I noticed in that newsletter that it also said "Look for some big Star Wars Galaxies news in the coming week. " I sure hope it will be a release date, maybe more screenshots, or just more info on the space expansion. Anybody heard anything on that?

Yep, looking good.

Well everyone here is just part of my two cents for the space expansions.

First id like to see alot of new planets. we have so many races that their planets are not represented they have a long way to go. need content? add planets so we can explore more. and add more creatures so that the harest rate is comparable to the size. ie harvesting 87 units off of a gurreck that cant weigh more than 500 lbs. and getting 200 umits off of a krayt dont seem to thought out.

Next for the space componet i think we should all be alowed to visit a ship yard and custom have our ships built. like the kaut drive yards. and it could work out somethng like this.

--- you go in and choose one of say 25 or 30 basic designs for a ship. each shap has advantages and disadvantages. then based on the "chasis" you get to add a basic sized power generator and that will be the basis of how strong your ships can be. added to the ship. just a few ideas for example.

1. small reactor = 1000 power points

2. medium reactor= 3000 power points

3. large reactor = 5000 power points

4. smallsmilitary reactor = 10000 power points

5. med military reactor = 15000 power points

6. large military reactor = 20000 power points and lastly

7 SSD style reactor = 100000 power points

Now after you choose your ship stye and reactor you can now choose your grade of weapons : limited tothe points and slots available on your ships. choices being like armor, shields, weapons, and sub light and light speed drives.

SMUGGLERScan slice all componets to use less energy or increase the output on any given componet.

WEAPONSMITHS make and tweek the weapon and targeting systems.

ARMORSMITHS make the armors for the ships.

DROIDSMITHS/ENGINEERS would make the stardirves and nav systems.

MASTER ARTISIANS would be making the chasis for the ships and other non specialized componets for them.

Now again this involves most of the crafters as it should. here is an example of the outcome.

1. Corellian cargo ship ( mileniom falcon ) 5 weapon slots, houses smallor medium reactors, or small military grade reactor, class three armor, shields or up to five rooms two of which on this ship must be cargo space;.

Cost

Chasis = 1,000,000 credits

Armor class three armor = 1,250,000 credits ( class four being military war grade armor)

Weapons low military class. only legal on private ships

2 turbo cannons = 75,000 credits each ( ilegal on private citizen ships) uses

2 laser cannon turrets = 125,000 credits each

1 laser turret = 50,000 credits (civillan model)

Power plant

Medium power plant = 3,000,000 credits

Shield generator

Heavy non military grade shields = 2,000,000 credits work like ham currently does.

Engines

Sublight = 200,000 credits

light = 3,500,000 credits

Other systems that icant think of....... total cost being for this customized ship PPROXIMATLY 11,000,000 THIS IS REALISTIC. Then you got the smaller ships used for raids and personal flight. guilds should have access to large ships like the corvettes or other large military based ships. everyone should not be able to just go get a ship. that would defeat the purpose. are there gonna be better proffessions or skills added to the current professions? pilot? space weapons specialist? fighter jock? we dont know they wont tell and so we can not add to their plans and tell them what we'd like to see. so there are my two cents. good hunting. may the force be with you.

crazyguy are you one of these people that want everything jsut given to you or are you willing to make sacrifices to get them? seems to me those peole that spend their time running around just greifing other players all day would NOT ahve the money to do this. no to mention you don't have a RIGHT to a uber ship. buying the expansion dont mean you get what you want with out working for it. me and a friend have been saving up for months anticipating the release of the space expansion ans withthe knowledge that ships aren't going to be cheap. FYI fo rthose of you who didn't know it the dev's and csr's DO control the prices by regulationg how much resources are needed for a item and how often they are spawned. if you want a fully customizable ship you need to start samll and work up just like starting a profession. i hopw you all dont think your gonna be flying around as soon as the expansions comes out. they are gonna take a long time to craft no matter how they do it and they are not gonna be cheap. i can gaurnetee they will run 5million+. good hunting all and may the force be with you.

Nah- casual gamers like me, even though we've been playing since launch, have almost no money compared to those power gamers. One person i met had 5.6 billion credits. Me? I have about 90k credits. It would actually pretty much destroy the economy if the prices went up past a few hundred thousand. For a yt-1500 style ship, I'd expect to pay 1 million credits. For lasers and extra storage, maybe 50k credits. For personal fighters or something, I'd expect to pay maybe 400k credits. I say give the casual gamer a break, as the devs have stated ever since '02 that they wanted casual gamers to have a place in this game. Currently, those darn speeders are going for 5 million on bria. I have no hope as a casual gamer to obtain one, unless I dupe or bum some money off of my rich friends.

For those people that invest more than 20 hours a week on this game- they deserve things like a yt-1500 or something. But I hope there's still a role for us casual gamers out there.

Now hold on, I'm not looking for a "uber ship". And as far as I know a Corellian yt-13000 transport is far from "uber". But I've been around since one month after launch, the most money I've had in my cahrs life at one time is 500k. And I got that the other day through actioning a SEA that I manage to get past somebody with an AFK loot macro with a name of, guess what, "Ninja' Lewt". Powergrinders and AFKers are ruining this game for somebody who would like to play the game for fun.

And think of the people who will greif in space? If there's a certain spot everybody spawns in I'm not going to spend 1 million for a fighter that will be shot down in 5 seconds or while I'm loading and will neeeded to be repaired. I ask you, how is that fun?
