What if when you landed on the planet or when you took a shuttle to the planet you could only go to certian places on coruscant, they could do it the same way they did it in KOTOR.
they didnt do coruscant in KOTOR did they?

No what they did was there was a planet like it, it was called taris and they made it in sections. So if they put it in game they would not have to do the whole planet they could just split it into sectors.
So you could have:
Astarport sector.
A shops sector where players could place shops.
A House or living sector where players could live.
A entertament sector.
Stuff like that and combat would not be alowed apart from a dueling arena.

What do you mean there would be no animals. Imagine the sewer rats the place would have. Also there would be a ton of humonoids to kill. You do have a point tho about lag

No offense, guys, but Coruscant would be a terrible idea, for gameplay, though nice for background etc. Remember, no-one except people with 4ghz machines, 1gb RAM and a 1MB connection would even be able to see the damn place, unless the devsremove all npcs, and keep ita player-inhabitied planet only. Even then, the actual role-players amongst us would take our business there, away from Coronet, to be more in keeping with the background.
Yes, it would be nice, but a damned hell dimension of lag, and bloody difficult to navigate to boot.

Look, new planets simply are not going to happen, not for awhile at least. They might add in a new planet in the future, in fact there are already a couple planets that they started working on but never finished (Tanaab even has most of the terrain finished) so they could definately add some in later. However for now they definately want to finish populating the planets we already have before creating all new ones.
Personally I agree with them. At first I thought a new planet or two would be nice, but then I realized that there's really not much to do on the planets we already have. Some planets like Endor and Yavin are just now getting interesting things for high level characters to do. It would be best to wait until we have suffecient content on what we have before creating anything new.

It would not be laggy if they only put sections of the planet in the game.
The sections or sectors would be small, the biggest would be the size of a city.
