I would love the thrill of flying through an obstacle course like the trench on the Death Star, or even like the Millenium Falcon did inthe asteroid field with TIE's in close pursuit, or flying through the DS in ROTJ.
Flying fast and hardis part of the Star Wars experience as much as Jedi is. I think a great thing to do would be to have Space Races just like we have race tracks on the planet surfaces. It wouldn't matter that colliding with objects doesn't do damage, but asteroids would sure slow you down. Avoid them if you want the best time. And put Black Sun fighters out there to distract you as well.
Come on Devs! That would be some awesome space content!!

Can you not do this yourself? Seems to me like you could just set up a bunch of waypoints along a course you design and have players go at it.

ya but it would be easier if it was setup like a patrol route so that your waypoint would generate when u got to it and needed a new one.
still though, i think this would be a rather lame idea. not much chance of seeing space races in the game i think.

What would be the fun in this? At least on the ground theres some collision to drive around. In space its fastest engine goes the furthest the fastest.

Fastest ship. Pft. If you're in an asteroid field, the fastest ship tends to hit the most obstacles. If you have to bob and weave between asteroids or maybe even space wrecks (there are a number of wrecked capital ships thoughout the space zones. Who's to say they can't make a space graveyard and make you not only fly around wrecks, but through them. All the while you could be dodging attacking pirates. Remember the beginning of Episode 3? I'm thinking something along those lines.A smaller ship like an A-wing may be able to navigate through the course well, but an ARC-170 could deal with thepirates better. And makethis a course you could get a badge for.
I think there needs to be some more space content, so I'm just throwing out ideas here.

ive gotta ask. how many asteroid fields have you flown through in JTL?
because i can guarantee, that if i was runnin at 1700 cruise speed i would have no problem avoiding all your obsticals. the ACTUAL asteroids are few and far between. the other stuff u hit is just particles that bounce off and dont slow you down at all.
