldn't be a balance issue or game breaking. And it's not like you have to learn a few months to become proficient in ground combat...
We don't want Jedi skills in space, that would be against the concept of JtL combat. But it would be nice if we'd just get another way to get tiny steps closer to Jedi. In my opinion the more ways/choices are in a MMORPG, the better and more interesting it is.

No you cant convert Pilot (or Shipwright for that matter) xp into any force xp
No one ever asked if you could or not. We all already know you can't.
The point of this thread is, "Gee, wouldn't it be nice if you could?"
Thanks for answering a question that was never asked, though....
Ok then how about this....
Because it would be unfair to those that did not have JTL (since that seems to be comment of the moment regarding the 75K cash payout to JTL players)
No, it would only be unfair to all the non-JTL people if space became the ONLY way for people to get fs xp.
The JTL player pays $30 more than the non-JTL player for software. Therefore, the JTL player gets more benefits.
Next you'll be saying how unfairit is that non-JTL people still have to pay for shuttles, while JTL players don't.
And as for that 75k credits....that's an insignificant amount of money, and it's just one more thing that people who like to complain like to complain about.
People seem to forget that SWG isnothing more than amoney making venture launched by SOE and Lucas Arts. Therefore, they're going to do everything they can to increase revenue in the real world. I'm not going to argue that they did it stupidly in this case (75k...who cares?). But expect all kinds of stuff like this in the future. If and when the next expansion comes out, they'll do the same thing there as well....give gifts to people who buy it and no one else.
