Ok so I've mastered pilot, i was in the empire for a long long time, i decided to retire and become freelance, one thing that always bothered me was why are there no blockades or even heavy imperial traffic around planets. i would think at this time you would be hard pressed to blast off a planet without seeing an ISD or something. i find space to be nothing but a cash cow. You are never under any real threat of feel as though a war is going on. No searches, no space battles unless your in kessle or DS.
my thoughts on how to make a more enjoyable space experience is to have ISD come into a sector of space every few days. Have random contraband checks. if your on a POB you could be boarded by the empire and searched. During a search your hyperdrive is disabled. Before you are boarded you are given some options to run, submit to search or hide ( smugglers get a bonus to this ). the NPC's are attackable if you choose to fight them you can. if you are caught with JEDI or contraband then you a find10, 000creds, if you can't pay you are attacked. Same idea if your are in a rebel controlled region.
this would bring the GCW to space and make space that much better. if you want to avoid the scans and what not there is always the travel option on the terminal. i think it would be good content, give smuggles the beginnings of smuggling and put a little fear into you when you blast off.
another though i just had was MAKE droids actually useful in this game. if i have a droid i want him to be able to repair my ship, fly the thing ( auto pilot ) while I'm not in the pilot seat and maybe swat fighters that attack ( they would have to have bad aim and slow fire rate as to not make them viable, but better then nothing in a pinch ). droids could be SOOOOOOOO much better in this game instead they are walking backpacks or house decorations.

Space AND ground needs to be swamped with Imperial's doing their duty and telling people that it is their land, not yours and you are bothering them on it.

The Imperials don't even need to be part of the space sector, just there. Especially on Naboo: The Emprorer's on vacation there... constantly... and you're telling me there arent any Star Destroyers in orbit?

very good ideas....
if i may add:
Space control rebel/empire, blockading planets, gun running (making weapons illicit, searchable by police etc), illegal components (weapon components, shield components etc).
Space could be alot more than it is, but first you have to do a bit to the crafting/gcw to make it work.
