Be Cool too if the "collectors Edition" people got some more cool in game items as well

Hehe. Yeah, if you buy the *NEW* collectors edition.

People who bought the CE of the Land Version got their glasses, and that's it.

You can bet your bottom credit that there will be a "collectors edition" package with simmilar features to the last one (patch, maybe book, and in-game item).

Personally, I'll just wait until the SE gets discounted on Amazon - picked up the CE of the land version for $29.95 awhile back, just to get the book.

More then one person will be able to on a ship. Thats a fun part. But I think (not sure) if they decide to add Rebel Blockade Runners (Rebel Modified Correlian COrvette) it will come with reb npcs and will be very cool. Be ready with tons of credits though cause crafters will be unfortunatly procin stuff really high. maybe if your on Shadowfire you wont have to save millions and millions. I'm planning on becoming a ship builder and selling ships for low prices. Anyway its going to be multiple person per ship. Though it doesnt have to you can get off the planet with 1 im just saying you can have alot of people on. Not sure if theres going to be a limit proably one like only 10 players per ship. Would depend on ship.

Where did you get this information? Unless I see a link to a dev conversation I'm not believing it.

I am really excited about the SE! I will probably weigh in about controls and all that later, because I have one concern.

I know this probably cannot be changed really quickly or maybe at all...but the TIE Fighters in the screen have....one engine!

TIE == Twin Ion Engines

Anyway, just an observation! Otherwise, it looks killer!!!!!!!!!!!

I just bought a new joystick so bring it on. The only thing I'm confused about in the conversation is"over 15 ships." Does this mean 15 ship types (fighter, freighter, transport, luxury, rebel, imp, etc) or we have 15 ships we can choose from and retrofit as wanted or needed?

Overall I'm sure it'll kick ass on several different levels.

Ok, I read all ten pages.

And NO ONE mentions space mining?

I don't necessarily want Eve-style asteroid pounding, but c'mon, we've got drop-and-go harvesters on the ground. Are we going to be able to go prospecting for promising rocks with veins of precious ores in them? Upon which we can then drop a harvester to mechanically metabolize said rock?

This is very exciting. Not really big news, since other interviews together gave about the same information.

I too would have liked to load into a "space" version of the starport, that you can then take off from into space. Its kind of atmospheric flight, but not in the same engine with the ground version, and nothing else is loaded except a lower polly version of the port and city. LOD would then get rid of that when you get into actually space. Landing would basically be the oposite, having waypoints for all the landing spots, and when you get close enough to one you 'land'.

Look, What you guys gotta understand is the DEVS are doing there best to comply with making an outstanding Space Expansion In record Time. Remeber, Its alot of bugs Scripts loading it onto the Login. It takes more than Liting a match and burning it out. Thats most of the stuff you people don't understand. Were talking about experianced people making this thing a reality. Not to mention That all our complaining against "Oh my god!!" "I just got Smacked by a NPC Because my LCC Woun't fire!" "I know it gotta be a bug!" So all our complaing plus Making an Expansion ain't easy. lemme tell you. Let them take there time and create a game worth enjoying

Love Is but a desprite attemp for happyness in a Desert of Hate.

So, with the ships being player crafted we can expect what...??? that theyll cost around 30 to 40 million credits and no one in the game will be able to afford them. So we go out spend a bunch of cash on the expansion, hope to god its not buggy, have our monthly rates increased, and then cant even fly because we cant afford to purchase a ship in game. That sounds pretty good to me, where do i sign up?

I guess through the sarcasm im trying to say, lets not ruin the economy on this one. Make it so that everyone can afford a good ship when the time comes. Everyone and their dog will be buying this expansion, but for the few that dont or cant afford to, will they still be able to play with those that have purchased it? How is all that gonna work...im scared I know, i know wait til tomorrow and hopefully the questions will be answered.
