soooooo so us poloticions get to control capitol ships or something..... also i think a great idea for rangers/explorers is that they can discover new planets, and then the poloticions can pay LOTS AND LOTS of money to the exploerers, and the poloticion can claim that planet, and become the governor or president or whatever.. than more polo's can come and make there own city's but they would only be mayors. u get teh idea........

This is what i think, I think only scouts or rangers should be able to go into "uncharted space" in this Uncharted space they can discover new planets! Now the ranger can either NOT tell anyone or like register it for colonozation! Now after it is registered for colonozation it can only be accesssed by a poloticion! The Poloticion can now set up a small outpost and register the planet, as lets say Kashyyk. He may then charge a fee for people to come here, and he pays a high percentage to the explorrer! The planet is now on the map just like any other planet, the only difference is the Poloticion controls the whole planet! The polotcion can also grant other polticions the ability to make More outposts, or take over his outpost, because its hard work watching over 12 outposts. When a poloticion owns a planet he is called "king" Queen" or "senator"!
Planets like Kashyyk can only hold villiages, but more advanced ones can hold more advanced citys. So this is a way Rangers, and Poloticions can become rich, its not easy by the way to find and control planets. HIGH maintenance fees, wide range to cover, PLUS most of space is just space debris and the like, uncharted territory is dangerouse! Anyway thats my two cents, feel free to contradict me.. if u understand

Ships like the Imperial Star Destroyers, Corellian Corvettes, and Mon Cal Cruisers. I know theres no chance of them being pilotable but will they be in game? I would get bored real fast if all ships were just small fighters and some slightly larger transports.

Yes, capital ships are in the JtL, I can only assume you'll be able to attack them. I don't know about the Mon Cal Cruisers. I haven't heard anything about their existence in JtL, yet.

as i said before, i wish a guild mayor could buy a capitol ship and only guildies could go in it, and certain people with the mayor permision could drive it. and all the guildies could man the turrets. and the mayor could buy some npc pilots that could come out of it. that would rock my world

they should exsist, i beleive Mon cal cruisers were originally giant transports before teh rebellion put them into use as warships, so they should be around in the time frame the game is set in. Now the devs knowing that chunk of info is a whole other story.

Well, if B-Wings are in the game during this time period I'm sure they can make room for the cruisers. Again, I'm just said I haven't heard anything about them, *yet*. I'm not in beta, so I don't know for sure if they are in or if they plan to put them in. I'm certain they'll eventually make it into the game.

I know that we can't own capitol ships and pilot them or anything like that, but just how much interaction with them will we have? Will our only interaction with capitol ships be atting/defending them, or will it be more than that?

Look out! the answer to that could violate the NDA! With JTL 16 days away SOE can't have Beta testers leaking this kind of information!

Heh, just wondering if it had been released elsewhere and I missed it.

I doubt it'll ever happen but...
It would be cool if ships such as the corvette was your mission target, but to capture it you needed a boarding party of players who could enter the vette after their ship docks with it. That would add a level of immersion you beyond simply blowing it up.

You can already board the corvette in the live gamebut if JTL will bring more to this I do not know...
