What I am proposing is for the developers to seriously review which would in the long term make them more money and more players go there to shop in the cartel market place by either keeping the packs how it is or by as mentioned getting rid of the packs altogether and redesigning the CM so that we can pick and choose what we want. I would think the 2nd option would encourage more purchases. Look for example how Trion has done in Rift with their in game market place store and how successful it is.

So just to clarify and this is what they need to by getting rid of the packs that are currently available for purchase in my opinion that will give the players more choices on what they want to buy and more players might go and purchase more items. If I want to purchase a specific animal or machine mount their should be a tab that lists all the current mount avail for purchase, or if I want to purchase a experience boost their should be a tab that lists the available experience boosts for that, or if I want to purchase a character emote have a tab that lists the avail one for that, and for a companion gift have a tab that lists all the available companion gifts available for purchase. This also applies to the different outfits that each character can wear and would like to purchase the whole outfit at 1 time instead of getting 1 item here or there in a different pack.

Who else would like to see the developers fix the Cartel Market Place or is it good the way it is?

If there is one thing that I really believe that the developers need to change is how we get mounts at random from the packs that they put up for sale in the market place. I do like that they are now adding besides animal creature mounts and hope that it will continue. I find it very frustrating that they seem put a mount at random and you just do not know if you will get one or not. For example I purchased a 24 pack and I spent good money on it and did not get a single mount at all. Yes I was able to put most of the item for sale in the auction house but what a waste of my money. Sure the other option is go you and try to bid on the mounts I would like in the auction house but to get more business the cartel market need to be re-designed so that the packs of items are each in their own group so the player can pick and choose what they want to buy. Hope I am not the only one that feels this way and if they did this I think more players would go and purchase the mounts that would more that pay for itself to implement this. Please make these much needed changes because you as developers would and should be wanting to encourage players to spend money in the cartel marketplace. As it is now it discourages me from spending money when as mentioned I can't get the mounts I want for my characters.

I agree that the character class ship should only be for the main character and crew and not NPC characters. What suggestions would fit well in the game for the player to be able to do more on the ship and feel more alive with the daily activity of what goes on in a starship. Maybe take what did work from the mass effect games and might work in this game also when they were out in space or docked at a base.

I would very much like to see you some more npc characters for each player class starship that for example are at the bridge console stations taking care of the ship operations. With the exception of your crew in different places on the ship, it just does not feel alive with activity. This is something that the developers really need to put some time towards to give us players something more to do on our ships when not traveling to this planet or the fleet.

I would very much like to have 2 or 3 more cargo bay tabs added for each character which would then let me if I want to purchase more cargo space from the cartel market place. Right not their is a total of 5 bay tabs bout would like to have more. Please add this in a future game patch update.

This may be going off topic some and some may agree or disagree which is each persons individual choice. I see no problems with this if the developers choose to add this feature somewhere in the character creation phase but with all the available character slots that can be added to each account why not just role up a new character with the gender of your choice which makes the most since for a developer standpoint. About choices and some may be ok with SGR in Star Wars TOR, my personal view is that it really has no place in this game but with that being said if they do continue to somehow expand on this, Please be considerate developers of us also and give every player the choice to either engage in or not to engage in SGR in this game. To just expose everyone to this who play this game is just plain wrong.

I recently purchased 3 of the x24 opportunist packs in hopes of getting the dewback mount which I do not have yet and none of the random packs had the mount I wanted. My biggest disappointment with the cartel store is not that they have exp items, companion gift items, mounts to purchase but it is the fact that how the cartel was designed. I am not in favor of buying random packs with my cartel money and only get items some I can use and others I can't or do not need. Sure I could just sell them on the auction house but is still spending cartel money that I get not much of a return on. What the developers need to do in my opinion is to change allow players to be able to pick exactly the items they want to use their cartel money for, if they want to buy only a specific mount they can choose that one, if they want to only buy a exp item then they should be able to choose it. This is just 2 examples the many items that that the players should be able to pick from instead of getting the random items as it is now. Maybe the developers will read this and consider making some changes to the cartel marketplace.

