Not allowed droids out in the ship?

Any chance you could reconsider?

No. That takes part in a timeline that is way in the future.






LOL. You could not have typed that with a straight face.


Timeline... pffffttt... I think the timeline got thrown out the window the moment you created two opposing Jedi councils. I say give us Youzhan Vong and while you're at it give us hobbits and vulcans as well!

Will people that do not purchase the expansion be able to board the multiperson ships just for transport?

Sorry but no.






Um, you aren'tserious?

These "droids" that will be helping us in such a signifigant manner (so we are told) are invisible?

We can put paintings on the walls of the ships but we can't pull our droids out?

Wow, I'm totally stunned. Can you please double check, TH - this just doesn't sound right. If it is - welcome to the second piece of bad news from JTL (the first being that people can fly faction ships without being overt).

Fighting Youzhan Vong would be so much fun. Would also be a cool story.

26. Any word on a future monthly stories? (MonroeThanes )



Yes. So much effort went in to creating the Cries of Alderaan, that when we eventually ended it the devs felt that if that much work went in to creating content, that it should be part of the permanent game. The events team will continue to run events and activites, but in the future, when content is added, it will be permanent.





Nice post TH. Thanks.


In light of the glowing nerf batt the player base gave you guys in the past 24 hours, maybe the Events Teams should get on this ASAP.


Can the player base help the Events Team in writing things up? Putting some storylines or events together? From what the playerbase glowingnerf batt suggested, we've all got a lot of time on our hands while in game. Its no secret who the guys on your side of the screen know in each community. Most of us have atleast something on TC .... I dunno, its an idea. And you guys are under staffed.

TH, I am surprised by you! I thought you knew about Star Wars! If you read your prequel novels, you would know that the Yuuzhon Vong (sp) have already been to this galaxy! Duh! Why not make it so that there was a crashed ship on Lok or Dath or something? And they have been hiding? This would be a great idea! However, I think it best that people actually GO to the Corvette or the Death Watch Bunker. Last I heard, there were few and far between people that went there due to like 6 heavy armor droids in one place or something ridiculous like that.....

Why not? Technical reasons or for any other reason at all? Is it because you dont want rancors or large creatures in a ship?

Sorry but no.




so we won't be able to use special effects and playback droids in Lady Luck?! isn't it supposed to be a party barge?!










21. Will all types of healing work in multi-passenger ships? (i.e. medic / ent healing etc.) ( LeBob )



At this time, the answer is yes, but that may change in beta. We will be looking very closely at how healing shock and wounds is going to work in Space during beta.




very nice to hear

This is bogus. I specifically remember a dev stating that droids would play a role in the space expansion, including repairing your ship and controlling systems such as weapons, engines, shields, etc. I don't have a link but I clearly remember this being stated.

20. Will there be any non-combat related space activities, such as, for example, trading/courier missions or exploration missions? Are there any plans to expandJtL to include merchants or prospectors or any other play styles apart from 'combat monster'? ( Dynonychus )




Not at this time, but in the future, there are many possibilities that we can explore.








Get your stories straight. In Haden's interview this week, he specifically said there are escort and patrol missions as well as combat ones. Who is wrong here?
