Wow, a lot of negative feedback.


Oh and if you think it's impossible for ships to fly in planet and have non-SE users to see them, it's possible. Something we call uh...what's it again? OH YEAH updates!

i nearly shat myself when i saw those screenshots.


i will never doubt those devs again if they.....


1. Allow more than one player to enter certain Spacecraft


2. Make player city starports


3. Being able to drop stuff in Spacecraft (so you can have like a drug workshop in the backroom or something =) )


4. Taking off from Spaceport and entering space seemlessly... atmospheric fighting (awesome to see a dogfight right above you and stray shots are hittting the groud around you)


5. If/when theres a pilot proffession maybe when the player gets enough skill in Piloting they can land anywhere on any planet (without a spaceport) but only for a certain amount of time. (allowing rebels to form squad's in the wild not in a populated area (city).


6. and of course space stations =)


just suggestions.... cnat wait till tommorow when the devs said they would release even more scrrenies!

Wasn't the Star Wars terminology "Making the Jump to Hyperspace" vs. "Jump to Lightspeed"?


I may be wrong... Just as long as it isn't "Ludicrous Speed" or "Going Plaid".

I think it would be cool if we could have voice chat(or we can always use team speak) imagine flying in formation with your guild mates attacking a SD or somthing.Really cool i just dont want to have to type in stuff when im doing all of that yaknow.If it's twitch in real time fighting then you have to have a mic to really have a blast.And second i know the date this is coming out.Whenever world of warcraft says it's going to come out we will see space exp within a few weeks.It seems that whenever one mmorpg gets ready to go live or ends beta (note city of heroes is about to go live)then we get info or some kind of news heck all the old mmorpgs get somthing kinda like to say (hey im here still dont go try anything else)



Oh yeah i think this is gonna be awesome i hope there is more to do that just dogfight everybody gets tired of that from time to time.I mean id like to go way out and find a hidden base and get off and fight too .But i cant wait twitch and crazy dogfights all the way.

The devs have already said there will not be atmospheric flight

"The circle is now complete. When I left you I was but a learner, now I am the master."



YEA for SE!!! This will definatly complete SWG. This is what I have been telling folks who are leaving or who want to leave... We have been playing an incomplete game. When SE comes out, maybe some of my old buds will come back!

If the SE is going to be "twitch" based, can we have an assurance that the servers will be upgraded first? Anyone care to play a twitch game with the kind of server lag we currently experience on Dantooine / Coronet?







Well, i dont think we will have the lag like we do on planets mostly because your computer will mot have to worry about many things when your in space. For instance, in space you dont have to render terrain (except a few asteroids and a few moons), masses of creature spawns(well we will have spawns of ships and space creatures, but not on the scale of what is on the planets), and other things that can lag a computer(ie. water, trees, cities, nerdy NPC's, etc.). When you think about it, there will be less things your computer will have to worry about so there shouldnt be lag.


Now if you have a really outdated computer that is barely playing the original game, then you might have a problem.

when are we going to see some nice animated sequenses to replace the load screens as a segway to our destination?

THis might solve a lot of the..... geting into your ship in the sat port hanger Vs pulling it out of you DP and watching the loadup bar move. As a low tech compromise

Kevm, no matter how many times this is repeated, people refuse to read it or acknowledge it. They don't understand the issues involved in atmospheric flight and the horrendous server lag it would create.

Ok, the datapad thing is lame, and a half-cocked way to do something. Obviously they are trying to hurry this out. But I can deal with it I suppose.

But Space Expansion to me will be utterly pointless if you can't have more then one person per ship, you can't walk around your ship, and you can't place things in your ship. And I don't see any of this happening because we can't do that with anything we put in our datapad now. I will wait till SE comes out, but personally, if it does not have these features, I can't see myself playing SWG anymore as I have been holding out for the SE with hope of these features, and soley for that reason.

We all know that TIE Fighters and X-Wings will be in the game, but how about some screen shots of ships that are new or not as well known. I want to see the Hutt pirate fighters and such.

I'm also not sure twitch is a good thing... the main reason I'm able to play SWG is bacuse of skill based combat and the Queue. If SE is only minimal twitch, I might be able to handle it.
