It's only a small thing, but it SO takes you out of the atmosphere when it happens.
You get your mission, "Go escort the freighter full of refugess" then halfway through it you decide to inspect the craft and instead of "refugees" it says NOTHING!
It's a small gripe I know, but X-wing at least managed to have some kind of cargo inside when you inspected it and thats from 1991 (i think). Even if its random it would good, but at least make it relevant to the mission!
It would be nice if the devs went one step further and had this effect what loot you get - then we could actually play as space pirates! You inspect one of those random NPCfreighters and it has spice, you blow it up and you loot: suprise, suprise! SPICE!

Ya, I have the strong desire to dock and loot a lot of the ships I come across. Wish you had some kind of chance to be able to do this once and a while.

I loved X-wing Alliance, it had a degree of immersion that SWG simply lacks... even if it is ancient by gaming standards. It's the small things like this that really show when they aren't there.

Reminds me of Independance War. It was great fun to sit at the hyperpoints blowing up transports and picking up the loot, though for some reason it was mainly potatoes...
I'd love for this to be thrown into the game and I'd be tempted to take out a few frieghters myself despite being an Imp. Just make sure its not taking away from crafters or something. I dont want to be looting weapon components or droids parts, 'cause if they suck they are worthless and if they dont everyone will want them and crafters get the shaft. Would be nice if it was just random amounts of random resources (type of which should show during inspection) or something stupid like crates of small balls or little bantha statues. Even the odd crate of credit chips would be nice. And make the faction stuff affect space, like it does on the ground.
