If they add Kamino, they had better give us some water craft. And stuff like breather things to breath under water, and have us able to dive under wanter and stuff like that. Be fun to have a tiny little bubble shaped water craft with a single laser cannon and a small little engine like a speederbike that you could go underwater and blast stuff with lol. Yeah that'd be fun but we DO need water craft for a mainly water planet. It just wouldnt be fun enough swimming on the top, every 5000m coming upon a 20m wide and 10m long island.
GIVE US MY BUBBLE, or just somthing.
Also, give speederbike a laser. It has the cannon on it just like in ROTJ, but can i blast imperials in front of me with it???? NOOOO it gets disabled!
Give us firepower.
Also, i think that with JTLS, we all cant wait to fly ships. But seriously. Think, ships could cost about 1mill. I think most of us are gunna be using the Ladyluck for a longgg time. Perhaps like i said before, give us a 30 use rental x-wing/cloud city fighter/ tie WHATEVER. WE want it all devs! make us proud of you guys! Im already proud of all the terrain. BUT WE WANT MORE DA************ MORE MORE MORE.
ok..... im done

there is no way they are ever gonna add Coruscant to SWG. think about it, the entire planet was covered in 1 gigantic city. Not to mention the fact that it was a multi-level city. If you were on the groud level you were basically as good as dead cause there were all sorts of gangs and criminals that would pray on you. The planet didn't even become moderately safe until like 10 levels up. There is just no way this could ever be put in game. Even if it wasn't multilevel in game (which would be retarded) they would have to have the entire map covered in a massive city. Imagine if Coronet covered the entireCorellian map. no thanks.If I ever even went near a place like that, my computer would just say **edit** you and promply explode. I am not trying to be negetive here. I mean having coruscant in game would be about the coolest thing. I have thought of it many times. I just don't think its feasibly possible. If we ever see it in game its gonna be some cheap wanna be coruscant that doesnt do themovie/book version justice.

Ord Mantell- The junkyard planet with some crappy towns. Though it would be VERY interesting to have this planet once JTL comes out. Why you say? Because they are going to add in ship component loots. Maybe add some tough enemies on Ord Mantell that can possibly drop some bad to good ship components they salvaged from some wreck on the planet. Good idea, huh? =P
Bespin- Good for the roleplayer, but not much to actually fight here.
Rodia- A nice choice. Large planet with big cities and many forests with ferocious animals in them.
Ithor- See Rodia. Cept floating cities not ground based ones.
Nar Shaddaa- A big floating city in space orbiting Nal Hutta. A great place for BHs and smugglers to hang out. Also a big known shipping route, trade junction, and stop over.
Others- Personally, I think it would be a cool twist to add, or try to add, every species' homeworld into the game so that they don't get homesick. =/ Another good addition would be more famous space stations including Nar Shaddaa, Centerpoint Station, Hosk Station, etc. to name a few. These stations could be used for starship maintainance, starship refueling, or a cloning center incase you die in space or something. Maybe for Shipwrights these stations could provide a ship modification bonus or something.

Why do people feel they need to threaten the devs with "If this doesnt happen, then I am going to another game"...I dont think it works that well unless it were on a large scale...which it isnt.
Anyway, I think we have all the planets we need unless... well I dont want to spill anything about Episode III so yea, I think we have all the planets we need.
Well maybe Mon Calimari, only if they were to impliment the underwater thing. That would be very cool. Maybe then they could add Otoh Gunga to Naboo. I would like to visit it.

