Yep, it's definitely part of why I'm not looking at JtoL, because for all the talk about it being the 'missing part' of Galaxies, in fact it sounds more and more like an entirely separate game with very little overlap with Galaxies.
Send me a memo when I can de-orbit my Lambda shuttle and park it out behind my house. Starships from the datapad just doesn't pass the laugh test.

ok im now going to state the #1 reason you cant do atmospheric flight.... because its alrdy laggy on the planet for players, having more huge ships fly around will make it very laggy, resulting in lots of server shutdowns, This is just something thats not possable to feature in the game unless they get a new Server client, I mean a whole new MACHINE to run the game...

Oh yeah, and to run the servers on a new machine they would half to shut down all the servers for like a month... meaning no more SWG for anyone for a long time... something that will lose a ton of customers

Welll...the main reason that there can't be atmostpheric flight is because they would have to put terrain in. This would surely create a terrible amount of lag and it would suck. Pretty straight forward...
