I like those sort of games actually better than RPG, but I bought Galaxies seeing Online RPG on the box knowing what I was suppose to be getting. I can't think of exactly how the expansion would work best, but I'm pretty sure this won't be it.





It's not like that at all as people have said when SWG's was in beta the devs said the space expansion would be twitchy combat because that was the best way to do it, they even said they tried other ways to do it.

Question is.... do we get more skill points when the Space Expansion comes out? I think we should get an extra 50 skill points to master the new pilot profession.

I do have to agree the name is kinda.....wierd, but there have been bigger crimes. So the list of ships we know will be in (based on the screens):


X Wing


Y Wing


TIE Fighter


TIE Interceptor


TIE Advanced


YT-1300


Probables: TIE Bomber, TIE Advanced, A Wing, Z 95 Headhunter.


I would guess another couple will be those mercenary craft. It doesnt look good for the inclusion of multi person ships and capital ships . But thats just speculation.

Umm..how do you know this?


And seriously...who care's what its called as long as it delivers?






You think your going to be flying through space without the radar and chatbox and overhead etc etc? I don't think so.






In the playshots of the day they don't have all that junk either doesn't mean they aren't in game screenshots there



These are in game shots too im sure.





Yeah, and those are perfected screenshots. I don't want to see that. I want to see just normal gameplay.

when i am flying through space i would actually prefer not to have the chatbox or anything showing. radar should depend on the ship, i dont recall, did all the fighters have them in the movies?





I don't play first person. Gives me a headache.

that's kinda how i think it'll go too. skills will still play a very important role in Spacecraft operation. How it's integrated though is anyone's guess.

And now, a light-hearted glimpse into the future!


Yay! Patching done and I managed to log on... okay, let's open our datapad and look at the draft schematics... oh wait, I need to find an NPC trainer to teach me "Novice Shipbuilder"...


* time and credits passes... *


Okay, got Novice Shipbuilder. Now to look in my crafting tool and look at the schematics...


"+Fuzzy Dice"


"+Nav Computer"


"+Control Yoke"


"+Panel with Buttons"


"+Generic Single Pilot Fuselage"


"+Buffing Cloth"


"Deed for: Escape Pod"


Umm... let's click on "Ship Blueprints 1...


"You need 125000 Ship Building Experience for this skill..."


* Days pass *


Cool! Finally got enough SuperUnobtanium Steel to build my X-Wing! Quick, off to the Starport!


You have entered Kaadara.


A_pilot yells "LAAAAG"


Another_Pilot yells "OMG n00b take off already"


Another_shipbuilder shouts "Can someone teach me Master Shipbuilder?"


A_newb shouts "Looking to buy a tie fighter, have 15k to spend, plz pst if u can give me one"


Hmmm.... well, let's click "Generate Ship" from my datapad.


You must be Overt to generate this vehicle.


* insert nerve wracking trip to Moenia and back *


The starport is in use. Please wait.


And wait....


And wait....


Ah, finally! * clicks enter ship *


Loading, please wait...


This is cool! We're in space! Okay, R2, set a course for Yavin 4!

perfected? the shots of the day many times look like crap. i can say that cuz i run the best video card on teh market and have all my settings jacked up. they are anything but perfected, dropping the HUD is pathetically easy to do when setting up a screenshot.


my guess is, the HUD for spaceflight will be different then the HUD used for players on land.

Just because you see these craft in screenshots doesn't mean all of these are one of the 15 usable that Haden mentioned. You see alot of alien species running around the various static cites, but not all of them are playable races.

Oh and I hope we can all ride in YT-1300 and YT-2400s with co-pilots that can man guns.

"YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO BUY A SHIP RIGHT AWAY. MAY TAKE A COUPLE WEEKS OR MONTHS TO GET THE CREDITS FOR ONE"



change it to "you may not". there are an awful lot of people with an awful lot of credits out there. my guess is come day one, they'll be buying the crappiest entry level ships that first get produced just to be in space. and within a few days, they'll be buying the better ones as the shipbuilders get better.

I suggest you devs get with marketing and slap this on the front of the expansion:


YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO BUY A SHIP RIGHT AWAY. MAY TAKE A COUPLE WEEKS OR MONTHS TO GET THE CREDITS FOR ONE


otherwise you are just going to have tons of people coming in on that day shouting in bestine, theed, and other major cities "can i have a starship?" and i don't think anyone wants to deal with that.





Just become a dam artisan and gather a crap load or resources so you can make your own starship... duh!
