Thread: Flying is still great...at the very least we have that
Nice post.
I'm touched by the sentiment *sniff* 
.
But seriously yeh, I think everyone who spends tiem on this forum loves JTLS so welcome to the club mate.

Most ppl seem to think of JTL as just a sideshow, or diversion from "the real game".
JTL, is my real game. Only reason i subbed to SWG at all. Infact, until the expansion was announced, i had no intention of touching this game with a cattleprod. The ground both pre and post CU is about the same to me - i don't care either way.
If space ever gets fubar'ed, it's adious muchacho's!
It's interesting that you bring this up, because my entire guild has just gone 'space jockey'. We're hanging up our armor (literally, our PA Hall looks like a British museum now, for vader's sake...), all put on our flight suits, and are headed up for the stars.
As you said, pilot is now my 'primary' profession =)
Amen brothers.
Ground is for storing loot, space is where I play

And that is why, i haven't joined any guilds in awhile.
>>space is where I play
Me, "so you have an active JTL group"
Them, "well we have a person or two trying to master pilot, i kinda gave up at 4/3/3/3 though. Hey you wanna go on a krayt hunt?"
Me, "hmm i see".
>>Ground is for storing loot
Me, "So does your guild require town residency"
Them, "Yeah."
Me, "dont suppose you can make an exception? I live 1K meters from a starport and have no lots to spare, moving for me would be a real PITA.
Them, "we really like to have everyone in town"
Me, "hmm i see, well thanks anyway."
Yes, I must give the devs credit; they are brilliant! How better to revive the space game than to ruin the ground combat? I just tried the new combat today and I was killed by a green dotted animal!!! 
All of a sudden, pilots in my guild are returning to space. One member claims that his space lag was fixed. Finally people are getting back to doing what I was doing all along, piloting. For the most part, space has remained the same during the ground nerf. The only problem I found was that I wasn't getting prestige points, but oh well.

The suits of armor; I get it! 
Nothing in JTL matches screaming over the DMZ at NOE in an F-16C with a load of 1000lb LGBs en route to a weapons bunker, or in Lock On, unloading the GAU-9 into a column of T-72s.
If JTL had that, I'd stick around - but shooting the same damn things over and over and over and over ad infinitum just ain't my idea of wholesome gaming. If I wanted that I'd play a scripted FPS.
Unfortunately i think the answer is no, so were stuck with JTL until then =(
