To come to think of it there could be large space stations, large enough to support salon!? an NPC salon/tent that is....
Can hope... Can hope.
But it looks like Stations are just going to be decoration at launch.
But the idea of player owned caps (I'm guessing, space-city is going to be the net effect) is something that may eventually come about.

Not exactly sure if this is very Image Designery-- but it'd be sweet if ID's or some one could paint designs and logos on ships (selectable from a library the way tattoos are). I've been playing X-Wing Alliance, and the Twi'lek painted on the side of Emon's Firespray (Fett's ship)is to die for! I want!!
I agree with this. I personally think that all the customization kits (droid, vehicle, etc.) should be done away with and give ID's the ability to customize paint and / or graphics on droids, vehicles, spaceships etc. Afterall,this would be a type of image to be designed.

YAY, don't let the salon dream die!!! Oh wait...spacestations are like airports...& ID's giving massages on spacestations would be like those people who give massages in airports at those little kiosks. Hmm, maybe holo-emotes aren't such a bad idea afterall...
Just kidding

Last I heard... they were adding two more SYSTEMS, deep space. No planets. Planets are a large and resource-intensive thing. From what I hear, there will be these systems to explore in space:
Corellian System (Visitable planets Talus and Corellia.)
Naboo System (Rori and Naboo, of course.)
Dantooine system (Dantooine. Tatooine and Dantooine are NOT SISTER PLANETS!!!!)
Tatooine System (Tat)
All the adventure planets should have their own systems too, plus the 'deep space', for a total of ten space systems. See you all in the void!

1. No new planets in expansion.
This is correct. We're focusing on space combat and exploration. We will be adding two new "wild zones" for players to explore from space. We definitely want to add planets in the future, but our Live efforts are still geared towards filling out the planets we already have. Once we feel that those planets have enough content, we'll expand to other worlds. Also note that the space zones are large and content rich, allowing for plenty of exploration. In a way, they are like planet spaces that you can explore in three dimensions.,

Also to hit on a point bout having to have the space expansion to ID the new species...
Logicaly that would be doubtfull. Expect a big patch the day SE is launched. Logically the assets for the new species either already are in game or will be added to the game. While you may not be able to create a character that is of the 2 new species, you will have to at the least have their mesh's and data for the game to display the people.
The only alternatives in game design would be that you ither cannot see any player of one of the expansion species, The non SE client loads a Base Human skin in place of the new species, or the base NPC skin for thae SE species is loaded(logically it will be a speicies that has a NPC counterpart so a Base of that species exists somewhere on the non SE client)
Hopefully we will in deed be able to ID these new spiecies without JTL though.

I agree with Viconik that it will be rather independent from the main game, but there also will bea lot ofties. for example crafters will bemaking the ships and I'm sure you will still need food and to an entertainer every so often
