Then exit deep space and have someone kill you to decay your parts as pennance, don't ask to nerf other player's fun. Accessable and free play is something everyone who flies can enjoy. It boils down to the fact that it is not fun to have to constantly buy new equipment. It shuts the casual gamer completely out of the game and forces them to work harder than they should be able to just to participate.Right now a system has been created that allows the master pilot to load up, get up, fly and have fun in space without penalty save the possibility of having to face another player. It's a breath of fresh air that SWG desperately needed. The player economy will certainly survive through this kind of innovation, and there certainly are things that can be done to stimulate it in space. Dramatically increased missle strength is just one way, and the playerbase surely can think up others without crushing the casual gamers spirit. Involving the shipwright in a decayless repair process is another way. In the space of a few seconds I've come up with two ways to keep the economy going and casual gamers flying without a monotonous grind or losing equipment that may make it possible to fly their ships with restrictions of finite mass.In fact, I'd argue this new approach could make it's way to the ground as well, without impacting the player economy negatively. Bonuses to combat should cost the player, equipment to do it should not, or at least not much. Does this perhaps spell the end of the multi million dollar crafter and the one stop shopping mall? Maybe. Maybe that's good for the game though. My apologizies for the digression...My #1 issue is lack of a space PVP ranking system, the ground game has it, why not space? Add a kill leader board to the Space Terminal interface. Add a prestige leaderboard for people who only PVE. For extra fun, give the leader of each respective leaderboard a token to display. Be it a sash, different color faction wearable, whatever. Perhaps make it droppable in a house but only wearable by a leader. That way players can display their trophy indefinately, but only wear it out and about if they are the current leader.My #2 issue would be to increase the variety of ships in deep space and across the game in general. Let's see some MP ships with escorts replace some gunboats or vettes. Perhaps even freighters with escorts, and other SWG cannon ships. Attackable Nebulon B's, attackable/captureable faction bases outside of deep space with tangible faction benefits for doing so. Perhaps docking capability. Perhaps free decayless repair.

1) Content after master.
2) Money in space. Selling loot to chassis dealers was a great idea, but since the drop rates were reduced it's hard to make money. Suggestions; increase the drop rate, increase the amount dealers pay, increase money dropped in credit chip form, increase payouts for duty missions.
3) Weapon convergance
4) MP ships are too weak. They need slots for 2 (or more) shields and reactors.

• Paint Kits/Insignies for Imperial Ships


• Fix Taunt/Combat Spam Lag


• JTL only has content to get you to Master, nothing to do after.


• Trade Faction Points/Prestige Points for new schematics for ships/components.

• fix the freelancer helmet -- i miss my neck


• freelancer can't go overt to deep space


• shipwright apron/skill tapes


• make firespray worth the effort -- another gun, maybe?


• space mining


• make flight computers tradable from the datapad


• open kessel for ground exploration


• hostile space-borne life forms


• prestige points and shipwright xp = force sensitivexp


• atmospheric vehicles: tatooine dune speeder, hutt skiff, etc


• space poi badges


• space race tracks


• pleasure model droids

1. MP ships bug's, I havent seen anyone mention the missing 3rd ordinacne on YT or the YT booster (reverses controlls) bug


2. PvP damage, no 1 shot 1 kill, and MP ships need to be stronger


3. Droid ability to repair ships


4. Master content: badges, themeparks, etc....


5. Get rid of the 'Must be same faction to co-pilot'


6. No Tier 2 & 3 rewards from exit mission in Corsec

* And when you fix the YT's please make the fix retroactive. They are expensive, and to have to unload everything deed it, not to mention saving for weeks, and have to set it up all over again, is a little to much.

Some looted components don't have the graphic when equipped. For example, I placed an engine on my Dunelizard once and the engine graphic was missing but it was still able to fly as if the engine was there. Some boosters and cannons also have missing graphics.
