How about this, you make a 1st person shooter zone where you can land your ship and 1st person shoot stuff, NPCs other players etc.. have different maps CTF mode stuff like that. Maybe take control of NPC ships. Bridge the gap between MMPORG and 1st person shooter games so players have more varity.
Actually, I've been hoping for something like this since the SWG closed beta. I'd love to see the Spaceflight physics/mechanics along with the role playing aspects of JTL/SWG combined with the ground action of PlanetSide.
That'd really shake up the GCW.

As much as I like FPS games, I just don't that would be a feasable idea....

SWG is a 1st person shooter in space so it is also a 1st person shooter game DuH, I'm just saying to expand, you guys hit thenail on thehead though, make SWG also for people who like battlefront and americas army why can't it be for players who like both 1st person shooter and RPG? Overall I have a feeling that sony would do a better job than either of those games and on top of that have it wraped up in the SWG enviroment. Think of all the people who would come from americas army and battlefront and the tons of other games.

I like SWG just how it is. I finda lot of people don't like space b/c of the loots as some of you have mentioned, but it doesn't bother me that much, the loots are worth plenty of cash.

Whats a MMPORG?
its MMORPG with the O and P swapped around 
in case you are more n00bified than first suspected, MMORPG stands for (M)assively (M)ultiplayer (O)nline (R)ole(P)laying (G)ame
excuse my name calling please, but if you dont know what an MMORPG is then ur a n00b... you are after all playing one
if you doknow what an MMORPG was and was just making fun of him for mispelling it, then u are cleared of previously said n00b-ness
