Well then aside from my feelings about the expansion and the Smuggler stuff...

I'd love to see Coruscant. I built a damn good system to play this game, and I'm sick of them dumbing down things (all those stability and other fixes that seem to have made the graphics crapier the last month or so) for those who haven't. Coruscant would be a nightmare for some, but damnit, some of us want the higher end stuff.

I think they should do a second space expansion adding some more interactive things. Asteroid bases, space stations, and capital ships that we can dock with/land at and walk around in. This would be a huge boost to the game IMO.

And finally, they spoke in the early days about how they could expand the maps of the planets that are already in game. I think it's time for them to do that. The wild of the main planets was lost when they implemented player cities. Housing alone elminates some of the wild aspect of the maps. I think they should do a creature expansion where they add more creature mobs and expand the habitable planets' maps.

Some days I really wish I could go back to the pre beta forums so we could remind them of some of the ideas that excited everyone about the game though. There was so much promise in them that I really think they'd be better served by going back to them than coming up with new ideas for expansions.

I'd like to see more of a tie between the space game and the ground game.

I suppose mining in space is sort of a tie but so far your ground professions don't do much for you in space and your space play doesn't do much for your ground professions. I would have hoped they'd have addressed this issue by now....

What positive things are you looking forward to with the expansion?

Uh,...positive?

Okay, I'll play along.

Hmmmm. Well, I AM excited about the new CURB stuff and I LOVE weapons.

What Planets would you like to see added next?

HOTH of course! But it would be cool to have a whole server devoted to a "Cross Server" Curosant (sp) as someone suggested. This place could be loaded with missions and special loot and hang outs. Then we could all get together and run a huge Smuggler ring together. THAT would ROCK!!!

Mining in space and a Mining ship sound kinda cool, what would you name yours?

I'm actually hoping for the Y1500- That's the one that looks like a hot rod, right? In that case I would name my ship The Stingray. I remember seeing that movie 'cause Luke Skywalker was in it.

I also have to say that when I read about being able to mine in space- Well, my first thought was about spices- maybe there IS something for us in this thing...

I know, I know! I'll stop talking about our profession.

Cybernetic limbs sound interesting, think I might want a new arm how's 'bout you all?

As cliche' as it's going to be- YEAH, I might go for a new arm- or just a hand if I can get it. I would also like to play a character who is really F'd up that way. Maybe Wasado will lose both his arms and legs- That would make for a really cool Bothan BH.

I would like to role play it all out- so's if I come across a Jedi and get my ass handed to me- then I'll get the new parts.

I wonder if the new weapons and armor they are talking about are the CU stuff we have seen(I say yes) and if so it looks like we have a time line for the CU (2 months).

Since this will be an on-line down load Im hoping we see more of these mini-expansion's over the next 12 months. Aside from an underworld expansion what other expansion projects would you like to see?

Hmmmm. That's a good question. Everything I can think of falls into what I would want from an Underworld expansion.

oooooooooooooooooh, I know- I would really like to see the Death Star worked into the mix somehow. Floating around outside of planets. People could go on board and have missions there- It could be on a cycle like the village.

And rebels would try to stop it from being completed if they failed they would have to try to keep it from destroying a rebel base on a new planet...HOTH!

Notice I said nothing about the Smuggler profession...This thread is for our community but not about our profession, have fun with this one /bow

Of course I'd like to see Hoth too, but I really want them to do it RIGHT, which means about another year to 1 1/2 years away. They definately need to integrate the Space and Ground games better before even attempting Hoth. Hoth needs to be Rebels zooming overhead in Snowspeeders and Imps looming forward in ATATs and ATSTs, with troops running beneath between their legs. Player Stormtroopers packed into the back of an ATST like motorized infantry, Snowspeeders blasting away at unmounted Stormies. THAT's what Hoth should be. A massive, planet-wide battlefield with heavy weapons, multiplayer vehicles and a constant battle for control.
Beyond Hoth, Coruscant would be cool, but would need to be implimented properly. If it's a cross-server meeting place, we couldn't take anything with us. You'd end up with goods and resources moving from one place to another. Could you imagine a smaller server like Shadowfire suddenly turning into a resource mining server for everyone else?
Of course, seeing Nar Shaddaa or Hal Hutta would be a treat. Even Mon Calamari would be a nice change of pace.

Mining in space and a Mining ship sound kinda cool, what would you name yours?

I'm a Smuggler, not a miner. Let the Miners have a mining ship and extract the resources from space. I'll move an un-taxed portion past the authorities for them. Again, this ties into Ground professions complimenting Space, not being seperate from it. Hell, I want commandos and squad leaders and soldier-types to be able to board opposing ships, but that's just me

Cybernetic limbs sound interesting, think I might want a new arm how's 'bout you all?

Nope. No cybernetics for me. It's like having a big sign around your neck saying "I got pwned and lost my hand/arm/leg." I'm a Smuggler, I'm the best, I never lose.

And the CU has to be free...what would they do make all those not willing to pay for it unable to fight?
