woulnd't it be kewl to collect stuff floating in space?
for instance, you see an asteroid about 1 foot in diameter in front of you
somehow open a cargo door or just target it, and collect it into your inventory
now you have an asteroid that you may use as you please: decoration, profit etc.
this could be done on any small piece of space debris, and it would be kewl to collect all the different asteroids
Lok has molten
Dant has jet black
etc.
this is just something to throw into the game to add more content
also we could sell it to people without JTL, as a souvenier kinda thing 
what do you think?

I like that idea, not sure how it would be implemented into the game, but it wouldbe interesting to be able tohaul in space loot thats randomly floating around. I still miss the mining and loot collecting in Earth and Beyond, and something similar to that in JTL would probably keep me in space forever.

Collecting space debree is a cool idea.
Possibly make it that we can find containers (from blown ships)with cool lootand some ship parts floating in space and make it kinda tricky to collectso its more fun.
I also think (non macroable) active space mining would be a great idea (no placing harvesters).

I always see a severed TIE fighter wing just floating around, that'd look great on my wall.

They just need to add a new weapon called a TractorBeam. When you locatesome space junk/container you target it and hold down the triger on the TractorBeam. The beam locks onto the item and pulls it into your inventory, for as long as your capacitor has power to run it. The quality of the TractorBeam determines the speed of lock-on,speed of thepull, power drain, etc... The beam could also have a limited ability to pull other objects.
Just an idea.

Kool idea.THey could also impliment space mining and possible another class of ship. Make the asteroid fields you mine shift its resources similar to the ground game. THe minerals or what ever can be unique to space, but share some characteristics of the planet that is in the same system.

I've always wanted to loot the destroyed TIE Fighter and X-Wing parts I see around. A TIE Fighter wing would look awsome sitting in my house.
