~~ Jump to Lightspeed FAQ ~~
&This post is a working FAQ. It will be updated when information is given tousand verified or discovered&
How do I get my Flash Speeder?
First, you needed to pre-order the special beta/flashspeeder deal. Once you get it, all you have to do is go into your account options after loging into the Launchpad and go to edit subscription>Add Expansions.When you are there put in the code on the back of the jewel case and submit. After, log out of launchpad and relaunch. Go into the game and you should have a deed for a Flash Speeder in your inventory. If you don't, type /flashspeeder.
&You will need one cd per account that you want the Flash Speeder on.
How do I aim and shoot in space?
This is considered a "twitch" game. You aim and shoot like other flight simulators. It won't use the SWG design of targeting to attack a single target.
Also, there will be a targeting recticul floating in front of your target when it is in range to help you aim and will change as your distance to the target changes, your target's speed changes and your target's direction changes.
Will I be able to download JTL or will I have to get the packaged version?
Thisis a boxed-only item if bought alone. It also comes with Rage of the Wookiees (RotW)which you can get with the "All In One" pack or with the Digital Download version.
Will Jump to Lightspeed cost any more per month to play?
It will not cost any more to play per month.
If I do not purchase Jump to Lightspeed will I still be able to play SWG?
Yes you will. All textures you need will be downloaded so you can still see everything on the ground. You will not, however be able to be a Pilot orShipwright or play as a Sullustan or Ithorian.
If I have multiple accounts will I need a copy of Jump to Lightspeed for each account?
Yes, for each account you wish to have any Jump to Lightspeed access you will need a separate copy for that account. This also includes the new species and shipwright.
What are the new professions in JTL?
The new professions are Rebel Pilot, Imperial Pilot,Basic Pilot (aka Privateer), and Shipwright.
Do I have to free upskill pointsto be any of these professions?
You will not useskill pointsfor any of the piloting professions. For ShipWright (since it is on the ground game) you will need to have free skill points.
When I purchase Jump to Lightspeed do I get a free starter ship?
Although you do not receive your starter ship upon purchase, you will receive it when you speak to the recruiter/trainer of the piloting profession you choose. So, when you get Novice Pilot you will receive your starter ship at the same time and that ship will reflect the profession you have chosen.
What are the starter ships?
Imperials - Light duty TIE Fighter; Rebels - Z-95 Headhunter; Privateer - Scyk.
Will I be able to be a Rebel Pilot and Imperial Pilot at the same time?
No you will not.
Can Ibe a Factional Pilot anda Neutral Pilot at the same time?
No you will not. You can only hold one piloting profession at a time.
If I am an Imperial Pilot can I fly an X-Wing?
No you cannot. You will only be able to fly craft you are certified to fly.
What professions are required to gain Shipwright?
Engineering IV
How much materialis needed to make a ship?
A lot. You will need a whole lot of steel so stock up.
Can Iuse a joystick, gamepad or foot rudders in JTL?
Yes. These will be available. You will also still be able to use your mouse.
How does yaw and roll work?
Yaw will be controlled by your joystick and roll will be controlled by foot rudders. If you have a twisting stick, twistwill beroll.
Can I use droids in my ship?
Yes. They are a very important part in space flight. For ships that do not use droids you will use a flight computer. These items are not required to fly your ship, but are useful.
Also, you can use any type of droid program you can get your hands on. That mean a Rebel can use Privateer and Imperial programs if they can get thier hands on them.
What are my primary concerns in space as far as my ship goes?
Your shield, armour, booster-charge level, and weapon-capacitor status. These are clearly visible on your heads-up display. Oh, and not dying. Not dying will be your primary concern.
Can I control power to these areas?
Only in certain ways using your droids and flight computers. Each piloting profession has special abilities in using droids. You can use other profession's droid programs if you can get some to burn a chip for you.
Do all ships use droids? Even TIEs?
A TIE and other non-astromech ships will be able to use a flight computer.
What happens to my ship when I die in space?
You willclone atthe nearestspace station and your ship will need repairs before moving.
What happens to me if I die in space?
You will appear at the nearestspace station and incur 100 mind, action, and health wounds as well as 100 battle fatigue. If you eject it will be 200 mind, action, health and battle fatigue.
&Jedi xp is not lost upon death. Your PvP ranking is also not effected.
Can my ship ever be destroyed?
The only way you can destroy your ship is by going into your datapad and deleting it.
How do I repair my ship in space?
There will be space stations you can go to and pay to repair your ship (like vehicle garages for space).
Can I use my ship to travel from planet to planet instead of using the travel system?
Yes you can and two different ways. You can either go into space and hyperspace into a zone then travel to the space station of your planet's choice to land on that planet or you can use the "Travel" option on the Launching Terminals which will bypass space and land you right in the starport/spaceport of your choice. You cannot use this for traveling to cities without a spaceport of some type. In other words, "no player cities or cities like Anchorhead".
Will I have to refuel my ship?
No
Can I name my ship?
Yes. It will appear after your name while in space like this: Han Solo (Millennium Falcon)
Will I be able to modify my ship?
Yes. Also, many of those modifications will be viewable on the outside of your ship (except for TIEs).
Who modifies our ships?
You modify your own ship with looted parts you find in space or parts you buy from Shipwrights.
Can I have my ship illegally modified?
Maybe some day. Not now.
Can I paint my ship?
For most ships, yes you can (not TIEs or the Y-8). You can also set textures which willdraw predetermineddisigns on your ship.
