Neinnumb I agree with you in that- I hope the SE will not be restricted to just a cockpit view. I have been hammering on this fora while. I'll go one stepfurther depending on the ship if its big enough lets have some windows you can look out of to view space to get the feel you are in outer space. If there are space stations there should be windows also. Walking around in ships sounds feasible. The question is how will itbe done. If the Corvette dungeon is any indication- then maybe we will be able to walk around in our own ships. Of course X Wings and Ties pilot will have no where to walk.

Also with regards to a release time..I would like to say Im optimistic that that it will release at the end of the summer or early fall because another team is working on it which is a plus, but in this industry products seldom release on time for various reasons so I would not be surprised if I pick up the title during the winterseason. Thats being a little realistic. Guess we'll see. Really we wont have any idea of course until we here it from SOE.

One area I hope the teams explores but i dont see it happening is the ability to mine for resources in outer space using mining vehicles as well as individuals in outspace mining whilst wearing a spacesuit.

Bah..after the reading the state of the game letter it looks like the expansion will not be out until this fall or possibly later. Is that everyone else's take on that letter? I guess it depends on the frequency of when a new publish comes out. From the letter it sounds like SE wont be available until after publish 11. Publish hasnt even come out yet.

I have no problem even waiting until Xmas till SE comes out. Why? because I want the core game to be as fixed as possible. There are still many professions that need fixing and I would hate the SE take precedence over the current profession fixes. They've already said they are going to "blow the doors off" of the SE (meaning they will start uncoveringthe details)during the next E3 Expo, so we'll definately have allot to talk about then.

Allot of people have visions of living in space (not just sitting in a cockpit). I really hope that is true, where you can walk around your ship (if its big enough of coarse) and host parties in it, etc. If SE is just a view of space from the cockpit,then I'll be very disappointed.

I dont think thats acutally going to be the cover. It usually changes multiple times.

Who knows if it was said....so many pages.

I think Smuggler and BH atleast should have innate piloting skills. If there is to be a pilot profession, some exisiting should be average at flight atleast...to be a professional and be certified on better ships then one might need pilot prof.

Eh?

Well then.
