If you think that our ships sould be able to fly in the planets atmosphere for quicker move ment please comment and let them know we want it!
P.S. with atmospheric ships we could use the deck and that would be a hell of a lot of fun

The concept's nice, no doubt about it, but you're introducing a twitch-based mode of play into a non-twitch based mode. Which won't work.
It'd be good if you could actually see your ship physically land, akin to WOW's Gryphons and Giant bats, whereby you don't control them, but you do get to see the world winging by below your ship.
I would much rather see Battle Tanks (which I've been told are on the way) and player-controlled AT-STs and AT-PTs. PvP only, of course.

They should have a parking lot deed, so that when you arrive at the planet you can just select your parking spot (which could be in your player city), and you arrive in your spot. To anyone on the ground, they would see your ship arrive and land as you loaded up the environment, much like when watching the ships in regular starports. And afterwards, you would just walk over to your ship, select 'launch' and as you load into space, there is another animation of your ship taking off into space. Of course, this would now require that everyone have JTLS, but perhaps that will be at a time when it is a free download. I mean, it is supposed to be the other half anyhow.
This is the best idea ive seen in a long time! Please put it in bold letters and nice large text so that the DEVS can see this wonderful idea.

In theory, this idea would also allow us to live in our POB ships - Which is what I've dreamed of doing since they announced the game.

QFE.
In all honesty, I would be happy with a cut scene of your kind of shiplanding, and then you appear inside the star port. It would be too demanding a job to expect to see everyones ship landing lol.
A cutscene or fmv would suffice just nicely.

One of the most un-interesting and un-innovative part of this game has been the loading screen. If they were to replace this with an in-game engine video of your ship landing inside the starport, it would make for a more immersive experience. Technically, it would not be hard to implement in my opinion. All that would have to be loaded is generic
scenery of said city you are landing in, and your ships graphical information, no need for it to reflect real time what was happening in game in the surroundings.

X-wings by Maybelline?
Rogue. Rogue. Rogue. Rogue. Rogue.
Rouge is something entirely different.

This is an age old idea... and im sure the devs have seen the other 1000 posts on this issue. If they can pull it off, im sure they will.

idea's like that and atmospheric flight cause huge amounts of lag which is why the devs haven't done any of these idea's so far, just not possible atm.

Yes, this would be cool, but only after everything already in the game is fixed 100%, we have a worthwhile gcw, loot is revamped, all professions have no more issues, and SWG2 has come out.
