Jump To Lightspeed Archive

First off, I just wanted to say, nice job, very well done. I didn’t think that I would ever experience the level of excitement and fun again that I did when EQ first came out. Bravo!

Yea I know, after all the compliments now the complaints. Not really, just honest suggestions, I thought you may be able to use. At least I hope they sound interesting.

JTL is great, Its great to jump into my ship and take off fighting the war in space, but I feel like its getting a bit repetitive. Lets face it, its fun to dogfight, but the plot in space seems a bit shallow. Or maybe not shallow, but disconnected from the whole ground action component. You did such a great job with multi-passenger ships, I thought it would be nice to expand on that a bit, while adding some more foot based combat to space.

These are just suggestions, maybe you will find them worth a shot.

Suggetions:

I.Space Stations that you can Dock/Land on and interact on foot ( Think of the possibilities, you could have bars, bazaars, and combat all indoors on space stations only accessible with a personal ship. You get the idea. Ground content but in space limited to those who can fly there.)

II.More planets or areas, accessible only by private Ship with adventures on the way. (Lets face it, part of the excitement of the Star Wars world is having your own ship and flying from one part of the galaxy to the other. But the adventure doesn’t begin and end on the ground. It would be great to have places to go, where you have to use a ship to get there with your friends, get attacked and fight your way to the planet what ever, and then land only to continue the hunt.)

III.Boarding other ships. (Wouldn’t it be cool if you didn’t just fight with ship guns, but if you got boarded. Imagine getting stopped or your ship incapacitated by an Imperial Ship and you get boarded. Suddenly you find yourself fighting storm troopers on your own ship. Trying to save what is left of it. Maybe boarding another ship, and taking it over? The possibilities would be endless from an adventure prospective.

IV.Planet Flight (I know this one is a long shot, because you don’t want the twitch to conflict with the auto attack combat on the ground. It also would be less than fun having ships crashing into the spaceport all day or a million ships park out in the field outside of your local city. But I thought I would mention it, cause I would be cool to actually land your ship and walk in and out.)

I guess that’s the bulk of it. I don’t know I just think that it would be cool to have Multi-passenger ships be a bit more practical in the storyline. Right now they are awesome, but there is little reason to hang out on someone’s ship other than social reasons. I just think it would be fun to expand on that. As for the rest, it would be nice, in general, to have Space and Ground mesh a bit more. So you need pilots to move on ground wise. Otherwise they will seem like separate games, and you will just be deciding whether to fly or fight on the ground today.

At any rate, you did great, it blew my expectations out of the water. JTL was worth waiting for.

I just hope my suggestions may spark some ideas with your team

Later all.
