Ok here is my question and I have not seen anyone yet on these 6 pages ask it.
SInce their are going to be 2 new races added are characters going to be given like a 2 week period of time where they can switch their current character over to this new race without having to reroll their entire character?? Or is each account going to be given the ability to create a second character on each server thus being able to try out the new races??
I'm gald their are new races getting added to the game and I'm not going to even guess what they are but I don't see how anyone other than a very casual gamer or a new person to the game will be able to use them right now without having to reroll. I really hope Thunderheart, Q-3P0, or Blackman or any one else looking at the boards answers this question. Thank you

ADD NEW FACTION PLEASE.
Space sounds great but can u please add one new faction besides imperial and rebel. I thoguht i heard a rumor a while back about a Hutt faction in the expansion. This would be great, it would be for thos professions like smugglers and bounty hunters who would work for any faction given a good price. This way we dont have to go nuetral and not be able to engane in PVP. If ther is a third faction, then that faction can PVP with the rebel and imperial factions,so it would be a hard factiion cause everyone can get you, it would be great.

When I get an X-wing...will I be able to choose between different types of fire. For instance, in the extended universe books they talk about firing one laser at a time rapidly. They also use the ways of top then bottom lasers subsequently and all at the same time to concentrate firepower.
Will we be able to choose between the three? If not, is it possible to have it discussed?

I have a question:
If I choose to be a Privateerand I am a factioned imperial, can I still partake in Space PVP or Do I need to be an Imperial Pilot to do PVP in Space?
BTW great Job so far, the Expansion has exceeded my expectations.

This all sounds really cool 
I'm glad they're not going to screw over us BH's that want to fly, too. However, as far as the two new species go, please PLEASE make one of them Ithorian!!
Thanks

I'm fairly impressed with what I've seen so far.
My greatest concern involves TIE fighters having the same capabilities of X-wings--Will they be the same ship, the only difference being their skin?
I really hope the dev team can take a long hard look at creating a TIE fighter true to the canon. My fear is this will become another "wookie armor" issue, in which at the end of the day, TIEs will have hyperdrive and shields because no other alternative could be fathomed.

few question will the paint jobs for our ships be like speeders? in other words only good for 3 to 4 days
when other ships come out will we be forced to get a schematic & aultra rear loot itemthat we must then take to a shipbuilder to have it made?, or will the shipbuilder just have access to it?
and who get the loot when for or five players are attacking a NPC ship just the player the get the final shot in?, or whoever does the most damage? or will each player have a chance at getting a loot item?
and will i get my ghrtoc 580 or 720?

I quite agree with atjtennis about a grace period in which you would get to switch over your established character to one of the new races if one of the two races is one you wanted to have played in the first place. I know that my own character was meant from the outset to be a Zeltron. And while I don't anticipate Zeltrons getting added as a player race, I'd certainly appreciate the option to transfer over to being one if they do.
My own vote, should it even matter now is for Zeltrons and Chiss. Most folks would be disappointed in those seeing as they;re just pallette shifted humans. (Maroon and blue respectively) But both races are long standing and interesting people to include. The Chiss would make an excellent warrior and spacefaring race. (IE: Grand Admiral Thrawn) And for the more social based classes, Zeltros is a legendary pleasure planet full of entertainers and the like that predates the EU and can be seen in the Marvel Comics run of SW. Wizards of the Coast has an article and short series on Zeltrons at:
