"A long, long time ago... In a Sorosuub, far, far away ...
There was a party, out in Naboo space where no one could see them. They were all having a great time, dancing, drinking, talking and even piloting the ship. It seemed too good to be true, this pilot was out there with this party for hours and hours. They all wondered how he could afford all that furniture, and even the ship, they didn't bother though, after he started serving the drinks ... This wasn't your normal pilot though, no one knew his true secret ... he was insane ...
Later that night, everyone was quieting down, ready to get some sleep and head back to the space station in 12 hours. The pilot headed off to the cockpit while everyone headed to the bunkbeds ...
4:00AM ... 3 hours before arrival ...
One of the members was thirsty, he got out of bed and headed to the bar to get some water. As he approached, he heard some strange noises. It was coming from the cockpit. He hesitantly headed up the stairs to the cockpit. He saw the pilot sitting in his seat.
"Hey, captain! Are you ok?"
There was no response. "Captain?"
He didn't have a clear view of him, so he came a little closer. He was in shock.
"Captain! Captain! What's Wrong?"
The captain sat there... tensed up, his eyes bloodshot, his veins showing, he was shivering like crazy. Breathing heavily, he stood up, looked toward the member and didn't move.
"Captain? What's wrong?"
His eyes, his eyes, so terrifying, they were completely red and they were bouncing all around. He slowly walked toward the member. The member became frightened, he had a glazed look on his face, backing up slowly, and running into the chair, knocking him into it. The captain came closer and closer, he started twitching, he brought up his arms and grabbed the member by the neck, luckily he was in composite armor. he had him strangled, he couldn't move. The captain drug him down to the lower deck. The member could only see a little to the left of him as he was drug down the stairs. He saw the airlock, and that was exactly where he was going. The captain pressed the button, forcing the member into it and closing the door.
"No! No! Stop! Let me out of here! Please, someone help me!" He pounded on the door trying to escape. The other members heard the pounding, but not his cries for help. One member got curious and quickly arose from her bed, running to see what's going on. She saw the pilot there breathing heavier and heavier, looking at him in terror. He finally pressed the button, the man was launched into space.
No one could see him, but he was still out there, he was able to grab ahold of the ship, with his composite armor helmet supporting his oxygen, he tried climbing toward the window to call for help and maybe they'd see him, the only one he saw was the pilot running for the cockpit. The pilot hopped into the seat still shivering. He set speed to max and warmed up the boosters. While the man was still holding onto the ship, he was losing grip because of the intense speed, his armor was breaking apart and his oxygen running low, he couldn't handle it ... he let go, but was sucked into the boosters gravitational pull and because of the armor he was wearing, it caused an internal explosion in the ship. The reaction was so intense it blew out all the windows and as the ship spun out of control, one little spark caused them to enter hyperspace into the sector of Endor.
An old imperial folk tale that all members share among themselves. They say you'll still see that burning ship flying across the stars in deep space... Nobody knows what spark will cause it to go to next."

First of all..get ready because JTL is a lot of fun to play. I do NOT find it laggy its quite smooth even on my laptop
Second. My Story:
Several of my guildmates and I took my SoruSuub3000 Parsec High Club (Named by Elyssa though she doesn't know it yet) out for a shakedown cruise. We wandered out to Dantooine and convinced the Alliance Station there to grant us permission to travel to the very deadly Deep Space zone. While we were there we saw a few corvettes engaged in battle, and then we drifted every so slowly over to a massive Star Destroyer which was nearby. As we approached (very cautiously) we noticed there was blaster fire near it, it was under attack by the Alliance! We watched for a while and the Alliance finally succeeded in taking the ship out and it exploded right in front of us, the debris bouncing off our shields. The sight was amazing and the all of us just stood there in the observation lounge and watched it happen. Shortly after that another Star Destoryer showed up, no doubt to investigate the disappearance of the first. We decided to get closer to it but they were a bit nervious (understandably in these very precarious times) and opened fire on us. We didn't last very long against their guns and quickly found ourselves ejecting and back at the space station in Dantooine sector. We repaired our ship (which had been towed back to the station) and headed back into space after collecting an X-Wing as an escort. We cruised out to the Kessel system and took a tour of the magnificent black holes and other sights of the system. All in all we had a great time and only found a few minor issues with our new ship. I'm sure the manufacturers warrenty will cover repairing them.

Here's my collection of cool screenshots (I have about 20 times more all from JtL hehe):
Black Sun Heavy Fighter 3rd person view
B-Wing 3rd Person view
B-Wing makes the jump to lightspeed
Escorting an Imperial Lambda Class Shuttle (Privateer mission)
One of many Black Holes in the Kessel Sector (not enough for a Maw though)
Looking at a YT-1300 from the bridge of a party barge
The SoroSub Personal Luxury Yacht 3000 makes the jump to lightspeed
A Proton Missile hits its mark (I love this pic!)
A Star Destroyer in Deep Space
A Black Sun Heavy Fighter flying under the Star Destroyer
X-Wing versus a TIE Fighter (he lost hehe)
the YT-1300
I've just gotta say JtL is absolutely amazing everyone! It is a blast to play. Just remember the following two things when it goes Live:
1. JtL isn't about grinding through a profession like we do in the ground game. Progressing through a pilot profession is quest/mission based. Don't get discouraged though, they're fun missions!
2. When you first start off, your ship will be slow and will handle like mud. But don't worry! Once you get a better ship with better parts you will be blazing through space!

Firstly, JTL is NOT laggy, the previous posters who say that it is probably just have crappy PC's.
If anything JTL is smoother than the ground game. I constantly get 30FPS.
Yeevle, please share your system specs, I have no clue what to expect with 2400ghz P4 with 2 gigs of ram and a Gforce fx 5600

It is indestructible. That was just a bug for a bit on beta. It will be in live.

I enjoyed the NPCs with attitudes. They aren't like the other cookie cuttertrainer NPCs who just state what they can train you in and whatnot, these folks have an attitude and the emotes to go with it.
And yes, /airguitar RULES!!!
