I've had several goes on JTL over the last couple of weeks and I can say that overall I'm quietly impressed. However a few aspects do bugg me about it. Although these points are minor and do not really have any affect to how the game would be played in space it does add a little quality and attention to detail that star wars fans would like expect.


1. Rebel / Imperial Pilots have no requirement to wear flightsuits. In the movies I never saw one tie fighter or X-Wing pilot without one.


2. The wearing of such suits would require characters to be overt in order to fly faction spacecraft. This would make total sense as I rather fancy a rebel

parking his X-Wing in Bestine Starport and walking casually to the local cantina would be unlikely to get away with that in the movies.


3. Such flying suits couldcontain particular mods to aid with spaceflight. Unlike the ones we get in Galaxies with +5 terrian negotiation which are no use to man

norbeast.


4.There is actually no ability to Jump to Lightspeed. I find this quite ironic considering the game title. It would be nice to actually jump to another space sector

whilst in space. This of course would only be available to spacecraft with hyperdrives fitted.


These are small matters but matters that would give the game that little edge towards Star Wars realism. Whether the devswill take up the idea or not is another matter.Maybe my idea is arse? Who Knows. What you lot think?

First just to comment are #2, there is a Rebel suit you can wear without being overt. If you did the themepark before it was revamped then you got a B-Wing Suit that does not require overt rebel to wear, love wearing it as an Imperial.

Anyway though, yeah small fixes to those problems would be nice. But if a rebel can't park any of their ships in starports they'd be forced to use the Z95 each time they wanted to go to another planet. Don't think people would like that very much.

I sense a disturbance in the force.

For my ally is the Force. And a powerful ally it is. Life creates it, makes it grow. It's energy surrounds us and binds us. Luminous beings are we... not this crude matter.

Get your second ship, and you can jump 'til your little hearts content.

yes, but there is no rebel helmet. And the flightsuit isn't even decked out, it doesn't have all the equipment. It's like wearing an army uniform without all the vest, helmet, and belt.

I might actually go imp just because Rebel's don't get a full fight outfit, whereas the imps do.
