Thread: Will Jedi luck affect in-space loot drops?
http://forums.station.sony.com/swg/board/message?board.id=jedi&message.id=643974
Brekkee: *zoom* Will the fs luck skill effect a looted items quality after the revamp?
madtoad: I think it's very important that the luck skill be closely intwined with the loot, and not just in the matter of quality, but also in the matter of how often you'll see loot drop on mobs
madtoad: So, yes, I'm definitely incorporating luck into the new loot system.

First off, it's not Jedi luck, it's an FSS ability. One, I might add, that anyone can take (to include BH's). I don't see any reason why FSS skills should not apply to JTL. Just because you're in a ship means you suddenly loose some ability? You still have you're pistol skill, although I really don't see it being that useful while flying.
I guess the next step would be to have the crafting abilities not work for shipwrights.
As far as I know, no actual Jedi skills help you in space, only FSS, and I don't think vehicle control is currently one of them (although it should be).
To an extent. I still think that Vehicle Control should not be effective in space. I even have Vehicle Control, and I still think that.

/agree
Like i said, Jedi get no bonuses for JTL. FSS is available to anyone. No one is suggesting you add ship abilities to the jedi tree, the current FSS skills were meant for everyone to have and use to enhance their characters AND/OR on their path to Jedi.Crafting experimentation should apply to ALL crafting, Vehicle abilties should apply to ALL vehicles, etc. That was the original intention of the FSS system and I for one think it works.
The only two FSS skills that could possibley affect JTL are Kismet (luck) and Vehicle Control. Thats it, no others, and absolutely nothing from the jedi trees. If you count shipwright, then The crafting Experimentation and Assembly bonus as well, but that doesnt do much other than give you a better chance at high successes (it doesnt give you extra experiment points)

They cant implement a good enough balance to make it work. The groundgame is proof of that. Any penality or system balance will be scrutinized like mad by everyone, jedi and non-jedi alike. It will widen the rift between jedi and non-jedi.

Jedi is available to everyone as well. Open 6 trees and you got it. And it isnt that hard to open 6 trees. Just takes time.
Right now there are a few jedi wanting an entire pilot profession added just for them including jedi ships and so on. And the more players we get unlocking, the more people will want this. It doesnt make sense that the force affects non-jedi flying but jedi cant use the force. This is the excuse they are giving now.

Jedi get their own ships, their force powers work in space and....bla bla bla you know the devs will relent and give in. just wait for it.
All I want is a second character without grinding for days or weeks or months to open the dang slot. Jedis have been given EVERYTHING they wanted on a silver platter and pay no more than I do for the game.
Give me my second slot and i'll sign right along with you...give the casual players some love.
And, no, I dont want to be force sensitive or a jedi so im not going there anyway. I want star Wars not SITH WARS.
