I am sure after the Combat/Galactic Civil War revamp, we will see soon a new expansion for our beloved game, probably it will not be announced until the game will be well balanced with the ongoing content, anyway just for to dream....in my opinion I think we will see the following things added in Star Wars Galaxies:
1) At least one new planet, probably an ice planet, but for continuity reasons not Hoth, actually I am thinking a planet like the frozen Antive IV showed several years ago in the Dark Forces game or better Rhen Var as showed in the SW Battlefront game. There the devs could put secret imperial and rebel bases, icy caves and dungeons with a lot of new mobs to fight. If more planets are in the dev's mind then I see in good position kashyyk or Mon Calamari, do not hope for Coruscant yet, time ago the dev's stated that the PC technology is still insufficent for to show this planet as they want...may be in some years...
2) New Theme parks, large like a very big city or even more. I think this time we will have a good probability to see Clouds City and Nar Shadda the smugglers'Moon. It Should be a good idea to be able to reach these locations with our spaceship, they could even be two new space sectors where we can dock their landing platform and then enter the ground portion of the locations. Try to think how cool could be to work for Lando Carlissian or do some smuggling jobs for Jabba.
3) Two new playable races, I think good choice can be the Aqualish and the Neimoidian
Any thoughts, what do you think the Devs will show us in the future???
(please be patient with my english...it is not my first language).

If cloud city is to be added. Id like to see the ability to actually fly around the planets in your ship.
Not just land at some space station, but the ability to enter the atmosphere and land pretty much anywhere. Or a portable landing site can be created by the pilots that lasts for say an hour then the ship takes off. But the landing site is your ship landed, not some thing that is seen by everyone.
Ive already thought about this lol.

I want:
1) The ability to board an Imperial Star Destroyer / Corellian Corvette / Mon Calamari or the like and continue the fighting inside the disabled capital ship.
2) Player-controlled space stations (for instance inside an Asteroid)
3) More theme-parks. An expanded Jabba's Palace Themepark. Not DUMB themepark missions. I am tired of saying "yeah yeah yeah, ok, get on with it". I want to use my brain more. We need more intelligent and immersive quests, missions, and themeparks.
4) I'd love another planet or two...
5) Holo-chess

MrLogical,
Iam sure that it's impossible to have the possibility to fly around the planets while you are in
the space. Right now for how is structured JTL the space sectors are only big cubes (even
too small and not so huge like advertised time ago) where you canfly inside.
In other words the vison of the planets in the space is only a cosmetic fact...there is not a
minimal possibility to interact with them, and I doubt the devs will change anything about it.

aboutyour reply, I think is really possible to permit the fight inside spaceships (like a star destroyer) they can becreated separately from the JTL part of the game, even more they could be even instanced, where you and your party can have
a personal adventure, avoiding all the problems derived from camping.
I totally agree with you about the Theme Parks, first we need working quest, (so please devs if you are remotely reading this fix all the static quest...expecially the rewards) and over all no more DUMB mission, we are tired to do the same FedEx or GoTokill mission...we would like to have some more complex task to do. Also we need more instanced content.

I strongly suspect the next expansion pack will be 6-8 new planets, 2 new races, 3-6 new ships, and a couple new professions. JTL was going to have 6 new planets added but after MUCH work on the expansion they decided to limit it to just the space sectors as new "zones" to explore. This leaves all the work they had on the new planets still sitting idle. I suspect they opted to hold off on the new planets to save time on JTL and to get a serious jump-start on work for the next expansion. The new races and profs will probably be there to give folks an extra incentive to buy it.
But that's just my theory.

I'm hoping one of the things that will be done is the timeline being moved up from A New Hope to Empire Strikes Back. The Devs said they were planning on it in an old interview, but they said it would take awhile to make all the necessary changes.
I'd love to see some new planets, and maybe even one or two that you had to have a starship to fly to. More themeparks would be incredibly cool. A Hoth themepark, a Cloud City themepark (with Lando, of course 
), and who knows what other kinds of themeparks. New ships, new vehicles, maybe atmospheric flight.
They should also let us go underwater. Open up Otho Gunga as a place those with the expansion pack can go (maybe even make Otho Gunga a themepark). Let players build customizable submarines and explore underwater, fight off critters and other subs, get special loots, ect. There could even be a new profession like the pilot profession, but a submarine pilot profession... and only have one, and you gain skills by training through different missions in Otho Gunga. No matter if you're nuetral, Rebel or Imperial you'd get the same missions and badge.

There could also be new Tailor schematics which could be Hoth survival suits (needed for the freezing climate of the planet) and scuba suits (needed for diving a little undewater... but you'd need a sub for the deep depths).
And let us have a real GCW. Make the Empire more powerful-- and not by just buffing up NPC HAMs. Their HAMs are fine, but there needs to be more of them around, they need to scan more, they need to "arrest", they need to shoot at people just for fun, they need to be made out as the all-out "bad guys". There should be race-specific rewards/penalities for the Empire, meaning that if you're a Wookiee the Empire may try to capture you. If you are captured you'll be brought to a prison cell and you'll have to escape. If you're a Twi'lek they may try to capture you and bring you to Jabba. If you're a Bothan they may simply try to kill you for being a spy.
We should also see AT-ST walking through cities, an AT-AT guarding the enterance here and there, maybe even some AT-PT. In Theed there should be TIEs parked on the tops of some buildings, Stormtroopers standing guard in front of the palace, medical center and starport. Everywhere Stormtroopers should hassle players and NPCs just like they did when the Imperial Crackdown first started (but then was taken away).

I seem to remember that Earth and Beyond allowed for some planets to be explored in ships. While in space the planets were just visuals but you could fly to a waypoint (the planets 'atmosphere) and "enter" the planet. It would be cool to see some of this as well as some of the "mining" like EandB had. As for added planets/races How about the Corporate Sector, Hutt space, or Kuat Drive Yards and Faleen, or...well I would say Chiss but they don't show until later.
Another possibility is the Happan Cluster. You'd have an opportunity to take on battle dragons and nova cruisers etc.
I would also love to see some new ships. Chiss Claw craft, E-wing, an alt YT (2400 etc).
Anyway, my personal favorite ideas would be to add the Corporate Sector and KDY. Think of the possibilities for commerce and ship building.

rawr holo chess would be cool
or maybe like a way to branch off your professions a little more.
i.e.:
Teras Kasi Mystic----an actual profession to become better at meditative skills and force of will type of things

Content. Plain and simple. It is sadly lacking it now. Get mission. escort , attacked by wave after wave, do something other daft and guess. attacked by wave after wave. Plz add some content.
