Some more issues:
- Afriend of mine had several houses in my city and i am pretty sure there was still maintenance in tehre for at least 15 days yet all have gone all of a sudden. Is this a new tactic? I.e. if someone isn't online for several months you just delete their stuff, even if there's still maintenance in them? I don't agree on this nor do i like the new change on structures.
If you want to decrease the number of structures on the planets increase the house item limits. Don't increase lots on houses, that will make people very upset and me included.
- Can you change the game so backpacks can be stored inside stationary containers, i.e. armoires, bookshelves, chests etc.
- Attachments should be removable from armor and clothing! A Simple pop-up menu where you can delete each attachment should be good.
- Attachments that no longer work should be removed from the game ASAP!

I wanted to come in here and whine about the crafting problems and rubberbanding, but i see some peeps have beat me to it.
So what else is there:
- 60 Seconds waiting time for shuttles is unrealistic, bump it back to 3-5 mins.
- Can you add Kimogila missions to Lok mission terminals for groups.
- Change the pet system! Droids are droids and not the same as pets. Make them belong to different categories so everyone can call 1 of each. Also droids, such as Probots are too weak to be of any use against other players. If i were to attack someone with a level 42 and a lower class, say level 10 pet,my Probot would be dead in seconds and i shortly after that. Is this balanced? Either add room in Probots so they hold more modules are enhance them.
- Explorer missions are confusing, how do these work? The missions on there never spawn at the given location, i.e. the displayed distance and direction.
- Make space combat better, ditch the current control system and pick up the one from X-Wing Alliance, that one is much better.
- Make space spawns more dynamic.
- Make space the STAR WARS that this game is based on and is supposed to be!
- More story, massive player missions/quests and live events.
- More types of armor!
- More vehicles, including combat enhanced (Dune Speeder, Gian Speeder, Flash Speeder w/Laser Cannons and room for multiple people) and fixed vehicles. I.e. if i see 2 seats in a vehicle it should hold 2 (i.e. owner plus one droid/pet or a player or can do it like in ANH), not just one. Speederbikes should be able to have one passenger be seated behind it.

You my friend are the reason the developers hate reading the forums. Get a clue this isnt Battlefront. And this belongs in the either development forums or CORE forums.

The devs have a responsibility to make the game fair for its players. If KSing exists the devs have a responsibility to eradicate it. This has nothing to do with anyone holding anyone else's hand. It has to do with providing a fair gaming environment where morality-challenged idiots can't ruin other people's game experience.

okay here is for simple minded people. you can't just ask them to add more stuff, you got to remember that they are patches.
Patches as in fixes on the original code of the game structure, they can't just decide to say "lets just give everyone tanks" then you have to worry about "does this newly introduce code corrupt other codes already set in" that is why when they put JTL and made you attack corosec suddenly the code on the ground made Corosec attack players at random. the instability of SWG can be blame on the fact that Devs are out there answering the "oh i became jedi but I still can't run into my house fast enought to hide from a BH" or the "I can't log out fast enought when a BH is hunting me cause I want to find ways to not loose XP even though its my fault for becoming a Jedi in the first place" comments. so before you come up with the "why not add a whole new proffecion" think of those whinny Jedi already making Devs bend down to kiss up to them and all the problems we are having because of it.

It is not.

I respectfully disagree and stand by my statement that this is a competitive game, not a social welfare state.

Competitive /= griefing.
KSing = griefing
You want competitive, then PvP.

A note of the krayt population boom
Hunt teams are running rampant stealing spawns of hunters they outnumber causing more damage and with no fear of repercussion toward them. The krayts have been spawning great but when other hunt teams steal a spawn which I define as a group of 2 or more attacking a krayt and a hunt team coming in and stealing the krayt spawn by causing more damage.
I at first was looking forward to this but such dishonerable hunting tactics by multiple teams has made me stop hunting krayts. I did submit this to csr with the names of all those who stole my last krayt spawn and still waiting to hear back from them.

Did you tell the group that you didn't like what they were doing? If something like that happens i just tell them. Most of them will then bugger off. Some will persist, but there's always something near to aggro on them.
MUWHAHAHA
