Hi everyone.

I bought Jump To Lightspeed yesterday, and have done 5 Imp missions.

This is simply the coolest, best feeling, and greatest star wars flight sim ever.

I love the space stations, especially seeing other spaceships land and dock or just cruise by. It really feels authentic.

I haven't experienced lag yet, although my server doesn't have that many JTL:ers yet, but even with lag, this rocks!

Don't come to this thread unless you want to say something positive about the game or the devs.

I really think the devs have done an awesome job and can't wait to play it again! (the servers are down right now)

Please mention something specific that you like about the game, or just say that you like it

*EDIT*

I also forgot to say that the graphics are awesome! Don't know how they would be better.

I'm happy to have a positive thread about this game. There are WAY too many whiny threads posted here - WAY too many.

I think constructive criticism is important to improve this game as fast as possible and make everyone happy. I'm also having fun playing the new expansion.

However, I cannot agree that this is"simply the coolest, best feeling, and greatest star wars flight sim ever." Yes, the graphics aregreat, and there's a lot I like. ButXWA trumps JTLS for gameplay, excitement and fun in many ways, and the devs need to bring in some of the talent from XWA or TIE Fighter to help raise the gameplay value of the flight/combat portion of JTLS to the level of XWA, which is really the standard to date for Star Wars space combat sims.

"Don't come to this thread unless you want to say something positive about the game or the devs."

Note, making valid constructive criticisms doesnt amount to saying bad things about the devs. And kissing up is never constructive.

JTLS is shaping up to be a potentially great expansion that will ultimately really complete SWG like it was always meant to be. But it's not perfect, and I have no problem pointing that out, because I KNOW it can be better, and should be.

I think everyone that has posted here has one or two comments / critisisms about the expansion as well.

This is just not the topic to put them in. There are enough of them out there.

I have really enjoyed reading everyone's positive experiences with the game.

Hope it keeps on going.

And like I said ... there are a lot of threads of those kind going on.

And I dont post here to kiss up to the devs or anything ... just to share my experiences ...

I dont read this thread thinking "oouuuuu the devs are gonna love this comment"

No ... I enjoy it while Im at work, which is boring as hell

Great, and I'll post my experience with JTL also, including the things I think are holding the game back.

yeah ... .tell me about it ...

got a girlfriend complaining she's a widow in the evenings

*note to self - tire her out with sex before playing*

I have the same problem, only I tire out before she does. Not that I'm complaining mind you...

JTL rocks! I love flying so much that I have all but abandoned my fs grinding to master pilot, and I am advancing slower at pilot, but it is at least a lot of fun. I love the fact that no matter what your skill level is you can be challenged and have a good time. Being able to get fully buffed and just spam special attacks all day is sooo boring, while actually having to use your own flying skills is fantastic. The game could be a little faster at time, but I still love it.
