You'd have better results yellling at door knob at the top of your lungs. Suffice to say the cranial matter betwixed his ear lobes has the density and hardness of reinforeced concrete first poured in the 1920's. (As you may or may not know, the older concrete is, the harder it becomes as it continually cures throughout time). Hence, theres a high probability that one may abandon all reason and logic with the troglodyte at this time, and further enjoy the fun he has presented.

wow, who are you and what did you do with Ducimus? or did you just run spellcheck for a change?

I had a rare moment when i wasnt in a rush typing. Im acutally a good writer, just a poor speller most of the time because my fingers are flying over the keyboard so damn fast.

I am still against Jedi being able to attain any sort of Jedi oriented advantage in space, although I doubt he impled healing the ship and reflecting laser fire lol. He probably wanted something like +847239857938 PYR accel or epulse or something.

only thing I wanna know...what are you gonna do w/ force heal in space? It's not like you personally get healed and in all the books i cna only think of ONE person who could really do anything like modifying or fixing w/ electronic/mechanical stuff using the force.

See? That's all the justification that one would need to petition for it. Remember--a person could go his entire life on coruscant, pre clone wars, and never see a Jedi in person.

Jedi and Jedi powers were fairly unique and limited to a few during the era in which this game is set.

Since the game is implemented to proliferate the ~~uniqueness~~ of Jedi so that any Joe with four months of waiting and a couple weeks of slashing wookiees can attain Knight status, it is reasonable to the Jedi mind to allow any power, no matter how obscure or unique, to be within their purview.

It doesn't matter to a person with this viewpoint that neither Anakin nor Luke Skywalker were great pilots before they were Jedi.

It doesn't matter to a person with this viewpoint that many feats beyond the skill of a normal human were possible by a wide range of alien races, including the ones presently played.

It doesn't matter to a person with this viewpoint that there was a clear separation between a person's skills on land and in piloting in the movies. Obi Wan Kenobi was not an "ace" pilot, even though the Force was strong with him.

It doesn't matter to a person with this viewpoint that space is pretty well balanced, and that everything is already soloable.

So, here's something that will matter.

***********

MY PROPOSAL FOR JEDI POWERS IN SPACE:

Force precognition -- When an enemy is about to shoot you, a message comes up on screen, saying +YOU ARE ABOUT TO BE SHOT!+

Force missile guidance -- You can fire a missileby pointing at your target for a couple seconds, and then fire the missile. It will trace towards the enemy craft, but stands a chance of colliding with chaff, should the enemy pilot launch it. The user will have limited maneverability and be unable to fire again for a couple seconds due to exhaustion when using this power.

Force aiming -- Arrows appear on the screen to guide your ship in the direction you should turn to hit your target. Helpful against stationary targets like the bridge of the star destroyer, if you are having a hard time aiming at it.

Finally, every Jedi pilot gets a free u83-r starfighter engine upon signing up as a pilot.BECAUSE THEY EARNED IT!

**********

There you go. I'm sure you'll find these super-useful.

True. The OP loses by default. For anyone who doesn't know why, I present this fact.

jsut go back trolling the cess pit where you came from, IE, the jedi forums. You come demand changes for your own benefit while not considering how to balance it, or what it does to US, the pilots. SO go home little boy and play with your toys nicely

As aMaster Fencer I feel that I should be able to use my Fencer specials in space, After all I did WORK for them and EARN them.

I think things likeBody Hitand Bleed attack would come in very helpful in space, and again after all I did EARN them. It's also a huge part of SW cannon, fencers in space. In Ep3 General Grevious uses a stun baton to break a starship windshield causing decompresion, I am certed for a Stun baton so I should be able to shoot it out of my missile launcher and a windshield.

Wow... just wow. I was almost positive the first post was a joke, then I read the rest of the thread.

I want my hard-earned and self-trained pilot skills to be useful on the ground. I demand the ability to be able to carpet bomb jedi with my Y-Wing! It's only fair, after all...

I wonder howmuch fun it'd be toIFF when lots of npcs were attacking with many players in the area, epulse3 in a big clump of enemy players, bomber strike a single jedi, use a single space bomb to obliteratea group of people/jedi close together.

Uhm... you can use Force powers in space:

- you can heal yourself if you get hit by a plasma fire

- you can put on AI to avoid getting killed by said fire

- you can cloak to... I dunno, run around in your ship unseen? (what's the point?)

Now, if you're asking to be able to use these abilities on your ship, then I'm sorry, but you're nuts. Seriously.
