It is possible, but the conversion rate would have to be high... like 100:1 or 150:1. People would say even that is too low... I have heard people say things like it would have to be 1000 to 10,000 per point... which is insane.

Seeing as almost all points are fs related, I cannot see why space based xp shouldn't count. It really isn't fair for people who want to grind in space rather then on ground, to refuse them their right.

However there are people out there with millions of prestige, and this could increase the Jedi population rather quickly... for the good or the bad.





um let's see I can do 400-600k an hour straight up at 4444 with all 3 master mod that's 1.6-2.4 mil xp an hour at 100:1 that's 16-24k an hour reasonable imo BUT it take NO skill points so you have the oppurtunity to get all the combat reflex xp you need with no combat abilities to justify it. Let's just keep the ground and space portions separate COMPLETELY until you can land and raid a space station with a crew of pilot commando's to take it over and repair it from the inside.







Give us pilots our own tree.. force sensitive piloting experience. I mean who wouldnt kill for a space vehicle control tree and things like that?



Or just give us a tree like that but make it not have anything to do with the village or jedi and things.. make it like veteran pilot exp (you can convert prestiege into this) and you can get a boost to your piloting stats due to your experiences in battle

Bomberstrike. Alternately, get some friends up there with you. NPC wingmen would be completely useless. The AI is beyond pathetic, and they're NPCs on top of that. Low damage, high defense, just like anything you'd be fighting. If they stayed alive throughout an entire mission, they MIGHT do enough damage to have destroyed one fighter. You're better off with real people, who would (at least in theory) have real working brains and the ability to actually damage something.

Actually, in 3 hours. I can finish the Ranged Defense quest, and I'll unlock my second Jedi

NO! The whole point of space combat is that it's player skill, not a bunch of boxes and random chances for things to happen. One Ace against another always has the chance to be an equal flight. Keep the jedi crap out of space!

Sorry but JTL seperates the men from the boys, you have to use actual skills and reflexes to be a good pilot, not just stack [insert FOTM template and FOTM food/drink here] and run macro's like on the ground.

Prestige XP to count for something... YES!
To count against jedi / force skills.... NO!