Hoth: well its a wasteland, WERE IS THE TRANSPORT SHIP GONNA LAND? on the bright side it would be fun having CH ride taun tauns
Dagobah: its a world with not inteligent life no civilisation of any kind and if they did add it i doubt you could find yoda he is hiding, and look if any old person could go there then the WHOLE empire would be there searching for yoda and there you go the imps won luke did not recieve any training from yoda lukes dark the rebels are dead.
Korriban: its all ruins the only time it was incorperated into a game was KOTOR and even then it was a small outpost withthe academy, and in Jedi Knight III Jedi Academy, were it was ruins and no civilisation, no food or nutrients to sustain life.
Kashyyk: yes maybe when Episode III comes out in May 2005 (cuz in ep III apparently they go to kashyyk)
Courescant: ok the layout would take quite a while, EVERYONE WOULD BE THERE SHOUTING: IM SELLING THIS PST OR GO TO MY VENDOR AT X LOCATION FOR X CREDITS, couresant... other than an imperial hell hole... a lag hell hole
maybe if they are looking for a smaller city planet maybe add Bespin like that would graphicly be easier than Couresant, the Rebels and Empire have had a big conflict there during the trilogy for the Tabana Gas, maybe players could have mining platforms were they send a droid to retrieve really high quality gas.I want to see Bespin, the Carbonite chambers (npcs selling resourcess maybe?)
Mon Calimari? were they could release underwater veichles so players could go underwater on naboo and mon cal?
A space sector: the shards of Alderaan: have one area deticated to the remains of the planet alderaan

I like Hoth - good idea... but there should be some... coldness damage lol... have to dress properly
I like Kashyyk - That would kick ass...
I like Coruscant - A bit like Corellia but bigger houses 
I wouldn't mind Korriban - Though I don't really remember what place it is.... lol sorry
I don't like Dagobah - 100 persons in yodas hut???? Though it wouldbe a cool planet, Yoda is supposed to be almost the alone intelligent creature there... nah...
Good post for ur first...

They will not be adding new planets to space expansion I imagine because its a whole different style of game...they have to mesh it with the ground game...instead of building the space and ground all in one package for the expansion. Hope that made since...tho i would like to see all of the listed planets....Sometimne next year they are going to be adding Hoth as more of a battle field planet where we can control turrets, atst, atat, and all that great stuff and just have fun with that portion of the war.
Degobah...kind of a funny story...at fan fest the devs said that degobah is already in the game...its naboo...thats all I heard clearly the rest sounded like they said some weapon turned naboo into degobah but i think they were joking either about the whole thing or just about the weapon that much i wasn't sure...
Any way I do want to see Kashyyk as it is my home world. *grin*

lol a selfmade mission you download from an official star wars game site for jedi knight III jedi:acadamy, takes place on naboo. Evidently a group of bandits have taken a squad of at-sts and are terroizing the people of naboo and you, being a Jedi now, have to take care of it. Mind, this missions takes place during the time period when Luke Skywalker is training more jedi. In otherwords, the Empire has now been defeated, and it is now known as the Remnant.

Hi everyone, my first time posting on the boards. However, I came up with an idea that I thought others might like. I'm sure this has been posted before however.
Anyway, I think the Developers might want to add a couple of the planets we are used too.
I think all of us gamers like the new space, but It'd be nice to have a couple new planets as well?
Here are a couple of my ideas for the expansion
Ideas for new planets: Hoth___Dagobah___Kashyyk___Courasant___Korriban
I think my favorite of those are Hoth and Courasant. We dont have any winter planets... Hoth would be a great addition. And of the dangers, it could be a planet for the Stronger adventureres and groups.
Courasant would of course be an imperial world where the rebels might have to watch themselves, but it could be basically the big city it is and be the core home for like Merchants and whatnot. Not really a fighting planet.
Reasons i think the other planets might be added:
Dagobah, there really isnt a great reson. But it has that adventureous look to it that the gamers like. Mysterios, all sorts of dangers.
Kashyyk: Wookies are a race in the game, Kashyyk in books and other games is quite a big planet in StarWars. When i say big i mean Popular of course. Its the wookie's homeworld why not let them have it? It'd be a nice place to adventure in too.
Korriban: well.... cant think of any main reasons. I just think it could be a core place for jeditorain. Thinking of monsters and maybe a few dark force user npcs. In star wars knights of the old republic. There was the monster that consumed force power for energy therefore a jedi was no match for it. maybe a few of them.
Just a couple ideas
Heres one more: You know the rebel frigates and the imperial stardestroyers, i think that if you are in the factions. Have the star destroyer be a small city/home for imperials. Frigates be a small city/home for rebels. I just think it makes sense.
Thanks for the time all.
Feel free to post other ideas for the game as well, or other planets.
the other planets are good, but Courasant is WAY too big to be put in the game. take Coronet and multiply it buy like 1000, that would be Courasant. really, if the devs made Courasant it would be SWC (Star Wars Courasant)
