I had several questions:


first it seems that you are reinforcing again the kill/level treadmill as you dont seem to have mining or merchanting as viable advancement options?


can a shopwright also be a pilot or are they stuck with one or the other?


I plan to completely tear apart my existing charactorto agressivly meet any requirements of the space expansion even as far as deleting my main char and starting from scrach I am forced to do this simply because we only have 1 charactor in which we can play with our friends and still be on the same server. is there any plans to allow for 2-3 charactors per server like test?

I have a question that probably a lot of us are wondering, with JTL being a "twitchy" style combat game, are there any plans to counter "lag" with people with 56k dialup, and other slower internet ISP's?



It is a real pain on games to have to "lead" a target. For example, to hit a moving target normally, like with cable, or DSL, you would have to aim 10 meters in front of the target. But with 56k dialup for example, you would have to aim 50 meters in front of the target, to make up for the internet lag, to hit the target, and by that time, the target has already moved, but it doesn't show it on my computer yet, so I end up missing it.


ANY info on this would be appreciated!

Wow great, other than HL2 Im waitin for the SE pack to come out!

2 questions.

I know there are 56k users will they be able to play the SE Pack effectively?

And 2.

Will there be more skill points added? For example for some templates that are near full for instance MBH/medic. With only 18 points left how will we be able to master the neutral piloting tree.
(I have taken from the info that there will be added skill points, however a yes or no would be appreciated.

I apologize if this has already been asked, but, what will the travel times be between planets?

And will people want to go in a falcon and lounge around while they travel to Lok for [insert travel time] when they could buy an instant ticket from the existing setup?


I'm not raining on the parade, I'm just curious what the insentive will be, once the novelty has worn off, of traveling this way versus buying instant tickets? If the travel time is less than a starport time, then one one hand its worthwhile to get somewhere quicker, but not enough time to enjoy the trip. If its longer, then it makes the travel cool the first couple of times, but in the end, people will buy an instant ticket.


Or is the Falcon group thing only available when traveling to certain areas of space?

Yeah I got the game 10 days after initial release. (I was on vacation when it firstcame out /cry). Hope I get into beta! Looks great, thanks for all the information. This has been the best reporting job in SWG history IMHO.

My question:

Is the weapon art on the X-Wings final yet? Because the X-Wing with the Beam Rifles on the wings (http://www.lucasarts.com/games/swgalaxies_lightspeed/images/concept_art/3.jpg ) is killing me just looking at it, I don't want to see it in game!

Geez, I go to work and look what happens . . . .


I just need to ask the devs to PLEASE, seriously, don't just take the TC folks in the first round. You have a lot of extremely active players out there who have dedicated their time to the live game, not because they don't want to test, but because they had responsibilities to their PA's, cities, etc.; others counting on them to be on their active server. I know of five on Scylla alone who were in your initial Beta, became PA leaders/Mayors, and have since retired in the past month or two and are raring to go for the next Beta test. Just because people aren't on TC a lot doesn't mean they aren't out there every day working to make your game better, and they should have an equal chance for the first shot.

ok, so atmospheric flight is coming, just not in the near future. right? I was really hoping for atmospheric flight to be a reality. I just want to be sure that it is planned. Not nessesary right away, just that it is going to happen sooner or later. I mean no rush.
