Setting: SWG Dev staff meeting

Assignment: Design and implement a reward system for prestige points.

Deadline: ASAP

Alright yall. I've been doing alot of flying lately. Racked up 4mil Prestige so far. I would like to see a system where I could trade that prestige in a similar way faction could be traded. I've come up with a few ideas of my own.

• A kit to add 5k mass to any ship in your datapad (or deed). Cost: 10mil prestige


• A two use emergency ability to hyper with no delay (the hyperpoint would be random, even in system).For those emergency situations yall can recall, I'm sure. Cost: 5mil prestige


• Anefficient engine with high YPR ratings, high speed, low drain,and super low mass. Cost: 30mil prestige


• Chassis anti-decay kit (reobtained when deed is destroyed). Cost 50mil prestige


• Furniture from the movies (game tables, chairs, matching sets). Cost 1mil prestige


• POB just like the chrome nabooian ship Amidala flies in. Cost: 100mil prestige


• Repair droid deed that fixes subcomponents on POB ace ships (droid datapad holds repair kits). Cost: 15mil prestige


• Monthly stories (like deadeye but in space) that require a certain amount of prestige to initiate. Badge at the end. Cost: 1mil prestige (can't lock out nonhardcore pilots)


• +1 datapad deed space. Cost:1 prestige point.

Of course, no dev will ever read this so it's simply wishful thinking. Feel free to post your dream rewards.I LOVE JTL but waiting for more content. I'm sure there is more to come once this CURB mess is sorted.

Well thought out presentation, a few comments though:

• Instead of an engine, an Efficient Engine Subcomponent (rated Mark I - V) limit use schematic that you can have your favorite local SW use to build you a engine with. Could add other schematics for various components (capacitors, boosters, shields, etc).


• Instead of a repair droid deed, a POB repair module limited use schematic that your favorite local DE can use.


• The +1 datapad deed space should cost more then 1 prestige point, at least 1 mil prestige

(Reminds me of the movie speed)

You're a dev assigned to pilot profssion, what do you do? (danh danh dahhh)

Your profession has reached a barrier where pilots have little motivation to continue playing as the content was not developed for them beyond a certain point, what do you do!!!


Dev 1: I sit back and ignore them and give them just enough to keep them from quitting.

Dev 2: I continually try and fix one problem that no one cares about yet keep breaking it at the same time. (Plasma leak thingy)

Dev 3: I select awesome pilot correspondants who rally the community together making them think change is on the horizon then I ignore all the feedback received from him.

Dev 4: I play with my star wars toys on my desk all day!!!!

Dev 5: I give Jedi their own ship that fires lightsabers and has near invincible shields!

Dev 6: I add pointless duty missions which are essentially just cut and paste copy's of mission offered elsewhere in the game and call them NEW!

Dev 7: I change the price on entering deep space to 1 million pilot prestige!!!

(All devs) oooooo, the force is strong with that one....






Seriously though your ideas are very good.

Few suggestions:
Extra 5k kit, 1 per ship only. (Don't want ppl turning Awings into 170k monsters.)
Engine thing - why not just have a system to spend prestige to build custom items. Each stat u manipulate would cost prestige. (Ceilings should be in place so you could end up with a component only so good)
Chassis anti decay kit - How about a chassis repair kit. Restores HP's to original stat.
+1 data pad space= 1 prestige pt. LOL yeah I'll take 5 million spaces please.

I personally do not like this one, or anything around it. Come on, how much do you really spend at a SW? I have gone through several mastries, and PvP in real space quite a bit, and have yet to replace a chassis. This is not a good idea, and would alienate the SW, who are bread and butter for some things, even more.

1) make new corrospondent

2)give false hope

3) annoy general public with lack of change

4) dirve corro crazy

5) corro quits after 2 hours

6) promise changes again

7) give changes a backseat

8) go back to step one

I am Teh EvIl DEVZORZ PH33R!!!!11!!!!

I guess no one is feeling creative today.

I think we all feel like the devs aren't going to implement any of this despite being very good ideas and things that would help the game in a big way. The first real addition to JTL is being rolled into the expansion and it doesn't seem to be address'ng the smaller more important issues like droid programs, pvp damage, MP ship survivability. I'm not looking forward to another 5 or 6 month wait to get a handful of changes to jtl that don't address the core issues we've been dealing with since day 1.
