Why not allow players to land in the cities where they have declared residence? When is that coming, TH?

Why is it that only Imperial Inquistion pilots are allowed to land at the Retreat (well, other than crippling them with the fact they have to go there to get their missions) - are not the loyal Imperial pilots of Storm Squardron and Black Epsilon equally dedicated to the Empire??
The real insult comes when RSF pilots get the honor to land therewhen most REAL Imperial pilots can't....
Allow ALL Imperial pilots access to the "Space Station Mission" that grants landing privilges at the Retreat. Or, if it must be restricted for some reason, at least allow access by those (Imperials) who have completed the themepark separately and have earned the right tobe there.
(If I had my druthers, I remove RSF access altogether - they can land at Moenia as their loyalties obviously lie elsewhere!)
Oh, and one last thing....please, Please, PLEASE remove the title "Imperial Pilot" from that insolent, un-uniformed, fat slob next to the front door. He is an insult to the rest of the Imperail flying cadre! Label him "Administrator" or something...he can't even recognize Imperial Colonels sporting Ace status...let alone fit into the cockpit of a TIE fighter!!!

That would be my guess too, RSF is naboo based and imp aligned.

We RSF pilots keep the skies and major cities safe, thus we must sometimes visit with the emperor to discuss the overall security of the planet.

The internal affairs of Naboo are a minor concern to the Empire. And RSF business could easily be taken care of with a liason officer in Moenia....especially from someone with the title "Rebelcapt" 
As for the Inquisition pilots being allowed exclusive access to the Retreat - do not the other squadrons have just as important business there as well? OR if you want to look at it this way - if the Inquisition gets theRetreat, then Black and Storm squadrons should get exclusiveImperial areas that Inquisition pilots are banned from...
Would that be fair?I think not.

From an incharacter standpoint, no they don't. To put it in RL terms, thats like saying, ok, the Secret Service has exclusive access to the president, shouldnt a front line unit have the same exclusive access? of course not.

ONLY if the TIE pilot missions' story/backgrounds actually involve working for the Emperor and / or Darth Vader.
The Emperor and those in charge of his security and safety would not just allow anyone into the Emperor's Retreat.

And thats why inquistion has that authorization. They are more or less the internal police. heck, their the gestapo of the empire. I cannot think of any organization that would live closer to the Emporer then that.
What i don't understand, is why RSF pilots are allowed to land there. There is absolutely no need for an RSF pilot to land there at all, none what so ever.

I haven't tried the RSF, so I don't know the storyline for them.
I have the badge for the Inquisition, and as you say, the Inquisition are the "evil eyes" in the shadows, watching everything... even loyal Imperials (which the missions do give that feel).
I did Storm Squadron in Beta, and S.Sqdn is a line combat squadron. Nothing wrong with that, doing real grunt work for the frontlines of the Empire in the GCW.

Hehe. From an in-character stand point NONE of us should have access to the Emperor....

(I mean really,has ANY Inquistion pilot gone directly to the Emperor for flight missions in this game?? The answer is NO.)

That's a great observation Warmaker01!
Fictionally, the Imperial Inquisition pilots are the only ones that are really working that closely with/for the Emperor and his goons at the Emperor's retreat.
