why would you be harvesting in an x-wing or TIE anyway? a frieghter or corvette class would be better suited for carrying your salvage

i know that PVP is not the same as the ground game in JTL.
but for example if you only have one ship and its a faction craft... and all you want to do is fly from one planet to another, or take in the sights, or when they add more thingsto do in space than just combat,say you are doing a harvesting mission in space..also along the line what happens when i Noob playerbuys JTL and has a crappy faction ship and isnt good at flight sims.. then POOF every time you go into space you get attacked and shot down. most people dont want that to happen.

I'm not being rude but y'all are taking this like it's the end of the earth. If you don't want to pvp like me, go privateer. kill some pirates, chill out with your pimpin' yt-1300 or whatever ship youve got, watch some pvp from your cockpit, laugh at some things with your friends, go explore space.. you get what i'm getting at. And to save yourself ALOT of headach's, dont go with a reb or imp proffession in space. (you'll end up reapeting the same arguments every month after the expansion is realesed. not to mention the arguments you'll have in-game.)THIS TYPE OF BULL-CRAP Y'ALL ARE FIGHTIN' OVER IS WHAT'S KILLIN THE GROUND GAME!!! IM BEGGING YOU DON"T RUIN THIS EXPANSION FOR THE OTHER PEOPLE LIKE ME!!

They have already stated that Privateers will be working for many different NPC Factions, I could have a job working for the Smuggler's Alliance (Tatooine) and they have me flying an escort mission, then the IMPs show up and poof, I get a TEF for flying my mission....along comes you and several friends and poof I get destroyed and feel griefed.
Second...I'm an IMP, I should be able to fly for the beloved Emperor and not have to worry about being killed every10 seconds. I could possibly get better and kill you instead, but that's not my kinda fun.

This will be the 3rd time I've said this on the boards, but as they say, 3rd time is a charm. 
I'm all with people wanting to PvE. I have absolutelyNO problem with that.
My biggest deal is neutral players flying around in factioned craft. That should NOT be allowed. If you want to PvE in a TIE or X-Wing, grind out the 200FP needed to be a member of that faction. Stay covert, have a ball blowing up NPC targets, but be a part of the damn faction of the *supposed*factioned craft that you're flying.

And i as a Rebel pilot should be able to come to the Rescue of an Alliance Capital ship if it is under attack by Imperial forces. But i wont be able to because they are "covert" even though i can see them plainly lighting the ship up.

I don't see a problem with that at all Massadonious as long as people do not have to PvP if that's not what they want.

Yes, but anyone will be able to destroy what you are defending, and you will not be able to DEFEND!

Yes Calomac, you are correct as it stands now, I was just using that as an example of why we should have it that way instead of getting TEFs are being Overt all of the time, like most of the PvP'er would like.

I don't beleave destroying a capitol ship will be a single player or event group mission provided by the Pilot Trainers.
I guarantee when you get up in the higher teirs of the pilot professions that taking out Capital Ships will be the missions.

No, you certainly don't have to. PvP is not for everyone. I am in total agreement with youon this.
But, having neutrals fly around in factioned craft is just absurd. Might as well letthem wear Stormtrooper and Marine armor too.
