I'd love to see the third faction be "Black Sun". I know some neutrals wouldn't want to be associated with a Criminal syndicate, but Black Sun is the farthest reaching shadow organization SW Universe has, so much that those in its employ often arent even aware of it. They also have a rank system already set up.

It may also eventually open the door to incorporate some Falleen type ships like Xixor's fo rthe faction.

as I understood it in the universe TIE fighters had the capabilities to hold hyperdrives and shields, the empire just didnt want to spend money on that,. The TIE interceptors though were upgraded with shields I believe.

STEP BY STEP GUIDE: DEFEATING A COMMANDO

Ok, I sifted through 17 pages and I'm pretty sure I didn't see this question.

Say you're a passenger on a 1300. Will there be ANY type of command to somehow get off it? I can see a form of griefing occuring if not.

Example:

Pilot takes a group of 5-10 people in space and says "Haha, I trapped you all!" then leaves the program running for 10 hours. (Usinga simple macro to get around the auto-disconnect)

Are toons going to get "trapped" in space like this or will there be a way out?

And not necessarily griefing, but what happens if the pilot get disconnected or suddenly has to leave? (i.e. house is on fire etc...) Will people be stuck in the ship until he logs back on or will it auto-boot them to the last starport they were at?

hey great info but i have one more question .i read before that the higher your rank imp or rebel the better the chance of getting a tie fighter or x wing is that still true?. thanks

IF YOU DARE TO STRIKE ME DOWN I'LL BE LOOKING AT YOUR FEET

- I support a rollback and keeping & balancing the old combat system.
...and making SWG a better place to be. Your voice counts!

I just read the things in the these posts that the devs wrote and just passed over the rest so please forgive me if this has already been asked at all. The only question I have is are shipwrights the only ones that will be able to modify ships or will other profs. be able to modify them too? For instince Han Solo said in A New Hope about the Millinian Falcon that he had made alot of special modifications to her himself and as far as I know he wasn't a shipwright

I'm back.

I'm really liking what I see so far.

Have read most of this thread.

I second the question on giving us more info on the "Veteran Status" (i'll probably get it...but still curious)

I also want to know if the starting ship has been decided, and also if we are allowed to have more then one ship.

I would like to have a fighter and a freighter.

If the starting fighter is a Z-95, then that's cool. Z-95s may be old...ugly and underpowered....but they aren't too bad. My ship of choice was actually the Z-95 in the X-Winggames anytime I could fly one.

Has anyone heard or seen anything that would give some indication even of which races are being CONSIDERED for the Jump to Lightspeed release?

I would very much like to know.

I would love to see Nym's race or the methane breathers, but I am going to be VERY pissed off if we get Lando's gill-faced buddy from Episode V or some damn palette variation on a human.

My guess one of them would be Sullustan. They are awesome shipwirghts. Mon Cal will probably get a bonus now to Shipwight, since they build the most awesome Mon Cal Cruisers (Home One for example)

As for the second race...I dunno. Could be any of the existing known races....

Is there such thing as rumor control in an MMO?

Aint no way the expansion will be out before 2005

Everyone knows this or are lying to themselves

There's a quote about the original design of Galaxies that says it was too much like living the life of Uncle Owen and not enough like the life of Luke or Han Solo.
