Five stars, Valorum, very good point. Many of the points in this forum are very good and on the money. I don't think there's any reason to not allow it to be used in the FS grind, and if you're that concerned that it will just increase the pace to getting to Jedi, just nerf the conversion ratios even more. Otherwise, after people master pilot and there's not much else for them to do, what's going to keep them flying in space?
If the dev's are as intent on melding the space and ground games, then this should be implemented.

JTL and FS should be two completely different things, and should never touch each other. Unfortunately, FS Luck will play a part in space loot.
The more FS has to do with JTL, the more fire-power jedi will have to their request to be special in space, too.
Pray to the holy gaming gods that never happens....

Amazing how people try to turn a "we can do the same thing but have fun" (grind fs xp) into an evil "jedi must be uber in space"...
No one here claimed to have jedi powers in space, that would completely ruin JtL... That's not because you can grind FS xp in space, and because FS xp is required to become, one day, jedi, that it will lead to give jedi any more powers...
Okay, I was calm. Please reciprocate.
I never said that anyone mentioned that. I merely said it would give the jedi "firepower for their argument", and we all know how the devs fold to the jedi.

Well, devs don't especially follow the jedi, they just follow who moans the more... I know jedi often have first prize, but not only... In fact, evert stupidthing and was asked by players -_-
And the same players still moan after that :/ You saw what happened with kessel, just because it COULD potentially be difficult if there were players in, they asked to remove it... But no worries, non-jedi are a lot more than lighstick guys, and they will moan too much if jedi had an advantage... Devs are not stupid, they won't make angry 95% of the players and risk to lose them

No one is arguing that Jedi should have special powers in space, and I seriously doubt the dev's will buckle and give them powers in space. With the major rehauls of the GCW and combat coming up, I think nothing could be farther from their minds.
I'm merely stating that the game needs to be integrated, and most importantly, I think we can all agree the FUN factor needs to be boosted overall in the game. The ground grind for FS experience, or any other experience for that matter, is a mind-numbing bore, so what's the problem with doing it in space and at least having a little challenge? How is that condoning magical Jedi powers?

No one really knows, I think they should make starship the end all be all converter. That way crafters and non crafters can unlock whatever tree they want. Mind you the converstion should be high because of this mabey 50:1 or more. But it still would alow more customization, and really just be cool for those of us who love space grinding more than ground.

Didn't think about allowing it for all kind of FS xp... Well, why not, after all... But maybe not crafting, unless you have a flying dustbin... erm, i mean an YT
5 stars for more fun factor in the game, it's all about it People always moan about so and so, but everyone forgets the fun... PVP in the ground game and in space have the same problem, it's not fun, because you have nothing to gain or to lose... Only duel are fun, because you gain honor, and player skill, at a lower level...

I'd love an answer without having to make another of these moaning petitions that can be found every 2 posts, often about the same topic that has already a petition in the same page -_- (yeah, i aim you, turret-locking guys :lightsaber
Else... Thanks everyone for joining our just cause
Should find a nice slogan, like "Grinding is not pissing" of "Space column (FS column, of course) for more fun"...

There are so few real request to make the game better... Without making it easier because we don't want it difficult for us but want the other to have it hard, or because someone can play better than you and you think it's unfair, so you cry until his prof get nerfed...
This will only make it more fun... And it's easy to code... Come on, devs, do it Or at least start by answering

Well well well...
Nothing changes...
Do people ever read posts, or do they always make a new one to complain ? ^_^
Hope we get an answer from someone official...
I definitely think ratio should be within 30:1 and 50:1...

I'd like that very much. With the right conversion rate there would be no imbalance. I enjoy JTL a lot and if I could 'play' (instead of grind on the ground) towards the big goal Jedi at the same time it would be awesome.

Finally someone listening
Cap would be a problem, I admit... But not a major one... Making a trip to aurilia is not a big deal, but it would suck to convert enough xp for a full branch at once...
