I have a question, how powerful are the guns on the Multipassenger ships, are they the saem as say a Tie Fighter per shot, or are the more Like cannons that can destroy a fighter in 1 or 2 hits?
All components that u put in the ship will have the same effect, such as turrets... However, If u have a multi-passenger ship that is turning at the same time as a tie fighter, the tie will turn faster.. You get what i'm saying? The bulkier the ship, the hard to turn and such.
Well that does answer a question i had in my head about the manuverablity of the MP ships, But i was just wondering if the Guns on the MP ships are Gernerally more powerful than the smaller 1 person ship guns.

Eh, I don't worry about NPCs as muchBesides, it makes a little more exciting if I get attacked by hutt fighters and I ahve to scramble to the guns. I was just worried about getting murdered by players.
A note on multiplayer ships:
Pilots cannot fire the guns (at least on the YT-1300) while piloting. You have to have a crew to man the ship. As I haven't piloted any of the multiplayer ships I'm not sure if this applies to them as well but with the Sorosuub Yacht in order to keep moving you have to be at the controls. Autopilot feature is not working just yet, tho I expect that to be addressed in the next day or two.

Do jedi Knights also have to turn overt in space? or always overt while flying?
They have to turn overt in space also, Jedi are the same as the regular players in space... Which also means, un-like the ground,they don't get deducted XP when they dying I think.

I was sick for a long time this summer and I'm pretty sure my acct was inactive most of july and august, and I still got the vet reward ship.

how do the missions work? are there missions where you take on powerful things for large rewards and would the credits you get for completing a high paying mission the eqivilant of say 38k rancor missions on the ground? basicly im just wondering if i will be able to run missions and make uber cash like on the ground. oh and does grouping get you better missions in space? (space solo groups?)

Ah cool, NDA is lifted! I took about 30 screenshots last night of the various crafting screens and a couple space shots of the newbie privateer ship (which personally is very cool).
Recently they put in some mass and energy consumption changes on the ships (along with maneuverability changes which make it much more star warsy in terms of dogfighting) that will make even the starter ships viable at high levels. I can easily see people owning a pimped out starter ship like a Scyk for specialty fighter/interceptor role. I know I probably will!

Yes, something I was wondering is in addition to quests are there also like "money" missions like on the ground? Or can these quest missions be repeated for cash?

anyone got pics of hyperspace, or can they at least describe it? How quick is it? Is there a loading screen? Is it a cutscene, or can you get up and walk around while in hyperspace?

You get cash for doing the advancement missions. But they can't be repeated, unless you fail of course. Also for grinding xp they have "Duty Missions" those can be repeated and they give cash as well. You don' have to do duty missions though, they're optional.
