Jump To Lightspeed Archive

I love Jump to Lightspeed, but one thing kind of bugs me about the transition from land to space. I do not like the instant ship departure. You run to a starport access a terminal and all of a sudden you are in your starship. I think they should put a little more effort in the immersion characteristics. A few ideas:

Place JTL terminals around the outskirts of the city, that way there will be more room to park vehicles. Next add a couple more starports to cities for more options to leave from inside the city. Now here is what I would like to see. When leaving from the ground to space, you have toaccessyour ship from a player JTL terminal but when you select your vehicle it spawns in front of you. Then you would have to enter your ship. While inside your ship you could then select to Launch to Space or Travel. After the selection you would see your ship lift off and blast into orbit. Now for the landing part would be a similar. When you want to land just go to the space station and select land as usual. But you will actually see your ship landing in a free landing spot around the city or in a starport. Then when you leave your vehicle, it will auto store in a minute or two. They could even have the player select anywhere on the surface they would like to land from their ship. I think that this would be agreat immersion factor for the game. Anyone else have ideas.

I kind of agree there the only thing I would tweek is actually have in space starports that you can walk around in like the ones on the ground. You would go to a hatch and select the desired ship you have in your data pad and you would select climb into ship from the radial menu. Maybe show a partial animation of getting into the ship or something. The travel industry will see an all time low until they kind of revamp this a bit. This way you pay creds for a supposed shuttle to the space station only like 500 to 1k creds for a jump since it isn't from like corellia to dath.
