That guy in the celebration video is annoying. I kept barking at the screen "Shut up! Shut Up!"

The space expansion looks pretty sweet though. It feels A LOT like the x-wing games. And I loved the wake trails coming off the back to the ships as they twisted and turned. If the SE is still infact like the video, then we are in for one helluva ride.




Yes, the guy was most annoying. Imagine how it would be actually being there. I would've probably slapped him. lol

Well, first off, I'm new on the forums so sorry if this has already been written, but...



The idea of space travel sounds, simply put, AWESOME to me. As for traveling, I'd suggest that they put in an option for automatic trips to the planets or have the players drive the ships there themselves. Like it's been said before, I'd love to walk around on my ship and see what it's like from the inside.


Also, I think that it would be cool to ride your ships when you're actually on the planets, a la "Empire Strikes Back," where they drove A-wings on the planet. That could make for some really interesting PvP combat.


But most of all, however, what I think would be really cool would be to not necessarily just have a roomy ship...but an enormous, multi-room, miniature-world-sized ship. If I'm a devoted Imperial, don't I deserve a Star Destroyer(I'll call this my "Mother Ship" theory).Again, this would make for some interesting combat. It would be cool if I could, say, dock my TIE interceptor in my Star Destroyer, and then when the need arose, I would join my crew in the battle against Rebels.


To make the whole Mother Ship thing even more cool, we'd make it with strengths and weaknesses. For example, I'd love to equip my Star Destroyer with a tractor beam to lure unsuspecting Rebel ships in. However, if they were as sneaky as they were in "A New Hope," they could sneak in, save their comrades, and shut down the tractor beam and other important systems.


Finally, Space Stations...why not? I'm not sure if in the game's timeline the Death Star has been destroyed yet (I think it has), but being able to park my Mother Ship within a Space Station like the Death Star. Then, imagine this, you're in a Space Station, where you can go to your Star Destroyer, and then into your Interceptor!



Expansive? Most definitley. However, the philosophy behind a MMORPG (especially one based on franchise as popular as Star Wars) is that the more you can immerse yourself in a universe, the better.

Planets which Iyou need to fly to: No More shuttles to Dathmoir or Endor, Dantooine destroyed which it should have been done a long time ago because according to George Lucas at Skywalker Ranch which, knowing that devs could read. Dantooine was destroyed by a fleet of Star Destroyers. Now, you know how Star Destroyers got there name. Now if they add Hoth there should be no spaceports there, either. God forbid if they put a spaceport on Dagobah not even the best explorer in the galaxy would even touch that planet every exploration on Dagobah all exploration parties were lost and deemed it as an unsafe planet. Basicly, to make Space Expansion better have all the Devs go through thousands and upon thousands of George Lucas' notes they are really quite interesting provided, once again if devs could read. Now for Imperials the only Rebel spaceship they should get is the X-Wing which is currently still used by the Imperial NAVY. Biggs Starlighter X-Wing was an Imperial X-Wing. So, Devs do the players a favor and go to Skywalker Ranch you have a lot of reading to do. Also, not only do I want a bright pink Star Destroyer, I want a bright pink Death Star too...

I could come up with a thousand ideas


Spacestations and docks.

Space based missions(escort, destroy and transport etc)


Being able to asseble a crew from NPC`s or join a crew with other people.

A Knights Of The Old Republic type ship interior.


The option of auto or manual docking.


Some new planets sush as Dagobah, Hoth, Ord Mantrell and the planet Obi Wan visited in EP 2 where the clones were.



Eomer

Reb Rivendale Crusaders

Elder Jedi & Alliance Ace Pilot

Nothing Got Enhanced(but everything got nerfed)


PvPing untill there is something else to do.

Kamino?



lol, that would be fun having to swim most of the way instead of running


: )



think if they canna make coruscant, kamino will be a bit of a uphil struggle since you can't build structures while swimming



Ithori would be a nice visual treat if they add it in,



what i am really looking forward too (and probably we will be looking at SWG 3 by then) is the invasion of the Yuzhaan Vong


: )

If we get enough people in this topic, I imagine we can force the devs to drop us some little tidbit of information

It would be nice to hear something new about the SE, last I heard, I think JustG said he loved flying hisA-Wing around.

Apparently the new high-tech Star Wars toys will be in stores any day now. The toys can talk and are interactive, so they can be easily distinguished from Star Wars fans.
