Thread: I WANT MORE SPACE STUFF TO DO!!!!
Really needs more factions in space.
I dont mean just Rebels & Imperials, but pirates (Jabba, etc) or even the simple functionality to be able to disabled a craft, board it, kill the crew, steal the cargo and sell it on the black market
Im a big fan of freedom of choice in any game, and Space is the biggest place to have freedom, but it seems that were forced into Rebs Kill Imps, Imps Kill Rebs and Neutrals kill either.
It would be really cool to gain a reputation in space as a law man or a pirate, so that some space stations wont let you dock, or the Imperials increase thier presence at some places.
I know that alot of our suggestions pritty much point in the direction of 'Wait for Elite 4' but if you could combine all the best elements of the 'Elite' series and the story of Star Wars, im sure that you cant go far wrong with JTL.
Personally I would like the ability to live in my POB ship, and be able to log outin proximity to a space station or relatively safe space sector (at my own peril of course), or to be able to log out dockedwith aspace station with any of my smaller ships. I think it would be awesome to log out in my VT or YT or Nova, and log in and immediately be able to fly of when I log into the game again, and see other player ships around me and have the ability to go visit them, by simply looking up their docink bay number!
I would also like smuggler be granted to option to "soup" ships up, by modifying the components, AS the shields and armour, and WS the weapons systems. That would bring back a certain community structure to the feel of the game.
I have been hankering after some high end missions which might involve being pursued by another POB ship or a small fighter not unlike the chase in episode 2! It would be awesome to fly through an asteroid enabling our lights, even if it meant slowing down the speed and taking a bit more hit damage, because along with this this I would like to see a small amount of collision damage. That would sort the pilots out, showing of your skills as to who took less collision damage!
I truly love the idea of docking with space stations, and being able to trade looted components or loot (that should be implemented in space - CARGO) to junk dealers or collectors, and hanging out in the cantina on the space port. Imagine docking with a space staion similar in design to the Mustafar ground mining facility, where there are NPC's moving about and interacting with their environment,
(I am thinking especially of the disgruntled tourists in the mining facility lol.)
It would also be truly awesome to pick up space BH missions, that might or might not have a ground component involved, and finally I would love to see the correllian corvettes be spaced based in TOTAL. In other words, you have to launch from a star port, get past a few minor defences from the CC itself, dock, and infiltrate the ship.....
.....LIKE WE WERE SHOWN AT FAN FEST!!!!!
But I guess this this is not going to happen, as we are not the economy drivers in game.
Still, it would be so cool.....................

I wholeheartedly agree but I think that the sad act is that Jedi outnumber us pilots about 10 to 1 and so that is where the market is for adding new content. I've always loved space. Hell, I -live- in Deepspace and well, space in general when I'm ingame. I had an idea I posted for a system which was basically just a bunch of asteroids with landable 'city' style areas on them. Some asteroids would be dungeons like the Death watch bunker and the general architecture for this system would make an ideal place for pvp events and maybe even a racing obstacle course for pilots where the inhabitants of the cities would look up (I'd have the citys have large glass domes to keep atmosphere in) and be able to see starfighters zipping aroudn etc.
Now that kind of idea would cater for everyone, not just pilots. Don't ask me how pheasable it is though.
Everyone is a pilot... not everyone is a jedi... i think you don't know what you're talking about, or you cleverly made a good point by being sarcastic.
which i think is cool but it would b awsome to enter space stations and stuff and maybe instead of havin the super star destroyer as part of a space zone as some of u have suggested have it in the backround, less lag that way, plus it is like 4-5 km long
