Is there any hope it will be a realtime space sim like Tie Fighter vs. Xwing etc? I'm not sure they've released any details, but it would be a refreshing addition to the semi-turn based land combat.

I've seen video that is 2 years old. It is real time. You actually aim and fly around on all 3 axises.

sounds good, hmm, maybe new houses, in space, or instead of planets...systems, which you could find orbital shops, heh.

or what about being able to use the ships liek a house! You know, decorate the interior, maybe set up vendors? something awesome like that! and you could have multiple people live on a ship or something awesome like that.

That's what I meant but I think vendors would be a bit extreme unless it was a big ship full of at LEAST 20 people. But then again ships that even CAN carry 20+ willmost likelynever be available to players.

the MOST important thing i care is to be able to customize your own ship, but that would be very difficult and time consuming to produce and implement into the game. Most likely everything will be set, just like vehicles, and you will prolly only have choice of single, maybe double seaters. i hope you can walk on ships, if they make big enough ones. My main concern is: Will Space Expansion be comepletely playable when it's released? if not, i dont think it should be released!

The demo they set up of the Space Expansion looked pretty playable to me. Thank God its like X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter and X-Wing Alliance!

spaceship interiors could be done to work like houses on large ships. Like when your flying the ship space would be loaded, but when you walk around the interior would be loaded

I just hope there is a seamless transition from piloting to walking around your ship! Imagine if you were in the Millennium Falcon piloting and had to get up and fix the hyperdrive. If you had to load inbetween for a minute you would die since you couldn't manuever the ship out of the way of the TIE Fighter lasers...

I hope they at least give us the option to name and color our ships. I'm almost certain we should be able to color them, they are already letting us do that with vehicles.

I just hope combat in space is put together well. I wonder if it will be a X wing versus Tie fightersimulation or something like we have in ground combat.
The scale of the battles will have to be a good size if they want to pull people into the game.
I also want to be able to park my spaceship and have it there when I get back to it. I want realistic damage on the ships and large ships you can walk around in.
I didn't spend any money on a house becasuse I am waiting for the space expansion. One thing to think about... does everyone who buys the expansion get a starship right off the bat?

There will probably be a starship engineer or something like that to craft ships. Also, it looks and plays like the X-Wing games. There is a video on SWG Stratics called the Celebration 2 video. It shows the SE and its playable.
