The only thing I miss about swg was the player housing/cities and that is only to an extent. Having planets maxed to capacity with dead cities was not fun when you had a group of people wanting to set up there own.
The space game was lacking, sure you could freely fly wherever you wanted but once you farmed out the helmet and maxed out your piloting what else was there to do but space mine.
The crafting was terrible. Nothing like wasting a few hours flying from planet to planet sampling all the resources just to find out where the best one was for the moment and on top of that needing multiple things just to create an item that you needed to create another.
I do think that this game could do with more classes moving a bit away from the iconic roles as well as more alien races but that could come in a future expansion either way I plan to play this game for a long time.
