Can we PLEASE be allowed to do something..ANYTHING with these points?!
Many many pilots are sitting on well over 20 MILLION prestige points with nothing to spend them on. Sure there is the 30k cover charge to get into Deep Space, but on a good run you can easily get that back and then some. So it just keeps racking up.
Why not let us spend them on stuff. At this point I don't even care what that stuff is. How about special clothes. Flight suits, helmets, jackets, and so on. (I know the freelancers would like a new helmet and jacket maybe :smileytongue
How about a TIE helmet that looks like the Ace helmet only in black with red Imp emblems on it. Things like that

I don't know what the devs were smoking when they decided that ground combat needed a [nerf.] Space is the lost little boy.

Expansion and major publish coming in less than 3 weeks, and this again? yeesh grow a little patience and wait until may 6-7 before you go begging. If they don't add any uses for prestige in RotW, then its worth bringing this up AGAIN, but until then, try going to read the focus thread on this very subject in the Pilot forum, instead of starting yet another thread on it.

If they finally do give us something to do with prestige points, what are the odds that the Devs will reset everyone's points to zero? If they added FS conversion, anyone with 30 million prestige could make an unbalanced jump in advancement. If they added the ability to purchase items with prestige, someone could buy every item at once, again making their prestige worthless. Just a thought.

Any idea on how taht skill reset works? In my rush to see what was doing with JTL, i pressed the "later" button on the popup box. Now it wont come back
I suppose i could see whats doing in space (*cough* this is the JTL forum after all), but other than some different targeting that kind reminds me of another game i played at some poitn (but can't quite put my finger on the name) wasn't much to see. If you want to check stuff out for yourself let me know, i can hook you up.

I like the idea of being able to use prestige points to re-purchase reward items, just in case you wear your original ones out. =)
Perhaps a new space loot could be introduced as well that could also be purchased from a pilot trainer. I'm thinking like upgrade kits that would behave similarily to an armor or clothing attachement. Drag it into a components and get a bonus to energy drain, pry or damage against sheilds.
Also there could be items that could be used like armor segment and have to be used when the SW constructs or RE's an item. Maybe get an extra 1-2% (it dosn't seem like much, but is is) on the new stats of the new part.
Clothing and furniture are pretty cool, but each new peice has to be conceptualized, designed and rendered by artists, coded, etc etc. Components upgrade modules would be just as much hassle to make, but a fancy new ottoman won't make my Nova spin any faster ... unless I pile all my furniture onto one side ofthe ship. =)

prestige points.... you use 30k of these points to go PVP. I think that was the idea to get people to PVP.
I mean you loose 30k points if you die in PVP but you get no decay to your ship in Deep space.
If they tweak the PVP in space a bit, these points will be used more frequently. I spend some time in deep space and the NPCs there are way more exciting, the Corvetts are way more engaging, the battles way better. But PVP is a bit underdeveloped but still I have a good time in Deep Space.
I just wish regular space had these big space ships to bash up! But that is what the points are there for. You loose nothing but points if you play. So why not?
