there should be a Planet expansion pack for free from the devs.
NO charge SOE.
FREE Planets should include....
===============================
Hoth (Part of the combat revamp)
Bespin
Ord Mantell
Genousis (spelling)
Bastion (Planet full of Imperials)
Ithor (due to race playing in game now)
Duro
Borleias
Fallen (playable race :- Fallen)
Sullust
------------
Payable planets... (charge $15)
These planets all provide a playable race as well native to the planet. Except * marked planets
=======================================================================
Dagobah (Yoda's hutt and Lots of MOBS) High end planet for Jedi only? *
Coruscant (Jedi Council temple POI) *
Gamorr (Playable Race :- Gamorreans)
Kessel (Smugglers paradise)
Kuat (ship builders paradise)
Bakura (Is the reptiliian race evident during the Civil war?)
Fondor
Bothawui (playable race :- Bothans)
NO charge SOE.

It will be ages until we ever see a new expansion look how long it took them to make the so called space expansion.

I seem to remember that Earth and Beyond allowed for some planets to be explored in ships. While in space the planets were just visuals but you could fly to a waypoint (the planets 'atmosphere) and "enter" the planet. It would be cool to see some of this as well as some of the "mining" like EandB had. As for added planets/races How about the Corporate Sector, Hutt space, or Kuat Drive Yards and Faleen, or...well I would say Chiss but they don't show until later.
Another possibility is the Happan Cluster. You'd have an opportunity to take on battle dragons and nova cruisers etc.
I would also love to see some new ships. Chiss Claw craft, E-wing, an alt YT (2400 etc).
Anyway, my personal favorite ideas would be to add the Corporate Sector and KDY. Think of the possibilities for commerce and ship building.

Duro
They don't have an official homeworld.
Borleias

Falleen
No.
Sullust
I'm sure that a planet of nothing but tunnels and caves, even civilized, would appeal to a large number of people. Not. Plus, as home of Soro-Suub, there's a very very very high imperial presence.

Dagobah
No. Yoda would be here at this time, and there's not even the *vaguest* excuse to put a starport on this planet.
Coruscant(any part of it.)
No! Apart from being a multi-layered environment, it's the center of the Empire. The Imperial presence is immanent. (yes, that's right, immanent. Look it up.)

What you would do to allow ships to fly into the planet from space is make a loading zone. What you would do is get the ship close to the planet, and through some shortcut ie ctrl +L a screen would pop up asking at what waypoint you would want to land on EX: 1453,-2945,1000 (1000 would be the height that the ship would be from the actual surface,) Then, you could simply fly around or just land wherever your heart desired. For this to be semirealisitc though a new flight system would have to be made for the planetary flight. (Differnt ways of flying, like in space you can just stop and hang out floating. In the planet you would have to keep flying.) For the take off you would do generally the same thing, go up 1000 ft or however high and then do the shortcut ctrl + L and select a point to go to in space. Then you would load and be back in space. To make this realistic a cut scene would have to be used to give the full efect of leaving and entering the planet, but that wouldn't be difficult at all. Who thinks this could actually work?

I would like to see the follwoing in a future expansion:
-Added passenger ability for ground vehicles
-Usable Faction vehicles(atst, atat, tanks, etc) able to be used in battle areas with opertable guns/cannons.
-More Planets with sole purposes (pvp, factional wars, uncharted, quest, etc)
-More species to choose from at start
-EYEWEAR! [It's in the bazzar but there isn't any except the special collectors goggles!!]

how about they actually add some content to the areas that exist now instead of making more hollow eye candy?

/Agree As much as people would like an ice planet, this one just doesn't make any sense. Nothing to see here..move along, move along.
Bespin
No. Multi-layered environment.
Again I agree.
Ord Mantell
Maybe
I'd give this a yes.
Geonosis
Meh.
Might be cool but we already have the geo cave.
Bastion (Planet full of Imperials)
No.
Don't know much about it.
Ithor (due to race playing in game now)

Agree
Duro
They don't have an official homeworld.
I thought Duro was their homeworld? From what I understand though, the planet is a wasteland and they live in floating cities. (from what I remember from the NJO book series). Not very intersting.
Borleias
Meh.
Falleen
No.
Sullust

Big fat NO!!! If given the choice between this and Hoth, I'd rather see Hoth. Then again I don't want to see Hoth.
Coruscant(any part of it.)
No! Apart from being a multi-layered environment, it's the center of the Empire. The Imperial presence is immanent. (yes, that's right, immanent. Look it up.)
While I'm sure everyone would like to see this put in, the very nature of the planet is such that there is no explorable "wild life". Great for RP'ers but a waste of dev resources. Plus I doubt they'd even come close to doing it any justice.
Gamorr
Might be interesting.
Kessel
Maybe, but see Sullust. This *is* an Imperial prison planet.
For that matter so is Dathomir. I'd still like to see an instanced "spice mines of Kessel" themepark though.
Kuat
No. Imperial presence is *far* too high.
While I agree for the most part I think it would be a good choice.
Bakura
No. opponents are WAY out of timeline.
Fondor

Personally I'd love to see Nal Hutta/Nar Shaada (sp?). This would be great to see along with the smuggler revamp. Crime is abundant and this would definitely be a high level planet.
Right now we only have one Inner Rim/Core world in Corellia. A second one (Kuat, Hapes Consortium come to mind) would be nice to see.
Overall though, I think it would be better to put more resources into making the current worlds richer in content. Certain cities should be handled differently. By that I mean highly detailed with a larger sense of expanse. Coronet, Theed, one of the Tat cities come to mind. The Theed in SW Battlefront should be used as an example. It FEELS like a city. Put these cities on seperate servers (that you'd actually have to load into) and make them multi-layered. Add usable apartments with working turbolifts, etc.
All current planets should get major content additions with each having it's own unique feel. Both low and high level areas should be included on all planets. Currently there are only a few places to go to for high level content and most of those places are heavily camped (Dathomir and certain caves/pois like the geo cave, Lord Nyax, krayt graveyard).
I'd gladly pass on new planets if it meant giving space richer content like boarding parties on capitol ships, player explorable space stations, POI's with story driven content, etc.
While there's no doubt SOE will want to release another expansion, they should be working harder at fixing whats already in place. This is just my guess, but I wouldn't expect another expansion to hit until well after the CU/GCW/smuggler/et al revamps.

But pleasedo notforget... before any new content put in the expansion pack n° 2 I really would like to
seealsosome more content for the existent planet, hoping for more instanced dungeonand static quest
where you can use your brain and not only follow an arrow in the screen.I thinkwe must to have faith in
the Devs, and the news about the hiring of 20 more of them canbe thebig booster that we all are waiting
forour belovedgame.

I think Bespin might be "doable" but then again you'd probably need an upgrade for your hardware before you could go there. Basically, Bespin would work just like walking around a multi-passenger ship except you can't "pilot" it and fly it around.
I'd like to see more professions and maybe a relaxation on the skill point cap in a new expansion. The more choices people have, the less likely for there ever to be a single FOTM because it raises the odds for there being a great counter-strategy... That's assuming the GCW ever restarts.

i wana fly around the planet i think it would be really funny imagein this you are walking out in the middle of no where and run into a rebel base Then sudennly a battle starts over your head and a Tie that got shot down crashes at your feet then a decimater lands droping imp troops at the base then from behind u two novas land droping rebel troops another Tie is shot down then after the battle the wreckage of the ships are all around the base and u say to your self ?!? then keep walking
wouldnt that be great???
