All very good ideas. Thats exactly the type of stuff we are asking for.

Rise up my brothers and sisters in freighters

If they do put these in, shouldn't they be big multi-person ships? At least able to have friends / hire gunners to help defend as you fly around.

And I agree, this would be great for delivery missions in space. As long as there is a finite number of cargo your freighter can carry, so you'll have to pick and choose what mission you can take.

Also it would be nice to have the missions be more interactive.

So if you took a mission from the Empire, to ship ore to Naboo or somewhere, you might get an imperial escort, or attacked by rebels. Vice versa for the Rebellion, possibly with faction point rewards?

Or if you take a mission by Black Sun or the Hutts, and fail, there will be some sort of negative consequence. And possibly increased rewards compared to other missions for the increased risk. Ideally I'd like a deathmark (for BH's) after you mess up too much. And if you get DB'ed the counter gets reset, and you can fail more missions before you wind up on the BH terms again.

Maybe the BHs can track you down in space as well, not just on land. That would be nice. Wow this is offtopic. Sorry! Just letting the noodle go on and on

Did some say Freighters!...No? Well they should have!

On the topic of freighters and capital ships, there is a really cool way to implement those without it being all a one man show! For freighters since they usually allow a mulitple manned crew why not make them like the Space Guild hall so to speak and require 5 guild members per ship or something like that? The capital ships since they are gigantic can be like in-space player cities...I mean you can fit lots of people in it as well as use it to transport cargo/personel of the same faction alignment. It could also open up a great way to have wars..as you could have multiple cities warring in their capital ships and able to launch citizens in to fighters or man turrets as well as serve as a base for the freighters to go back and forth between naking profit!I think it would be best if the ability to receive one was given to cities that reach at least level 3 definately level 4 since there are limited amounts of cities on each planet that can reach the higher levels! Anyway enough of my yapping I just get excited at the thought of being in a star destroyer especially when I look up at the sky and see them there all the time!!

As a HT-2200 jockey from way back (WEG PnP game), I have to say... bring on the big ugly freighters!

And the little pretty ones, too, like the YT-2000

Oh what I wouldnt do for a good sized Mon Cal transport! A big beautiful freighter with curves smooth and supple like a lady!

I know, I know...not all freighters have to big and ugly!

If battlefields failed on the ground, why do they think making JTL a big space battlefield will be any differnet?

In the end it SWG condensed down to PvE, many non-combatant profs, financial achievements and limited PvP...yet JTL is pure combat and PvP? That makes no sense.

We definately need Bulk Freighters. Big, ugly, carrying literal tons of potentially valuable cargo, and completely defenseless.

If you're a rebel, you'd be ISD fodder in a big bulk freigher,

Who says we'll be defenseless...muhahaha! Especially against fighters, we'd pack more punch then you mayexpect.

I would love to see lots of huge buld freighters in game...which and outlaw JTL profession can mercilessly attack and loot then have to make a getaway before the IMPS come in to destroy the criminals.