How do I loot in space?
Once you take out an enemy the loot and credits are transfered to you. Credits will be received in the form of credit chips and they will stack in your inventory. Go into your inventory and transfer them to your bank account to use them. There won't be a "loot" option like there is on the ground game. In large, mulitplayer ships the looted items go into a loot box on the ship.
&It would be wise to keep room in your inventory while in space so you can get loot. If your inventory is full, any loot you could have had after a kill will be lost forever.
What ships are available to me?
The ships that have been verified are:
X-Wing, Heavy X-Wing, A-Wing, B-Wing, Y-Wing, Y-Wing "Longprobe", Z-95 Headhunter, Heavy Z-95 Headhunter, The YKL-37r Rebel Nova Courier, TIE Fighter, TIE Advanced, TIE Interceptor, Royal TIE Intercepter, TIE bomber, TIE Aggressor, TIE Oppressor, VT-49 Imperial Decimator, YT-1300, PLY-3000 Sorosuub Personal Luxury Yacht (for 6-month Veterans), Light Hutt Fighter (M3-A "Scyk"), Heavy Scyk, Medium Hutt Fighter (G1-M4-C "Dunelizard"), Heavy Hutt Fighter (M12-L "Kimogila"),Heavy Hutt2-Passenger (M22-T "Krayt"), Firespray, Light Black Sun Fighter (Kiraxz), Vaksai (heavy version of Kiraxz), Medium Black Sun Fighter (Ixiyen), Heavy Black Sun Fighter (Rihkxyrk), Belbullaa 22 (Grievous Ship), Jedi Starfighter (Eta-2 Actis Intercepter), ARC-170, Y-8 Mining Vessel.
Total:33 ships
Do Jedi have special powers or abilities in space?
No. They will be treated like any other player in space as this is a "twitch" part of the game.
Are theremulti-player ships?
Yes. Player on Board (POB) ships like the YT-1300, YKL-37r Rebel Nova Cruiser, VT-49 Imperial Decimator, Y-8 Mining Vessel,and PLY-3000 Sorosuub are large multi-player ships (hold 30 passengers; 8 group and any others around the ship before launch). In the YT-1300, YKL-37r and VY-49you can have 2 people in the turrets acting as gunners. In the Y-8 you can have 2 gunners and an additional forward firing weapon. Also, you can have a copilot in these five ships that will be able to use droid and special commands as well as use the rest of your crew to tend to your ship's various needs during flight. The smaller multi-passenger (MP) ships (2-seater) include the Y-Wing, M-22 "Krayt", and TIE Opressor and they can have a single rider/gunner with the pilot. The ARC-170 is a 3-seater MP ship.
Who is able to use the large multi-player ships?
NeutralPilots use the YT-1300, Rebels use the YKL-37r, Imperials use the VT-49 and any veteran having earned the yacht can use it as well. The Y-8 Mining Vessel is useable by and master pilot that has completed the quests begun on Kaskyyyk.
&Multi-player ships hold 100 items.
How many ships can I own?
Three ships all together with a limit of 2POB ships. The yacht counts towards that number. If you have purchased RotW you will have six ship slots and can have additionalPOB ships.
Can I fly a capital ship?
No. JTL is focusing mainly on starfighters. The devs have said they will look into this feature in the future.
Will I be able to board other ships while in space?
No.
How many space zones are there?
There are 10. One for Corellia and Talus, one for Naboo and Rori, and one for each other planet.Then there will be two zones considered Wild Space. Wild Space consists of Deep Space and Kessel. An eleventh zone is available with the purchase of RotW. The zone is Kashyyyk.
How will I get into space?
There are terminals at spaceports youuse and load into space from there.
Can I fly my ship from the surface and into space?
No. No atmospheric flight of any kind.
What are the two new species included with JTL?
Ithorian and Sullustan
Can I mine in space?
Yes you can. You will need to outfit your ship with a cargo hold and mining lasers. A tractor beam can also be used alond with your mining lasers and it collects more efficiently than mining lasers alone.
Howdo I travel in space (jumping to lightspeed)?
You will have a hyperspace menu that looks just like the onefor starport and shuttleport galactic menus. From there you click on a planet and choose a hyperspace point in that system to jump to. Once you do that click "Hyperspace" and it will get your computer going from 0% to 100% at 25% intervals. Once you get to 100% your ship will no longer be controllable and a countdown from 5 to 1 will begin. After 1 appears your ship will go to a cut scene where it jumps.
How is overt and covert treated in space?
No "covert" in space.
In normal space zones: If you choose to be overt then you will be overt and attackable only by other overts and NPCs. If you choose not to be overt then there will be no TEF if you decide to attack NPCs of the opposite faction soyou will remain unattackable by overt players, unlike the ground game. PvP will be purely consensual.
In Deep Space: PvP for everyone. You will be divided into factions here. In Deep Space, Basic Pilots must pick a side; rebel or Imperial.
How does collisionwork?
Capital ships and large asteroids are impassible. Personal starfighters cause a collision but you can also pass through them if you stay in contact. No damage is incurred during collision.
&This is what I have for now. If I am missing anything critical or something has changed please PM (do not post) it to me and I will add or change it.

How will yaw and roll work?
Yaw will be controlled by your joystick and roll will be controlled by foot rudders
Just Googled "Rudder"...
"Hinged control surface located at the trailing edge of the vertical stabilizer, which provides control of the airplane about the Yaw axis and causes the airplane to Yaw left or right. Left rudder movement causes the airplane to Yaw left, and right rudder movement causes it to Yaw right." I learn something new everyday
I think youhave this backwards. Yaw would be controlled by foot rudders and roll by the joystick.

I hope that's a joke and that we can remap the controls. Roll with the foot rudders, **edit**!

I hope so too, but this is right from IGN who test ran this thing. I don't have it backwards unless they do.

Will I have to free up xp to be any of these professions?
As of now you will not use xp for any of the piloting professions. For ShipWright (since it is on the ground game) you will need to have free xp.
Dont you mean Skill Points? How can you "free up xp"? Im a little lost on this one.
