Thread: Rage of the Wookies: Please no Spaceport access to Kashyyyk, PLEASE!
I do agree that a space port, per se, shouldn't be here. More like the ports on Dath or in Nym's station. Small ones. Or even smaller. But, intergalactic travel to Kashyyyk should exist for those without JTL.
I do like the idea of the new missions, of course and docking and landing. I think that should be in SWG anyway even without the expansion.

Sounds to me like the new expansion includes JTLS at least for new players.
The rest of us may get the expansion as a download.
Also there is much JTL content in the new expansion, space mining and new ships for example.
This new planet will probably have it's own system too, which would translate into more space missions.
Here's the part of the IGN.com piece I'm refering too.
players of Star Wars Galaxies will be able to download a massive expansion pack that adds some of the content from the movie to the popular online roleplaying world. That same month brand new players who want to try Galaxies will be able to buy a new compilation pack that includes the original game, Jump to Lightspeed and Rage of the Wookiees.

Oh, I absolutely agree that there should be some JTL specific content for those with JTL. It makes sense that with a new planet come new space missions and a new space sector. What I am saying is that Kashyyyk itself should be available to anyone with the base SWG game.
The compilation packs are those for new players tht want all 3. SWG, JTL and RotW. There will always be an option to get just one or the other so if someone doesn't want to buy JTL and just wants to buy and download RotW, they can. So, they still would not have JTL.
As for the compilation packs: it's about time! lol. I mean, really... no more huge downloads for new players since these packs should have all the hotfixes and publishes from day 1.

I'd imagine there will probably be small starports on Kashyyyk, were we'll land at.

Not for nothing but excluding content is what the Teleport to every area of the galaxy is doing to those that invested in JTL. We dont need JTL at all at this point in time.
What the people that do not have JTL can do is opt to ride inside a multiplayer ship if SOE had implamented it properly. But instead all we do is teleport which totally ruined immersion of this game as a whole and made the Galaxy Very Very Very small.
It dosent take 5 seconds to go from Tattooine to Dathomir! Why even have Hyperdrives when we have teleporting?
I say screw this crap and force people to fly. If they cant fly they can use public transportation. If its not available to people that do not have JTL then allow for REAL PLAYERS to act as Transports and bring them there. If not there is always those little handy NPCs that can act as a space transport and dosent exactly have to act as a public transport.
Sometimes actually masking a public transport with a smuggler NPC heading in the same direction you are might help with immersion so the NON JTLers dont get stuck. But still even with shuttles or with starships, SPACE TRAVEL shoudl be apparent as this is STAR wars.
