id like to see ships being able to take off or at least deploy on top of guild halls. those big empty roofs ought to be used for something.


Indeed .... I want my Imperial Shuttle parked in the back yard with 24x7 probot & storm commando security patrols, not stored in a freakin' calculator ....

The engines on the TIE fighter are in the wrong place. You have exhaust coming out of an access hatch. The T.I.E. fighter (twin ion engine) has two small engines on either side of the sphere not in the center.

The one thing I want to know... and have always wanted to know. Is will we be able to walk around inside our ships (the larger ones)?

And another topic.


I know the overwhelming attitude is that we need a seperate pool of skill points for 'space' related professions. A part of me thinks this is bad. I kinda find it lame for you to have a master rifleman/master doctor/master pilot. I'd think it better to have to decide whether one being mostly space or mostly ground, or a mix in between.


You don't need to be uber in both realms.







I agree to a certain extent, but being a master BH...I don't have enough skill points left over to do much of anything. So as far as that goes, I would rather it be a separate pool of points.


But hey, what's life without difficult choices I'm not too worried about it, well figure it out when the expansion get's here.

Heh, that's an echo of a larger problem. I hate to point to the movies as a reference, but, I'm assuming Boba Fett wasn't a master pilot, but he was a master BH.


But I do understand and feel for you. I think those 33 extra skill points for master BH's is an issue unto itself.

I have been wanting something like x-wing vs tie online for a really really long time and this Expansion is just that.This is the DECIDING factor to me if to quit SWG and go to WoW or keep playing SWG. If the expansion is anything like X-Wing vs Tie Fighter this will be THE BEST GAME EVER!!!!!! Just keep it twichy and use the controls from XvT.Thisexpansion looks AWESOME !!!!


And to you people out there who don't want the expansion to be twich based then get the **** away from the expansion and go to ****. Also please don't use any ships from Episode I and Episode II because those movies are a mockery of Star Wars.

All I know is that Ive been excited about the Space Expansion, or now Jump to Lightspeed, since I first started playing the game at launch. I think that it looks great and will be very fun to play (big fan of twitch Xwing vs Tie Fighter). As the guild leader of <HTE> on BloodfinI hope to see my entire guild outfitted with Imperial Ships. As far as the capital ship command...I could have sworn that I read we would be able to control Nebulon-B Frigates but I could be wrong. I really hope that we will be able to walk around inside of the ships and transport other passengers, and I think they have previously stated that this would be possible but difficult. As far as I know other Multiplayer online games have had it in the past, such as PlanetSide and Allegiance, so it IS possible. The devs have stated that they will in the future have passengers in vehicles so Im pretty sure we will have them in JTL, but probably not at release. Anyways I am really excited at this and am looking forward to going to Fan Fest to be able to sign up for the Beta.

Unlike many of you I think there's a pretty good chance that larger ships WILL have an actual interiro you can move around in.


When you people assume there won't be, it's because you compare these ships to regular vehicles and such wich had the problem of people "falling" off cause of lag.


See with the space expansion you don't have to see the player in the ship from the outside, and even if you do. it just has to be the player model of the pilot "stuck" in there.


While the inside of the ship can be an entirely different and "private" zone on the servers, like instanced missions.

or the Apartments in Anarchy Oline, people who get on your ship fora ride, they're simply "teleported" to a separate zone that is ONLY The inside of your ship. then they're simply for the rest of the world tagged as being aboard that there freighter or whatever

The screens are very pretty, were do I sign up for beta?


My top info to be released would be:


New Professions


Jedi's Role in Space


List of those 'more than 15 ships'


New Species, including playable ones


General idea of the resources it will take to make such ships


And a special write up of the Mon Cal starfighter usable only by Mon Cals that I am sure you put into this expansion as death threats from many many fish would be unsettling, to say the least.
