Something like the swoop races from KotOR, but make them longer and with more people involved, maybe even ways to affect the other pilots. Could even use this to gain support for your faction from the underworld.

but.... Jolee Bindo...

Yeah, i try to play light side on my trooper as much as possible but go dark side when it seems reasonable IE:

^ this

so just because WoW had it other MMOs can't? Because that makes sense(sarcasm)

i see, well, back on topic, droids would be awesome.

i don't see the difference

You, sir, win the internet. I would love to play a droid on here, something like IG-88 or HK-47.

as much as i like this idea, it would be impossible to do quests. server NPCs would be wiped clean

then you wouldn't really have a need for different gear. They would just make like 5 sets of white moddable trooper armor and be done with it.

the ship is your home But I do hope they can find a way to do this. SWG had personal and guild housing with markets, stores, homes, prisons, anything really. Or they could update it to Jump to Lightspeed space and then add in like barracks or something on a guild-run capital ship.

i like this idea, i'll roll bounty hunter if they implement this

they said they were working on that at the guild summit

lmao, thats what i was thinking

Yes, we need appearance slots.

are you trolling me? because if you are, well played. If not, then I have no clue what you are talking about. I'm talking about this: http://www.deviantart.com/download/282146016/swtor_imperial_trooper_by_nagorkev-d4nzd9c.jpg Not these: http://images.wikia.com/starwars/images/a/a1/Storm1-vd.jpg http://images.wikia.com/starwars/images/7/72/CVD_ClonePhase1.jpg

what? i never said stormtroopers. I said imperial trooper, you see them everywhere.

yes, speeders besides the fast travel ones are way too slow

yeah, i loved in the end when I would be able to grab a gunship or my TIE Defender and participate in the Lancer/Nebulon battles. Also had those big community-run events where like 6 YE-4 gunships would attack the rebel SS in deep space. So I would like to see something like that, but improved upon.

i honestly think it would promote RP, as for the quests, thats why i suggested the instance thing.

well what about when

Do it something like Star Wars Galaxies: Jump to Lightspeed. - Individual players can use their class ships for combat. After they compete in battles, they earn tokens towards specialized ships, like fighters/bombers/attack ships that are more effective in battle, however they are only good at their specialization. - Have players gain tokens for smaller ships, like gunships and possibly even frigates. These would require a full group to operate and each individual person to operate a certain position, the size of the ship would require a different size group; Gunship - 4-man group, Frigate - Ops group. - Finally, have guild commanded capital ships. These ships would be significantly more powerful than the others but also require many more people to operate(say 50-100 or so). [Valor-class Cruiser for Republic, Harrower-Class Dreadnaught for Empire] These would be major space battles spearheaded by tons of players. They could play major roles in the control of a planet, perhaps giving bonuses to faction-specific players on the ground. I wouldn't og as far as to debuffing the losing faction though. This could probably lead into large ground battles, but that's an idea for another thread. Thoughts?

I hope so, i think the SWG dev team was thinking about doing guild capital ships before they shut down. Hopefully the TOR team can pick up on the idea and improve upon it. Perhaps It could be a hangout/meeting place for the guild and sometimes they could use the ships to attack sith/republic ships in space battles?

They could implement it as an instance so that the actual capital world isn't affected. Or make it so that it will be normal there until you play the battle, then it will be in ruins/rebuilding. Edit: Or it could be some kind of event that takes place, with activites for the lower levels to do as well.

you could say the same about the mass effect endings, but all they are doing is adding on to them. Both factions have unique looks that differentiate them, you see this in every SW game, movie, comic etc. Of course I think there should be similar armor but i don't think a bounty hunter should be wearing armor that was meant for a republic soldier.
