Yeah, if your not out grinding or busy talking to people.I don't know anyone who literally plays the entire game without the HUD or anything else on. /rolleyes
Here’s my two credits:
The interview did not give as much info as I wanted, (but anything short of instructions on where to buy it right now will be less than I wanted.) But it was a good first peak.
Twitch is good, do not fear it. I am not surprised at the support for twitch in this thread, players who want to fly in space want to well, fly in space. Those who don’t like it should try to keep these points in mind: 1) By the time you work your way up the pilot skill tree, you will probably have developed the real life skills to reflect your level. 2) One thing I have learned from my favorite twitch game (BF1942) is that no matter how good you are, there is always somebody better, however, no matter how bad you are, there are at least 10 people who are worse.
Sorry to see capitol ships will be NPC only, hope that will be on deck for patch 23...
Don’t like having ships stored in the data pad, but I see why it is necessary.
Looking forward to more information, looks great so far!

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.
This is again something that was announced long ago.
There will be additional skill points, but in a new "space" pool. You will have more than one set of skill points - the existing land and then space points you can only spend on space professions.
Unless something has changed, this means that you won't be able to "fill out" your land skills any further.

neither do I, in SWG right now. not quite sure how this follows up my post though, but okay.

lol... The radar an' all being inherit to the type of ship your flying in would mean, first person. 3rd person is the same ol' radar n all were used to now. I don't play first person so many of those screen shots do not appeal to me.

That wasn't the point. 
You said that the screenshots were fake/altered/etc. because there were not chat screens/HUD.
As several people have pointed out, you yourself can make screenshots like that in SWG right now by typing CTRL-SHIFT-H.
We were just saying that lack of HUD elements does not mean they are inauthentic.
Personally, I assume they are like the screenshots you can see in the offical website of the land game - they are either taken from uber-computers (that our commercial models can never match) or they are run through a filter like the player submitted shots are.
In either case, it's not so much what we see in those pictures, it's what we don't see - space stations, the interior of ships...I mean, does anyone doubt that visually it will look cool? That's one thing we don't have to worry much about around here. It's some of the core features that many of us are very eager to find out exist or not.

I want candid shots! Candid shots of flying through space aimlessly and/or combat. Not these set-up shots.

No. I said the shots were either "perfected" meaning: Everyone is smiling at the camera. Or cinematic.

No, really?

Did I say they were?

k here are my two cents
1. expansion is gonna rock if some things are cleared up like walk in ships and storing blablabla all the questions asked before
imagine yourself siting on a cockpit of a ship piloting through asteroid field finally you clear it you set the destination on yout computer and press auto pilot. you get up from your seat and walk to the back area where you have a few couches and sit and talk with your friends while you arrive to planet _________(put what ever you want in the blank)
NOW THAT WOULD BE AWSOME
2. here is my idea to be able to include atmosphere flying (i know the devs arnt going to include it but at least they could add this)
you call your ship on a spaceport (whitch they should make 5 times bigger) you walk in the ship and you sit on the cockpit all systems check and press launch. THrough your window you see your ship lift (autopilot) and fly up really high looking down at the noobs running to catch their public transport pointing and laughing at them at some point you go on the loading screen and you load in space. (you can put the imagine story of #1 and make it follow this one and you get a good scenarion of what would be cool in SE)

/agree
These screenies are intended to pique your interest, and to someone who doesn't play SWG they might do that. But for us players who want to see the 'nitty gritty' then these screenies are a bit of a disappointment.
Well even if I never played.
I hate screenshots that are cinematic. I don't even understand why they advertise with those. There only for setting the story up or telling it. Not the gameplay.
I also hate screenshots like the ones here for SE. It doesn't show anything other then some ship sitting in space. Why would that interest me? I want to see raw shots of combat or just flying around.
