JTL is just way too much fun. Yeah, I have my complaints, my rants, all of the crap I spew now and then but JTL is just way way cool.
The ground game is so completely hosed with all of its borked professions and the "economy" that for some reason people seem to think has anything to do with anything. I really really hope that the "Combat Upgrade" at least helps making the ground game enjoyable again.
Until then I'm a pilot...

I would say the same if we could dock with space stations and walk around on them (like in the noob tutorial) or even get missions in space, but I find it hard to stay up in space for long periods at a time when I have to constantly keep landing on a planet for things.
JTL is great though.

The devs did it right with JTL. Hopefully the ground combat upgrade will be handled just as well.
Also: I love space so much, I wish I could just /comm my mission giver from space. I never want to come down! I wanna get missions in space, to do in space.
Plus. It's laggy down there in Eisley.

Wait 'til you hit Master though. Nothing more except PvP. You'll land sometime. Like everything SWG, JtL has no real content...

Yeah, JTL gives me hope for the combat revamp.
I imagine we'll see more detailed space missions to come, but probably not for a while.
JTL makes SWG feel like Star Wars again.

I thought that too, but i was the moron who'd play x-wing vs tie even years (and years) after it came out!

I disagree, JTL makes the game feel like wing commander, not star wars.
Besides, I don't want it to feel like x-wing vs tie fighter, I want that option available too me. JTL should have done for X-wing/XvT/etc... what privateer did for wing commander (only better obviously since its a MMO). In this I think it failed for me, and it sort of takes away my hope that the combat revamp will be any good.
I find as you go up in skill, things in JTL make less and less sense equipment wise (I'm using level 7 guns and looking for more level 1 armour, and a decent level 1 reactor), and the missions become exceedingly long and difficult.

However, combat in space won't be one-sided and lame. I say that space combat is MUCH MUCH more fair than combat on the ground. Idisliked that skill-based ground game, even though it is quite inventive.
If JTL relied on skills to survive, I swear to god, I wouldn't buy it. It'd turn into a Star Wars variant of Earth and Beyond, which, although it was fun for the first week...it got old.
FAST.
