With the creation of the LOOOONG aited Expansion, universe in SWG will have a great deal of complexity, giving room to elaborated actions besides shooting around ships.
To add a touch of realism, i meditating on some things happening today.
In the actual SWG we see we use our data-pad to carry around pets and vehicles, obviously it was a logical explanation because we didnt have ships, but now, i think pets, vehicles, droids, etc... should pay extra for transport from planet to planet, and that we should be able to keep pets and vehicles at home (undeed). Also, that multiplayer ships or ships big enough to have a transport compartmet shoud carry this items around, so for example if a have an X-wing fighter, with no room to carry my Swoop, i will pay a friend or whom ever to take it to my destination, this meaning the STORE fuction should be disabled, but so we dont have hundreds or speeders, pets, and anything else everywhere there should be some sort of inpound (that works just like a bazaar terminal, in which you can view the item, the owner and in which city and planet is located, and after some days the item is dumped if the owner doesnt claim it)in every major city, and after some time, if the pet or vehicle is not taken home to keep, it will be taken there and you should pay for it to get it back, obviously decay should be lowered. So if i want to be rideing my bantha all over Tatooine, it will always be there on screenuntil i take it home ans store it.
*anyway who will want to be rideing a swoop if you have a nice tie fighter to move around.
*and people will think twice before leaving their vehicles parked outside Coronet starport or The Geo caves, creating lag to everyone else.
*it will also generate some work for those guys who want to make some money by transporting things.

Too much lag and undercode to even begin to implement this..
Wait till JTL starts.. the lag added with just this, is almost unbearable....

Thats why I planed my computer upgrade to late October 
Now all I need is a dedicated Gigabit line from Sweden to the US and maybe (just maybe) can get my ping down to 200

my ping is never higher than 58 , maybe you should tone down shadows and graphics a bit

Lag was not the big issue here, with this it will be less lag but the important thing it will be more realistic, most people will keep their pets and vehicles in their house...
