Not a bad idea... no flame from me

Although I would prefer to see space enhancing abilities replace some of the more usless FS trees. Just look how much little ainiken achieved before he was even trained as a jedi.

Not a flame but I wholeheartedly disagree. New pilots and those who don't fly that often really don't appreciate how easy space is now. Also, since a skill like that would probably be able to be utilised in pvp, which in space is a twich system it'd probably be frowned upon just like the majority dislike the utilisation of Epulse 3 in space.

Possibly a skill which maybe acted like IFF scramble in pvp would be useful. I.e, Jedi is in a furball with another player, they activate skill and then to the other player, the Jedi's fighter disapears off radar and becomes untargetable for a few seconds. That might be a better way, but personally I just don't think JTLS can benefit from anymore skills which would give a minority an advantage over the majority.

Please bare in mind that with droid commands which are easily obtainable by everyone, the JSF and GSF which these days are too, easy to acquire along with even crafted starship parts; there is no PVE based mission in the game which can't be waltzed through without breaking so much than a finger nail in space. The only two quests exempt from this for the 'average Joe' would be the Lord Cyssk mission and possibly the Tier 5 Ghrag duty mission from the CPG protector.

In order to make JTLS more fun and to preserve the reason to play it, we don't need new skills, but more actual playable content or relevance to pvp in space. Somthing else to do which once played through once, won't get boring. Maybe like GCW in space or the fabled Capital ships which we might/not be getting at some unforeseeable point in the future. I'm one of JTLS's biggest fans. I am flying my A-wing most nights and have flown every mission the game has to offer. I personally think, GCW in space and a few boardable/conquerable/destroyable faction Stations would be the way forwards, or at least a step in the right direction.

Before the fun starts, can I point out the humor in needing an automatic lock to fire a weapon that already comes close to assuring a kill in PvP? Seriously...of all the powers to ask for, that's pretty close to an I Win type of scenario in a good PvP dogfight. At least ImRecs require facing the target for a set amount of time.

The way I see it, when Luke fought in the Death Star battle, he wasn't as experienced a pilot as some of the others in his squadron may have been. Point being, if an "Ace" pilot were to be faced with a task like that, considering the fact that he's an "Ace", he should be able to judge the distance and fire one in without a targeting computer. So his help from the Force was merely compensating for that, or at least that's what I like to think.

....

Ok, maybe I just don't like Jedi.

I wouldn't support so called "Jedi" ability but I see no problem adding a F/S skills. Make the boxes 1 skill points each so you have to think a little on what you want in your templateor 0 just like the rest of the Piloting prof. and make them not count towards your path to the Jedi.
