Its been said over and over, I'll say it again.

Allow non-JTL users to travel in MP ships. Don't allow them to man stations - but being able to see space might help boost sales.

Actually no Kashyyyk isnt dominated by the empire at this time, or ever. Nobody was ever able to actually deal with the wookiees on their home turf. The trandoshans failed miserably repeatedly and even when the trandoshan convinced the empire to help them they were not succesful in occupying or controling the planet. The best the imp/trando coalition could do was bloackade the planet and send in hunting teams for very brief missions to the surface to gather wooks for slaves, and the vast majority of these were children, females and old wooks as the adult males were to fierce and operated in large packs to repel invaders. The loss of manpower and equipment was too great for anyone to commit to the surface for to long. So this works perfectly with the situation as is described so far for the expansion. Small camps and outposts dotting the surface. Should be alot of fun 8)

I also think Kashyyyk should only be accessible via JTL and manual flying.. no travel option. Kashyyyk was under imperial blockade at the time and landing on the planet should be an adventure just as it will be to be on the surface.

Everyone uppon landing attempt should go through some kind of security scan. You could bring with your group a smuggler perhaps to bribe the station, or maybe a Trandoshan pilot can give the group landing access. Imperials should be able to land at will too... Imperials with high rank.

SWG originally cost $50. Today you can buy the main game plus JTL for $40. I dont see a reason for people not to buy JTL. Of coarse if this is the case then ROTW box cover should read: "Star Wars Galaxies AND Jump to Lightspeed required to play"... but then again they will release a compilation package which should probably cost $50.

As interesting as this may seem on paper I don't think it' sfair to in some way exclude those who do not have JTL from content.

I do agree that a space port, per se, shouldn't be here. More like the ports on Dath or in Nym's station. Small ones. Or even smaller. But, intergalactic travel to Kashyyyk should exist for those without JTL.

I do like the idea of the new missions, of course and docking and landing. I think that should be in SWG anyway even without the expansion.




The release info states that JTL is required I believe.
If that's the case, I think it would be great for the only way to reach the new sector would be by actual space travel.

I agree...it would be much more fun if we had to launch to travel to another planet. The people who want nothing to do with space can just stick with the safe shuttle system.

Taken from horses mouth.






And Jump to Lightspeed COMES with ROW. Put no Spaceport access on Kashyyyk because no non-JTL players will be going there!

Ok, so for a user such as myself, with SWG and JTL, will I have to buy RotW? I am assuming yes, but if I do, will I be getting a version of JTL too? I mean, wouldn't it be overkill in having an extra JTL around?

Just wanted to add a little history on why the travel feature was put in. Originally in JTL beta there was no "travel" option. To travel with your ship you had to do it all manual. But the problem with that was people would fill up the space zones just to travel and cause allot of lag in space. There is an actual hard cap on how many people can go into a space zone and until they put in travel option you got the message something like: "Zone is full, try again later".

Shhhhhh your gonna get Flamed!!!!!! STOP STOP STOP.....


Seriously, i am just pointing out the immaturity of this forum. CU is soon to be released, we get some type of content as a bonus for the movie release, dont even know if we are paying yet because it is unclear as of yet and people are just crying. Im sorry for offending but this is just my observation.


Oh and the guy who agreeded with me, I agree with his statement! Let the people that want to travel safely travel by shuttle. Only thing, the shuttle should cost some time. But speaking for the space travel, If you have a ship you should be flying the damn thing. Space should be an avenue of travel not an option!

Simple solusion....don't use the option to travel. I never do, unless its to meet up with someone in a hurry, and as a Rebel I can't land on Dath., so the only option is to travel or use the shuttle system. I really can't believe that the new expansion has just been anounced and there are people compalining about....sad sad sad.

Its not that simple really. Everyone will venture the path of least resistance, its a law of nature.


Would you take an elevator to the 9th floor everyday or take the stairs?


The point I am trying to make is its just not realistic. The whole adventure of traveling by space is ruined because everything in this game is being handed to the player base in a silver platter. Turning down the shuttle times though a welcomed change did not have to be changed to 1 minute. What is the point of having a ship at all? Multiplayer ships right now have absolutly no use what so ever. What is the purpose of a YT 1300? To act as a guide in space? The thing sucks in battle as well, I just use it to loot items for its large carbo bay. other then that its a waste of game, hard disk space, and money at this point in time. I want it to be useful, taking people places they need to go, traveling through space and escaping when riding solo! I want the adventure of what space has to offer and id love for this galaxy to be larger then what it seems.


Right now you can travel to every single planet in a matter of 6 minutes. Does that seem right to anyone?


I have played this game for the longest time now. Beta 3 as a matter of fact and I would love for this game to improve realistically. But people will cry and argue because its convinient. Space travel and traveling to a planet should be dangerous. Space is dangerous, but when you circumvent space travel then its all just a waste.....


i would have rather seen the CU released first instead of this JTL expansion as it was just a waste of time. Though I love it, it serves no purpose ingame. That is why they are adding the mining capabilities. But still it serves no purpose... Why use a Multiplayer ship? To use it as an XP bus?
