Wouldn't that be cool?
You could also land at cloud city just to hang out or shop till you drop or do missions for Boba Fett or Han Solo orDarth.
Maybe there could be a zone where you could load your toon onto a viewing deck and watch the ships flying in the atmosphere.

We'd all love it. Hence, it'll never happen. (You think I'm joking.)

I have an idea for doing han solo quests when he is frozen. There is a sticky note with instructions on him but boba fett really put them there and noone knows it until we get a quest to the death watch bunker

yes but in EU literature it's a precarious thing being highly suseptable to wind and yaw being almost useless relying on roll and pitch to not rip off foils.
interceptors are much better suited for this from taper and angled foils

Actually Cloud City would be a great place to hang out in, it didn't come under Imperial administration until the End of Empire Strikes Back, til then it was a free port of call.
The city itself is GIGANTIC, it would make for a whole world of play area (and pleae let players set up shop/market space, or rent apartments/quarters for living)
Not all of the city is the pristine areas you see in the movies: Down near the industrial sector and the main loading wharfs would undoubtably be the more seedy and shady areas that players can hang and do quests in, scheme, or combat underworld thugs and other bad guys, or a player could even take missions and quests from the upper level citizens (the richer folk) of Cloud City, maybe taking them off planet, maybe just taking them to the city's underbelly.
Cloud City/Bespin if done right could almost be an expansion all it's own, kinda like playing in City of Heroes, a series of gigantic city levels and zones, mostly enclosed spaces, etc. etc...)
And, of course, an NPC that it would have to have: Lobot!

Your right, it wont ever happen. The devs in an interview before JTL even launched said that they wont ever do atmospheric flight because it opens up too much for exploitation or abuse. To paraphrase what they said, "dont want anyone straffing the streets of tatooine".
