I have wanted to see Gungans be a possible choice of aoptional character species (exp. Rodian, Zaberak, Wookie, etc.)for SWG ownersto be, along with biths for several months now and would love to see them be the new playable species in JTL. I have heard other people wanting Gungans in SWG as a patch or in JTL, but reading through this post I descovered that someone else wanted to see biths in JTL

Also all the people wanting to keep SWG close to the movies and the EU wouldn't enjoy having pod racing put in. Pod racing has been banned by the imperials, that is why racers are no longer held.

if there was pod racing, bikes would have to be redone, as they are all the same speed

Hey don't diss pod racing! Jake Lloyd didn't say a word during the entire pod racing scene, so how can super fast chariot races of death be bad?


Incidentally cloning is outlawed, and according to the SWG manual guns as well. As an officer of the imperial army I would be more than happy to look the other way if you set up a pod racing circuit, as long as you compensated me well.


EDIT: Oops, forgot to add my opinion on races.


Anyway, hope SOE doesn't take the easy route and use another race with the same body model. I'd like to see dugs, or toydarians, or ithorians, or hutts. Just something different. Maybe ugnauts!

A quick question about the new species. Does anyone know if we'll have the option to change our current charicter or do we have to make a new one to be the new species?

I believe it'll be Sullustan, definately. I doubt the Chiss, though. Ithorians are likely, as are Biths.



Personally, I'd like to see Sullustans and Gungans. I've wondered what a female gungan looks like.

Personally, I don't want to see Chiss as a playable species ... they're not"supposed" to exist ... no one knows about them except the Emperor and Thrawn's officers ... I was mad that there were two Chiss in Mos Eisley and that Thrawn was on Naboo ... Thrawn was in the Unknown Regions at this time, and the rest of the Chiss are in their own little Empire out there as well ... there shouldn't be any in-game... /endrant


I hope to see Sullustans and Duros, myself...

On the star wras database is tells you dugs have a humanoid build.http://www.starwars.com/databank/species/dug/index.html. They have got a snout like rodians, they have fin like ears that woudnt be hard to make, and the way they walk, well that would be easy for the devs. So if they have a humanoid builde why is it hard to make anamations too?


The devs said that the new species will have been in the movies and a fan favourite. Dug fits that category just fine i think


Thanks

Bah, enough speculating, when the hell do we hear what the new species will actually be? They have had to be planned for months, we all saw which species we were getting in the initial release well before it went gold.

Oh.. think how cool.. Tweaking your bike, changing part.. making it faster.. changing turbo, change fuel type etc... See who manage to make the fastest bike!!


Of course, tweaking would mean exploding vehicles! !!! Oh the joy! I want this!
