no doubt the will be the coolest online game in a long time...the bugs although annoying sometimes are expected. as long as they arent game breaking bugs, i will still play every chance i get knowing the devs will improve it.

I have been almost everywhere on the JTL forums and have to ask this question since no one else has....once Pub 10 comes everyone will have 2 characters per server. the install key is account specific. with the install of JTL will both avatars be able to fly space craft since they do in fact share the same key. the answer appears to be obvious but better to have clarification i'd say
Space Expansion intallation codes will work for a specific account, according to Thunderheart, and thereby to all the characters within that account.
In addition, I have a question concerning whether or not it will be two characters per server or two characters period? Anyone know?
Also see my question concerning the faction involvement in the JtL here:

Is there really any question that this expansion will make SWG THE coolest MMORPG out there? I do hope they fix the numerous bugs that exist in the ground game. It seems almost inexcusable that there are so many things broken a year after release. If this game ever gets fixed and polished (like COH, DAoC, or even AO) I think it could become one of if not THE most popular.

This has been asked, and answered, but I beleive not completely confirmed.
The word is that we will get more skillpoints, but in a different line. It looks like we will have our normal 250 points, and a sepratepool with a yet unannounced amount of "Space" points.

hey its a long way away and weve been talking bout it since christmas last year some of us since beta .....lol why continue the rumor control
1. Your code is good for all charators on your account
2. You will not be giving up ground based skill points to jtl there will be space points system
3. No you cant have the best craft possible cause were all gonna be noobs in space at first ( i.e. read # 2 fellow space noobs)
4. And no the ground based game will not be ruined, maby for the first few days yup ..but then all the noobs to game who went out and baught game just for jtl are gonna realise they cant even maitain there free ship in space without needing cash and have to goto ground just to exist and we all know how far 350 cretids gets you in this game ...
I for 1 have several nice houses and a historical cantina on lok i plan on enjoying my ground time as much as my space time, beside the best fishing is on land not in space .....
ya first few weeks gonna be hetic. crafters crying they dont have a part in the jtl, why i dont know cause there gonna get space points to become shipwrights anyway ..whatever happens dont go pay an insane amount of money just to have the best right off the bat and if your with a guild they should provide you with the best for free ...opps oh thats right not all guilds that for there troops .....likeDS takes care of its own and everyone works for the whole.........anyway back on subject .. also why buy the best ship and parts right off the bat cause your gonna suck in it anyway also you may not have the right qauls off the bat to ride a really cool chicken wing fighter,so dont be a fool and foloow the masses...
and again i think this thread is dead ..there should be no more rumor we dont know shiiiiite and it gonna stay that way till JTL now let the devs get back to work and stop harrasing the forum with inane stuff and the barber shop rumors cletis ..........

Did you show the currently broken systems in game while showing off the expansion, i.e. smuggler, battlefields,pvp, squad leader..etc.etc? Ok i kid.
One thing I was surprised about though, was that there are no new planets. Not to sound critical, but this means you are just adding ships. Just an extended combat system? That means that even though we have these ships there is nothing new to explore but empty wild space. I think most of us were hoping for new planets. Its gonna be the exact same game with just an extra form of PVP.
I know its a pretty big extra, but I had the impression that we were gonna get into our ships and fly off to unknown planets that werent on the normal galactic map. Maybe too much of a hope. Guess you should fix the current game, get the gcw working and pvp up and running before trying to add all new planets. New planets would have been cool though.!
BTW I would like to see new planets. Getting bored of the same ones.

IMHO, the dev team should include low-atmospheric flight. It gives whole new ways to attack bases and such in the GCW. It also provides an alternate means to shuttle transport. Who hasnt been frustrated by missing the shuttle to mos espa or what not by the 5 seconds you need to buy a ticket? Dogfights are possible in low-atmospheric flight, just with the added risk of eating dirt if you dont pay attention. Another suggestion is to make a sector interconnecting. You have to actually take off. This would be needed in low atmospheric flight. Then, to come back down, you have to go through the atmosphere. In any respects, how [i]does[/i] landing work? do you just fly into the planet or something?

Well, alot has changed since the very first words about this expansion was ever said. Seems as though all this expansion will do is let us fly and shoot in space, which dont get me wrong, it sounds fun, but the idea is already making me bored. Only 1 ship will let you have more than one person in it? What about the luxury yacht for us veteran players? That looks like a nice BIG cozy place that perhaps a friend of ours could share....But what I was hoping for was airlock hatchways for ships joining together. I mean, how cool would that be? Like if you wanted to trade with one of your friends or you met up with you friend up in space and you want to show him around your ship, you could "dock" with their ship or attach both ships' airlock hatcheways and walk over to their ship. Sure all this stuff takes work, but I remember seeing part of the space expansion on a celebration video before this game ever came out. The video i saw is like 2-3 years old so my main question is......SOE/lucasarts, what have you guys been up to??? Well, dont let my comments get ya down. I mean, im sure the graphics along will be good, no matter how little gameplay fun will be in it.....right?
