Ok here are my questions, I'll put them all together...
1) I think I read somewhere that if you run into a asteroids or space stations,you will nottake any damage. Not a good idea, if I got 3 eyeballs chaseing me, one of my strategies will be to try to get them to fly into each other, into asteroids or what ever space junk I can find to hide behind. Of course a glanceing little bump my only mess up your cool paint job, but a head on at 100 kps would not be a good idea.
2) Will we besusceptible to friendly fire, as this is twitch based and requires skill to fly, one skill would be not to shoot your wing mate, and again this would be another of my many strategies, to try to get them to shoot each other, this may not work so well in PVE, computer ai's are usually smarter than that, but in PVP this would separate the rookies from the vet.'s.
and last but not least
3)Will the flight dynamics be as they were in the xwing titles, ie. atmospheric (like WW II dogfighting), even in space; or will it use space (no gravity, no wind, no nothing)flight dynamics ?

At this point ships cannot collide and recieve damage but their is an explosion and sound effects for it .. and I'm not sure where you got the info on the asteroids from cause I have always seen them say that all environmental things WILL cause damage to your ship incuding asteroids space station collisions and some types of nebulae
I read somewhere that if a person leaves the pilot seat of the multiplayer yt-1300 then it will come to a halt ... this may be only a specific example or it might mean that all craft will slow down and stop if no input is being recieved ... but this should be clarrified.

I don't know whats wrong with me these past few day's, Han did not ram Vader, he shot at him. One of Vaders wingman cliped him, wouldn't have been able to sleep tonight if I didn't correct myself.

Love the idea about faction pets in space. Would be cool to have a space version of like creature handler but with ship where you could board and take over NPC ships and use them as pets.

You are 100% correct about the asteriods, after I made that post I was browsing around and saw the area of my ways.Still I hope,at least, if youcollide with another ship you loose control for a few seconds(like Vader did after Han ramed him), I forsee lots of complaints about this, not by me I will deal with what ever comes out and still luv it. I think I see the reason for this at publish 'cause there wil be lots fo pep's with no skillflying around, and bumping into each other.

I have already asked this question on the JTL forum, however i would be interested to see if there would be a response from a DEV on it. My one question-
1)Will I be able to fly with my guild mates and have PVP guild battle with my YT-1300.
I have read all of your responses from the origional post and it sounds promising, thanks! 
http://forums.station.sony.com/swg/board/message?board.id=lightspeed&message.id=70780is the original post.
I know there are others out there with the same idea.

I am not a dev, but I read somewhere that each faction will have its verson of the YT-1300, so I would say yes, but wait hummmmmm, If those grouped with you bord your YT-1300 how can they get into their ships, hummmm maybe you can group in space...of well instead of answering you I just made more questions.....

I know the game is twitched based, but I was wondering if Ranged Modifiers like Ranged Accuracy and Ranged Defensewill play into things. I'm currently working on making my character into a FS Pilot. I'm starting to make my template now and am wondering if I should pick up Ranged Accuracy as one of my skills. Any info would help. Thanks...

So anyone know what happens when you build a house on a warped foundation? It sinks! Well maybe our current Live issues should be handled before we launch JTL! I know making money is what it is about but I have issues that are handled with generic emails from CSR who cries they are to busy I am only posting so much because devs only read a small percentage of what is written over the course of a day! My friend Bizo has cancled his his alt tiove and his main bizo will go if I do he has said! I have 2 toons also and only one is bugged yet CSR blames client side trouble. Well I hate to tell inform you but client side would affect both toons. The ironic thing here is that the problem started when they fixed another bug I had. It is time to focus to many people let this slide and I have to say I was also at fault there to but I have had enough. My alt epoo has till the end of the month and my main has 2 months.

Nope. These RPG based skills will not come into play.

If I could give you a 5 stars, I would right now.
