Is anyone out there loving the variety of gameplay that the space expansion brings yet saddened with its lack of involvement with the ground game?


There are a lot of us out there in a constant state of grinding xp for Force Sensitive conversion, yet the grinding on the ground level can easily burn a player out. Giving the players the ability to choose space as alternative for grinding xp would be a most welcome one.


Do jedi not fly jedi starships and use the force in their use? Did Luke not use the force in his pilot shooting accuracy? Are we not all bound by this invisible Duct Tape that is, "The Force"? Give me pilot conversion xp or give me death!


Can I get a /nod; /shout hell yes;for all those in agreement?!



Most memorable SWG quotes:
"You lookin fer summat?"
"Get on board the falcon kid. This place is gonna blow." (How can you forget something you've heard over 100 times in a row?)

I would love to grind Jedi in space. I think all the time I spend in space shoudl be just as good as the folks on the ground. Unlocking a second player slot is a big deal and it shouldn't be just given to ground players.

BUT

In the interests of keeping space from becoming the newest jedi grind game why not give space pilots a bonus player on same server for completing something...say all 9 factions badges?

That second account could have access to gunbaots, capital ships, and other larger vessls. Or something equally cool up in space. How cool would it be to see a player cruising by in a corvette? Or one pop out of hyperspace in a gunboat!

Leave Jedi out of this please.

After seeing what they've done to the ground game if that were to happen in space there'd be very little keeping me here.



If a poisonous snake is dropped on top of you from a gyrocopter, don’t freak out and shoot your own driver with your arrow gun, making the vehicle lose control and blow up. Its probably just as scared as you are.

It's not going to happen...but I'm sure the introduction of the Jedi Starfighter for the Ep3 promo BS isn't going to help matters.

Xp is xp, you should be able to convert it as you wish. No jedi skills in space to make them l33t, but you should be able to trade in your xp.

there should be ground/space interaction, but Space is space and groundgame is groundgame. don't blur the lines!

I have a Jedi, and I don't want this because Dant, Dath, Endorian, and Yavinian space would be lagged to high hell and gone if it WERE convertable.

Yea mate you do have a point there, oh and how's it going. Still I am a pilot first and formost...I would love to grind in space over the ground, but that's just me. Even if it were 50:1 or higher, I would do it in space. The only reason I waited a year to start this game was "Space".

The conversion ratio would have to be 500-1000:1. It's too damned easy to earn xp in space.

Also, starship xp is semi-exploitable in and of the multi-ace bonus would accelerate the grinding even WITH a 500-1000:1 conversion ratio. Eight squadrons mastered and 4444 in the last would be giving on the order of 25-50k per Tier 5 fighter, and even more for gunboats.

Yay, let's make SWG a game with only jedis!!!

But wait, if everybody was a jedi, noone would want to be one, since they aren't better than the rest of the population.


Oh, yeah. Kill the blasphemer!
