I think a vast opportunity has been missed with the introduction of this expansion, namely the implementation of an interplanetary trade system, including both legitimate and contraband cargoes. There are a lot of MMORPG Elite clones around, but none of these have any planetside activity, and I think it's one thing that is missing with all of them.

At the moment, it feels to me like the JTL expansion is just tacked on the side, and has little bearing on the ground based game. While this is probably to help people who don't have the expansion, it hinders the fun of JTL players, who above all are screaming for Content.

So, why don't you implement cargoes in the larger ships, introduce some high quality resources that are only available on one world, and need transport to the others? How about more freighters? Dockable Stations? Dockable Capital Ships! We need more Star Wars content, from the films. What do smugglers do at the moment? Precious little smuggling. Make travelling through space more fun (So people don't just instatravel). Make risky trade runs lucrative, add more space missions that require you to dock with stations/capital ships.

Basically, what I am getting at is that I wish so hard that this had been so much more rich in features and content, and not just a Starfighter game stuck on the side of a MMORPG.

Hmph.

/agree...

JTL had so much potential and SOE missed this opportunity... The first "impression" was lacking content. Capital Ships, and Blockades are what I'm looking for. Possibly a new insta-travel system for both ground and JTL.
