Since jedi are supposed to have great reflexes and able to see things before they happen, perhaps there should be a system in place that gives them a sort of "Jedi Sense." By putting a half a second delay or a full second delay on firing in the start of a fight (lasers need to charge or something),a jedi starpilot could get a warning of an incoming attack. With this a jedi could potentially save themsleves from a quickflame out by a volley of laserfire via an ambush or surprise attack. It may give a skilled Jedi pilot the moment they'd need to evade the attack or they could get caught unaware anyway. Having a system like this could sparea jedi from a quick flame out but wouldnt neccessarily be an advantage over a prolonged dogfight.


Other than that I dont know if Jedi should have anything else as Obiwan didnt really seem to have any additional powers in his encounter with Jango Fett in the asteroid field as seen in Ep II.

if the jedi had that they would rule both ground and space.... and its annoying enough they can own pretty much all on ground.... i say if you want special abilities in space, you just gunna be a bigger target, cause when people attack, they know they want to kill the jedi first....

Pity Darth Vader didn't have such foresight in the Death Star trench in Ep IV, lol.

Vader wasnt shot though, his wingmates lost their nerve and hit him.

Well, considering gameplay in JTL is twitched base - then none of the Jedi would have a chance. They all let their reflexes die, since they've:


a) Developed a really bad case of Carpal-Tunnel from artisan grinding.


b) Developed cataracts on their eyes from staring at the same crafting screen for days on end.


c) Become completely out of shape for sitting in a chair 24/7 for 4-6 months non-stop and not excersising.


d) Pressing F1, F2, F3.. etc.. does not require great reflexes.


e)Possibly never played a FPS or skill based game (which SWG is neither).


and finally..

f) They poked their eye out w/ their lightsabers, and have no depthperception and could never get a pilot's license.

Im not sure how Jedi will wok completely after publishes 9 and 10 but if you lost skills from dying in space after the amount of time you'd put into your Jedi wouldnt you be a little peeved to get blown out of space from asneak attack by 3 Tie fightersor something. Most people may hate Jedi in the butI know a few and they put a heck of a lot of time into their characters with minimal advancement. I have a feeling Jedi will have a lot of people gunning for them anyway skills or no skills in space.

no he was saying since all the work spent clicking and fiddling with the mouse they wont be able to use their wrists when they have to fly themselves. You'll know a jedi because they'll be flying in a straight line.

Erm, you were talking about a Jedi's ability to see things before they happen and have much quicker reflexes.

Please explain to me where my comment does not apply :-/
