I think that is the reason it won't be added any time soon

I dun need no freaking fancy sig!

I would love to see it added for the Combat revamp. Imagine being pinned outside a base and calling in some ties or xwings to strafe the turrets. The ground game could add AA turrets and stuff to make strafing a difficlut task. I dont know how they could do this though without making it possible for people to greif players in cities. The only thing I can think of would put no flyzones over top of no playered controlled cities making you have to fly above or around them

If they trade it off to balance, awesome idea.

Commando's using rocket launchers against TIE's

Option to add new turbolaser turrets to bases to fire up at ships

Add the fact that crashing into things will blow you up

Hull damage when flying into the atmosphere from burning up

Rangers/Scouts set up flares for people to home in on from space

Possibilites are endless.

Atmospheric Flight would be cool, but with every neat idea that people want into the game come the griefers who exploit it. A good way to combat this is to set an actual height limit as to how low you can go. Id imagine this would create tons of lag, so developers would have a handful there, too.

there would be a lot of people shooting like krayts and things like that so i don't think the devs would put it in. It'd be pretty kick a** though if they did. I'd love to fly over and shoot some rebels running around on the ground

i heard its gonna be in the next expansion

Well at first the Devs said it would'nt happen. However then later on they changed thier minds ansaid that it might happen an that they would be interested in trying to make it work. That was the last thing they said on the subject. Basically I got the impression that they examined the code some an found out it could be possible. However latency issues an balance issues will be a big hurdle to overcome. It is neat though that the ground radar shows all three coordinates like space. So I would'nt rule out the possibility.

Personally, I would love this, or just at least the ability to land my ship on a planet like placing a house (alternative idea).

As a ranger, I really love the idea of being able to fly down to a planet surface, skimming trees, looking for a good landing spot, then use my ship (to-be YT-1300) as a fixed base camp to work from.

has been discussed in Beta several times and is ATM impossible to implement due limitations of the ground game engine.

even swoops are too fast for the ground game engine (spawns spawning behind you, rubberbanding). can you imagine the amount of rubberbanding and lagging when you use starships?
