Jump To Lightspeed Archive

I've been playing Jump to Lightspeed since launch. It's been an amazingly fun time for me. Everything about it makes me giddy like when I was a kid. SWG + JtL is the game that I've been waiting for since I was a kid. A science fiction game where I can walk around a vast planet and then take a ship into a vast galaxy.

So far, it's really fun...but it's too specific. What and where can non-combat players go when they are in space? Multi-passenger ships are fantastic, but there aren't nearly as many of them as there should be.

Which brings me to the concept of player operated (not owned) space stations. These stations could be a place where players could gather for story swapping, roleplaying, refueling, and bounty hunting. I don't know, be creative. There are plenty of cool, fun uses an actual space station could have.

What do the rest of you think?

This was pushed hard in Beta, and I would totally love to see them. I think one of the MAIN reasons they aren't apart of JTL is that not everyone bought JTL.

I'm all for it, but I would like to see something like this be avalible for everyone, not just JTL Owners.

I mean if you think about it JTL has already brought life to entertainers. All of a sudden you have huge masses of people walking into Cantina's with 1000 BF and perhaps a blackbarred Mind. I think that if you don't want to fly around...you don't have to. There is plenty to do on the ground. I really think space should be for the people that want to be involved in Space.

I do support Player opperated Space Stations, and I really hope they put them in. But in all reality...space is for a constant stream of action. Even if Duty missions make your eye's bleed.

Bump for a good idea.

There were many calls for this in beta, I myself made a fairly long post about it. I'm hoping it comes in in a publish down the line. I had the idea that they could be more like PA halls in space, where you can dock (in an actual docking bay/hangar, that you can walk around in, etc.) and it simply has 2 patrol points that it goes back and forth between.

One day my dream is to be sitting in the lounge with a few of my guildmates playing some game or gambling or something, then hear a warning that a Rebel base in the Dantooine Sector is being attacked, and rushing with them all to the hangar and hoping in our ships,then typing/saying"Wratih 5 away". That, alone, would be worth an expansion for me.

I would like to see "permanent" space stations. These space stations would be factional controlled, and can switch factions depending on who wins the certain space battles. Inside ofthe station you are able to dock your ship, walk inside and explore. Certain space stations can have different features. They could have merchants, medical facilities, cantinas, etc. Each space station could be about the size of 2 PA Halls, and could hold around 50 people. When you want to launch off again you walk to the docking bay where you parked your ship (Docking Bay 16 for example). You would hop on you ship and type in /launch. After this a short start-up sequence will occur, (maybe 5 seconds) and you would launch into space.

Long Live the Emperor!

These are wonderful Idea's and the dev's have heard it a thousand times (maybe million). Come on guys it game is less than a week old, give them a chance.
