1.) What new planets and space staions would you all like to see in Jump To Lightspeed and beyond?
2.) Why do you want this location added?
(I'm too tired to play tonight.Two marathon sessions over the last two days and my job was a monster today. Damn Apu, making me work overtime at the Kwik-E Mart...
"ThankYouSweepAgain!").
"ThankYouSweepAgain!").And since there's nothing new to chew on from GreenMarine...
1.) My immediate vote is Bespin's Cloud City.
2.) I want it in because I want to smuggle contraband for Lando Calrissian (he should be running the placeat this game time).Lando's got "supply problems of every kind" and "clients thatvalue their privacy".Sounds like he needs a smuggler to me!.
I want to compete in the "Galactic Sabacc Championship" that's been held there in the Cloud City Casino. Maybe even play against Calrissian himself for "The Key to Cloud City" or something (not ownership, but some other temporary abilities and skill mods type of thing).
It screams content.
Mostly, I want to take a Spice Fiend from Mos Eisely and have the Ugnaughtsfreeze himin carbonite, mounting him on my wall at the crib. Hoho hooo.

Love the idea!
Its almost wierd, just today I sat down and read a few pages from a star wars book a friend of mine gave me.... called "Han Solo: Rebel Dawn"
The book details Han Solo's life before he meets Luke and Ben Kenobi. In the first 20 pages, Han Solo is at Cloud City with Lando about to participate in the Galactic Sabaac tournament. The tournament lasts 4 days, and each player is indiviually eliminated from the contest, eventually Han and Lando are the only contenders left... and Han Solo beats Lando.
In his haste, Lando offers Han "As a bid" any ship of his... that Han wants. Han chooses the falcon. Lando is upset, but cannot deny him ownership of the vehicle, especially because he promised him "ANY vehicle he wants".
Weird how I read this on the same day I saw this post... lol.

Here, 'tonnio, take another wavelength from me and before you read anymore of that Rebel Dawn, put it down and pick up "The Han Solo Adventures" (in it's total form) or you can look for the first book of that trilogy called "Han Solo at Star's End".
IMO, "Adventures" is the better trilogy of the 2 sets.Both sets overlap,but I digress...
...and so did you, LOL. Orshould I take it that you'd also like to see Cloud City in also?

The best Han Solo books were the Han Solo trilogy by A.C. Crispen starts with the paridise snare, then i cant remember what the next 2 are titled, but they were killer.

Myrkr
Can you imagine the creds that could be made selling Vornskr to BHs to hunt Jedi, or Ysalamir to other people for protection against Force attacks?
Hell...I'd drop Pistoleer and go Smuggler / CH just for that...

A.
1) Myrkr
2) Ysalimiri <- it seems like they'll be in great demand... and they're gonna be contraband surely, so more fun for us smugglers 
B.

C.
1) Center Point Station
2) The Corellian system wouldn't be complete without it.
D.
1) Derra IV/Derra System
2) Large battle going on there, could be the large battle zone we're all hungry for (space wise that is; the Imperial 181st Fighter squadron, lead by none other then Baron Fel, was there!)
E.
1) Kessel System
2) How else are we gonna make the 'Kessel Run'?
F.
1) Alderann System
2) Perfect place to find pirates searching for loot, hiding out in the planet's rubble etc.

...for some reason I thought an interview said they wouldn't have new planets in the space expansion... don't quote me on that, I'm going to see if I can find my evidence...

I coulda sworn I heard that Hoth and Kashyyk (sp?) were coming in JtL. That could've just as easily been someone's speculation though...*shrug*...

This is from href="http://swg.stratics.com/content/gameplay/jtl/?Read=ShugNinx20040518&Type=devpost" target=_blank>Stratics:
1. No new planets in expansion.
This is correct. We're focusing on space combat and exploration. We will be
adding two new "wild zones" for players to explore from space. We definitely
want to add planets in the future, but our Live efforts are still geared towards
filling out the planets we already have. Once we feel that those planets have
enough content, we'll expand to other worlds. Also note that the space zones are
large and content rich, allowing for plenty of exploration. In a way, they are
like planet spaces that you can explore in three dimensions.

"There are ten planned zones for the expansion, one for each planet. You
reach space by taking off from a starport, Besteen for Tatooine for instance.
The higher level zones are around the higher level planets like Lok, Dantooine
and Endor."

There are only ten planets in the game...

I have two plannets I would like to see put into the game.
1: The Geonosian planet.
I think this would be a cool planet for several reasons. I would love to see abandoned Trade Federatons droids left on that planet, I'm annoyed by seeing them in places like the DWB and the Correlian Corvette. It would make since by putting them on the Geonosian planet and your Trade Federation faction could actually come in handy. Maybe even a theme park could be added. It could be one of the TF transports seen in episode 2. And there would already be POI ready, like the collisium, Republic vs TF battlefields, and so on.
2: Hoth
Hoth needs to be added for the simple reason to advance the Star Wars timeline.

I like the idea of Hoth, but i'm not sure how it would be implimented. Storyline wise, the base is just beginning to be set-up, and the Battle of Hoth is still around 2 years away. How weird would it be to have Imperials running around inside the base, yet it still takes Vader and his probes another two years to find the bsee?
What would be interesting, is if they did add Hoth it became a Rebel only planet. Basically, no "starport" per say, but you could purchase a "ticket" from any Rebel recruiter and find yourself at the base.
To make things even, i think you could create a similar Imperial only planet, say Cardia or something along those lines.
Now then, I'd also include on both these planets a smuggler outpost on the far side of the planet from the bases where smugglers could land their ships and deliver a handful of other people. No shuttle service, no non-smuggler ships able to land. To get to the planet you either have to be with the controlling faction, of find yourself a neutral/factioned smuggler to transport you.
