"Will those of us who are running multiple accounts (personally i have 3 current and active accounts) have to buy a JTL Expansion for each account? meaning, If I have 3 accounts will I need to buy 3 copies of JTL in order to have all my accounts access the space content?"

I believe so, yes. However, there will be NO additional monthly fee for playing JTL. Basically, for your current monthly fee, you getboth theground and space experiences.

Well given that I have one account on hold pending JTL release this is somewhat dissapointing and means that if I ever start up my second account again it will never get to have anything to do with space because spending another $100 odd AUD is bad enough but having to do it twice is just not right. Heck it makes me think twice about even bothering about buying one copy anymore .

The info on the expansion is great, personally I can't wait. But I'm really interested in why no new planets? I mean I understand your answer to a point, but honestly the planets we have now arent enough. Hoth for example, I would gaurantee at least 90% of the players would love to see that planet come into the galaxy. I was really suprised it wasnt a starting planet when SWG came out. Was looking forward to hunting some Wampa's and taming a Taun-Taun I really hope you guys do put some new planets in, at least by the end of the year. My main question is can we expect at least 1 to 2 to planets by the end of 2004? And any ideas what planets they would be? Personally I'd like to see Hoth, Kessel and even Dagobah... more places to explore and the possibilites will again be endless. Well at least until even more planets are added.

And my second question, I didnt entirely understand the answer about no docking in space. You mentioned that there will be no docking on large vessels and space stations, but then again you said if you die you can clone at the nearest station if you clone there... I'm just a little confused about that. Are you saying there will be small stations out there that you CAN dock on to clone, heal, repair ships etc, until the larger stations and ships can be boarded?

Thanks, and good work. Its all coming along nicely

Willmore planets come in future expansions?

I agree with the above statement, I don't like to PvP.. but i do like to do the story based quests for factions in the game.

Other than that.. everything looks great! Can't wait.

See ya at the Fan Fest

A Basic Pilot Profession and a Faction aligned Pilot Profession, Well I would like to do Imperial and Basic, Most of the time I am a Covert Imperial. BUT i do enjoy and want to be a "stormtrooper" for a few days (overt) Basically I can be a Bounty hunter with a bounty hunter style ship for a few weeks, then when I look for a change of pace, thenI can just jump into my TIE and be an IMP.

I hope they will allow the basic and one faction foreveryone, espicallyfor a BH. (some professions will be allowed to do that, but some of the more elite professions cannot

If that is a absolute no, then I will go with the Basic Pilot Profession (more of BH style ships?)

But it would be nice to participate in the war as a IMP in a IMP ship once in awhile.

lol the YT-1300 is not a carrier, but it would be good to just eject people from time to time lol

Hey Shrug, I was watching Screen Savers tonight on TechTV. They were showing E3 stuff and the reporter was talking to a rep for EverQuest 2. During the short spot a comment was made about no content in SWG. It seems that no content is common tort about SWG. How do you and the Dve team feel about this and what being done to answer this 'no content' label?

I'm a bit concerned about lag. I remember back in my XvT days, and especially X-Wing Alliance, that lag was a very large problem once you got more than five players in on the game. Now, I understand that your servers and their connections to the internet are many many many times faster than my host on XvT was, but you will also have many many more people playing at the same time.

My questions would be what is the chance that I am going to be dogfighting in a large furball over tatooine, then all of a sudden about ten people load into the zone and everyone jumps around for a few seconds from lag, causing me to either miss a shot or be shot. On WWII online when I'm dogfighting over a city, only 64 players can be seen at one time, even if there are more. Will we have this problem while dogfighting?

I guess I dont' understand how you are able to have a MMO twitch game with the graphics that SWG has.

Thanks!

Excellent. This will definetly make things more interesting. THe progression of actual piloting skill will help the community in many ways. I can't wait to check out the new engine and start blowing away enemy fighters like in my X-Wing Alliance days. Ah, nostalgia.
