Board has changed somewhat to a more up-beat and positive tone...but we still crack jokes.

uhm you all have heard of beta right??? Doesn't it exist?? Things can and will change - g
I fail to see how beta testing an expansionwill add new content where a year of development has not. Having participated in beta 2 and 3 of SWG, I can say that the focus is squarely on finding bugs and testing systems and stability, not on content.
I know quotes dont hold much water around these forums so I will paraphrase....
Having read as much as I can about JTLS in mags and net interveiws it has been said more than once that, beta will be about 1 1/2 month and will not be so much testing for bugs but more for adding in as much community content as we can.....Therefore:
It is still very much possible that during beta you could see quite a few changes including slicing space parts...so I hope that helps you some....and yes they "believe" that JTLS will be well polished by beta so take it for what its worth...

Well I'll try to be upbeat, I do want to fly a yt1300. I just wish we could get something to make a smuggler in space something more then a pistoleer I mean dont smugglers make their livings by flying better then most.

Has good and bad, I guess. Nothing in JTL for Smugglers, but then we won't be harassed by tons of people wanting yet one more thing sliced.
"Huh?" lmao are you kidding me? Think of all the business that would be sent our way if we could slice ship parts. I tell ya what if this turns out to be false rumor, send all the people who ask you to slice ship parts my way. I'll give you a cut of the action say .5% for advertising for me.
Uhura E.

He's the skinny, San. We have a possibilty of having 5 main "fixes" put in before JtL. We're pushed back behind Publish 11 and I think 12 (GCW and Combat revamps) so we're looking at March '05 at the earliest. The Privateer Pilot profession has more smuggling content than Master Smuggler.
Smuggler_Caylin is kicking mighty ass as a correspondant (and that's quite a bit of an understatement). Things are surprisingly good at the moment other than the same-old-same-old "wait and see" stuff and the issue you brought up about Smugglers and being space based.
As far as that goes, everyone's already brought it up and disappointed about us being just a good a pilot as a novice artisian and the CEC YT-1300 being named by Blackman as our content cause we get to "be just like Han Solo". It's all a bunch of **edit**, of course.
Like I said, you'll catch up. By the way.....nevermind.
no power up crap, no ship "buffs", no cheesey defences, no dodges, just fair
