Any presence of ships parked on the ground, would enhance the "Star wars-ish" feel to the game, even if you don't have the JTL expansion. Just like seeing a ship shaped house. It also provides the non-jtl players a peek at the coolness of ships, and perhaps get them to pony up the credits for the JTL kit.
As it stands right now, non-jtl enabled playes can see Shipwrights, components (although with a more generic art), the two new species, and JTL npcs. It all just helps with the emmersion. And whats Star Wars without a ship now and then...you don't have to leave the planet to see one now!
This new code could also enhance ground based professions. A scout may not have JTL, but might have the ability to place a landing coordinate for a ship in the field, for instanced. My idea of a two pronged attack, one on the ground, and one in space, is another perfect example. You can participate in the ground attack against the base, while hoping the space flight squadron comes through to delay the reinforcements from landing.
Anything added to colour the galaxy, is welcome to everyone. JTL or not.

Agreed, and in addition to thatwhat manydon't seem to understand is that changes and issuesthat seem very minor to most players in game can very easily be a coding nightmare for the programmers who maintain SWG. Many of thechanges suggested by creative playerssound really great but will very likelynever happen in the forseeablefuture since the programmers will be very busy for quite a while with the major changes planned for the combat upgrade, profession changes, and GCW revamp.

You can land directly at the Retreat, you just need to do the mission from Naboo station to get permission...

Would so love this to happen, but I doubt it would ever work. I need this for some of my Imperial Iquisitorial Missions. You know how much of a pain in the rear it is to fly from a major starport to the closest player city and then swoop the rest of the way to the Emperor's Retreat. I mean I guess it wasn't too bad for the first mission, but I can tell that it will be a major pain in just a few more missions doing that. Please get this idea out so at least something more convenient can happen.
