Sorry for taking so long to reply, someone wanted to know my specs.
Intel Pentium P4HT 3.4ghz, 1gig ram 800mhz fsb , ATI Radeon X800XT, Windows XP Home Edition (some crappy onboard sound until I stick my audigy in it 
).
).Oh andthe specs that you mentioned will run JTL great.
As I probably said before, JTL actually runs better than the ground game at the moment, hardly any graphic lag, low ping (same as the ground game from what I have tested).

Sounds great can anyone talk about the Y wing and how it compares to the other imperial ships. I know its slower and less manoverable but where there any highly modified versions able to keep pace with the more advanced Imperial fighters in beta?

Let me start by saying that SWG was the very first RPG I have ever played. I play FPS, RTS, and flight sims. So for me to get into beta, even though it was in late Sept. was a thrill.
Let me inform you that you DON'T need high level componets to have a good ship. I looted a level 2 engine that has a max speed of 766. With the boosters on I can go 993. This has let me run after taking to much damage. And turst me, you will take a lot of damage. You have to train 1/1/1/1 before you can train in the next levels. I started out as a rebel pilot. Then I changed my mind. I switched over to Corsec. I lost all the pilot xp (under 6k) I had at that point.
I'm going to be happy playing JTL. I'm sure 95% of the rest of you will to. See you in space

One of the things I remember and still grin about.
I'm a twilek female and when I finished my Imperial tier 1 missions the imperial recruiter told me that i had done a good job and he presented me with my Imperial tie fighter suit and helmet.
He gave me the uniform and said" where it proudly" , "here is you your helmet...unfortunetly some one of your Cranial dimensions will be unable to wear it so maybe you can display it proudly in your home"!
I laughed so hard and so did a bunch of people that were there at the time .
Still makes me smile.

I'm making a small website to host some stories and screenshots. I'll post it here when finished, but for now I'll give the quick version of my favorite JtL experience...it was without a doubt the most Star Warsy experience I've ever had beyond the first time I logged into SWG.
Myself and 2 friends are sitting in the Dath Cantina waiting for another friend to show up so we can help her on a mission. I'm just jamming away on my FanFare, when all of a sudden I hear our friend in space say she's under attack! (we are using ventrilo) I ask her possition and she says she's about 2-3k away from the dath starport. "We're on our way" The cantina door bursts open as we run to the starport. Quickly scrambling to space, our x-wing trio nailed our boosters and flew to help our friend, who was only able to turn and dodge to avoid being blown to bits. We entered into weapons range and tore appart TIE after TIE. It was a tough battle against TIE Oppressors, Advanced, and Aggressors, but in the end, our fast moves and quick reactions won the day and saved our friend.
I'll be putting a longer, more polished version of this, along with various screenshots on my website soon.

OMG, getting invited to Beta was the coolest thing.
Many moons ago, whilst grinding for Jedi, I remember saying that I didn't care about the expansion. I wasn't a flight sim person. But I started getting excited about JTL when we started seeing some screenies and ship info coming out.
I get my invite and log in. First I notice the new Tailor outfits running around. I got the see that Sullistan was the new species and I quickly chose that as my character. Pretty cool.
Seeing that there used to be a Shipwright profession, then the Starfigher Engineer profession above that seemed a little daunting, but I felt it was ok so people couldn't power-grind through the profession, as quickly. But the removed that.
Learning about all the components of the Shipwright profession was really cool. Making a piece, and taking it for a test drive, rinse and repeat. It did cause me a pre-headache thinking about a customer coming and asking for a ship (as a future shipwright) and asking you to just make them an uber ship! Knowing there are several ways to have an uber ship gave me the pre-headache. But I also can't wait because it will be fun!
Getting into space and learning how to get everywhere, how to do everything. Getting a joystick and mapping controls to it! That was a dream! There were some issues that stopped me from testing (Jumping ships) but these went away. And lemme tell you how much fun it is chasing ships and disabling them, then taking your time whilst they anticipate their death. Muhaahahaahaa!
I still love flying to a space station like I was actually going to dock.
Did I mention no more shuttle waits? You can fly your own ship anywhere! ( I wonder how much you will see people waiting for shuttles now?)
Vet Reward!!! This is an amazing ship. I can picture myself loading it with decor now. These will definately be party cruisers. And you can take whole groups anywhere on it, from the get go. Other POB ships are master level, so this is nice to look forward to.
I think everyone will be so amazed at the graphics. And the sounds and realism is amazing.
And I think we all need to applaud the devs on this. They were very good at communicating and taking advice. They pushed back when they knew what was best for the game. Overall, they were amazing. Seeing andy sommers posting at all hours! This team wasn't human to do what they did, and I am sure there will be much needed vacation time spent from them all. And to think about them all helping out with the ground game now, makes me smile. There is so much talent here!
I will post more when I think of more.
