Just when I think the game is about to get Star-Warsy... another screwup.
HEY DEVS:
TIE Fighters are called TIE Fighters because of the acronym for Twin Ion Engine. One lens flare in the back of a TIE is blatently wrong.
/frustrated
I agree it's out of continuity, but this is what gives you the Star-Warsy feeling? Sorry pal, that really sucks. I'm sure there was a nicer way of putting what you just said, ending in the same result. Give these guys a break, the task of fulfilling a Star-Warsy feeling forevery playerthat was originally based off of a 2 hour movie (and expanded upon infinitley) is a daunting task.
P.s. Devs please fix the engines

Out of curiosity, what would happened if I was to hit one of those asteroids, or another ship for that matter, while flying around?
You'll go right through it. No collinsions in MMOGs, ground or space.

Not true, the Devs has stated collision with large asteroids. You"ll go through smaller 'roids though, or there is an animation...can't remember which.
And for the record MMOs do have collision, play PlanetSide.

You may be right, PLayer. I do remember something about it. But even though you'll have collisions it still will NOT damage your ship.
When I said MMOG I meant MMORPG, which PlanetSide isn't
Yeah, I'm not sure if large ones do damage or not. Good question! I hope they do, but I can see the grief tactics...maybe.
Check this out, one of the new screens on LucasArts...sure looks like large asteroid collision:

Not sure though.
FFXI has collision as well as Neocron (well, its collision that allows passage after x timeperiod to prevent griefing)

My GOD you're all a lot of whining bastards...go play the game already, or go play something else! These are some nice screenshots and give those of us looking forward to JTL a little more to look at.
Why is our fickle gaming populace full of the type of people who gripe every time some new bit shows up that THEY just don't happen to have interest in??? Systems problems aside, it's people like you guys who have made long time followers of the game give up because you've turned the environment from a realm of intelligent discussion to a pit of blah blah blah, whine whine whine.
[/rant]
Already playing something else, thanks.
I do still have two months left paid up for this god-forsaken game. Since it is far too mind numbing to play, I choose to exercise my $15.00 bucks a month on the forums reminding everyone how boring this game is.
Discussing why this game is doomed to fail, though, is no less intelligent than cheering everytime you see a pretty picture or get information from the developers.
That's great that you're playing something else - me too, but I'm still playing Galaxies from time to time, and still see the possibilities for it to become a great MMO in the long term. If you find the game mind-numbing and dull, what satisfaction do you get from trying to ruin other people's experience? Perhaps discussing "why this game is doomed to fail" isn't unintelligent, but it's most definitely not productive. If I was on the dev team, you've given ample reason to ban your account immediately IMO.
Freaking people.
