THIS tells me everything about your experience as mara in PVP. TBH I seriously doubt you played any mara past lv20.

Maybe this idea was already posted, but sometimes I am a bit lost in all this posts around here Arena racing! We all know swoop racing from KOTOR … either you loved it or hated it, it was there and it was must play. But the swoop racing from KOTOR was single play race against the time. To make it PVP ready for SWTOR you have to move the context from single player experience to arena type multiplayer race (as Pod racing, but in this time period Pods don’t exist yet) where players compete against each other in lapse race. Why this you say? Well, I can’t imagine SW universe without some sort of high speed racing … and because there already is some sort of riding mechanic in SWTOR, that just needs to be upgraded … and because this would give you something fresh to do in endgame. The race would be set in arena zones that represent the planets … for instance, Tatooine would have desert arena, Hoth ice, ect, where 8-16 players would compete against each other in 3 lapse race. When the race ends, each player would receive the race credits and race experience as reward. The entire race would be no longer than 10mins. For race you would be using swoop bikes (new type of vehicle as speeders should be reserved only for traveling … you don’t see racing cars on normal road do you?) which would be upgradeable the same way as spaceship (engine, booster, acceleration, manoeuvrability). You would buy upgrades for race credits (same way as you can buy pvp gear). To make it even more challenging, you could have race levels, that would be obtained through gaining of race experience and on which the swoop upgrades are then restricted. Matchmaking would be also restricted on those race levels, as it would be to unbalanced otherwise. As customization (that plays big role for end-gaming) goes, you could add swoop hangar in existent spaceships. You could also make different swoop bikes (different by visual design and not by stats), as you could do different painting for those bikes (the same way as you can customize look on companions). This type of “warzone” would also provide a good starting point for later upgrades … as cross-server ranked races, championships ... ect.