I have been playing the game from it's launch and have liked most of the additional things that they have added to the cartel store except for how the mounts are random in the packs that you purchase. Some the random items I have been able to use but what I do not like the way it is not that when purchasing 1 or more packs to get the mount I have purchased several and just are not getting any mount for my characters to use in the game. I find this very frustrating and really would like to see them redesign the cartel market place with tabs for mounts, character enhancements, etc so I am not just using up my cartel market money for things that I do not or may not use or need. Their is another animal mount that you get at random by purchasing the packs you do get random social and other items which are useful. I just would prefer to not have to just keep getting 10 or 20 or more of the same items in hopes of getting that animal mount which I can't remember it's name. That to me is very frustrating and is the only way to get it for my characters. Hope you make this change in a future game patch/update. I really like that you have finally added the much needed animal mounts and hope to see more of a variety in the future.

While some may like getting a new mount along with the other in game items when you release a new pack in the cartel marketplace, I for one would like to see a listing for just the mounts in the cartel market place because that is what I only want to purchase and want to have the choice of only buying what I need. I just would prefer to not have to just keep getting 10 or 20 or more of the same items in hopes of getting any of the new animal mounts that to me is very frustrating and is the only way to get it for my characters. Sometime when purchasing the packs you do not even get a mount and have no way of knowing when you will or how many packs to buy before I would get one. Hope you make this change in a future game patch/update. I really like that you have finally added the much needed animal mounts and hope to see more of a variety in the future.

I am not against PvP and the player base that enjoys that particular type of gameplay deserve to get this which could be a really great addition to this game. The main point I am making is Bioware needs to also with all the time that they have put into this expansion after is it released and when they get the AI and other features to work right and release content and game updates for the rest of us players that do not play or enjoy PvP but play PvE. If they do and I really hope and want them to it would be great for all players and not limit us to only one game play style.

I prefer player versus environment but what Bioware needs to do is release game expansions and content for both player versus player and player versus environment alike.

Great posting and I would have to say NO that this is a bad move for Bioware to only to release this expansion for PVP Players unless they will at some point release content for PvP as content updates after launch.. Maybe the PvP portion of the game has not gotten a lot of attention and this is a good way to give those players a lot more to do in the game . But what bothers me is that they seems to have forgotten about us PvE players with this expansion. What they need to do is use this expansion as the foundation and work out the PvP portion of the whole galactic star fighter space combat portion of the game and then as stated provide PvE content so everyone can enjoy this. Please give both PvP and PvE players a really great space combat experience that all of us can enjoy that will continue to evolve with additional features and content and believe very strongly that all future game expansions should be for both players groups to enjoy.

From my understanding this will be free flying and they will get rid of the rails combat altogether. Is seems that it launch that the expansion will only be player versus player. I do not mind that this is what they are going to start with but what they really need and must do is as they continue to update the space gameplay please do not just limit it to only player versus player. I have always enjoyed the player versus environment style of gameplay and really prefer this and please give us this choice. They really need to support this also for both PvP and PvE players. a lot of things to do with game updates. What does everyone think?

Well I hope that the developers will be adding player versus environment missions, content and a lot of other things for us to do after this expansion is released?

I am not a big fan of player versus player gameplay but is a really good starting point for the players who do like player versus player but I am very excited about the things they have announced to improve the space combat part of the game. I hope that the developers will also be adding player versus environment features and content, missions, and a lot of things also for us players who prefer this type of game play as well. So please Bioware Dev's do not limit this to only player versus player.

I for one am very excited that we all players will be getting space combat game play experience we can be proud> It seems that when this is released they are only focusing on the PvP game pay but I really hope that for all of us players that prefer PvE style of game play they will include a lot for us to do out in space also? What other space combat player things would you like for the developers to add to this game?

I respectfully have to disagree because and as a adult I am glad that the game has the rating that it does. I do both enjoy and play the mass effect games which do have an M rating which does fit with what the game developers went when they designed the game and written the story. Just my opinion though. This star wars game is and should be a game for all ages which is also just my opinion as a long time star wars fan.

I also very much would like to hope that the developers will continue with fixing the codex entries and thank them for the work that they are doing on this. Please also not only make sure that the codex entries work for new content but most importantly go back and make sure that they check and fix broken codex for all the planets listed here. Ord Mantell, Tython, Korriban, Hutta, Coruscant, Dromund Kaas, Taris, Balmorra, Nar Shaddaa, Tatooine Alderaan, Quesh, Hoth, Belsavis, Voss, Corellia, and Illum By fixing them this is a additional way to give us players who like to explore something to look forward to.

I would really like to see added to the cartel store a selection for both animal mounts and maybe some vehicle mounts. While at this time you can besides the tauntaun which you get by completing a quest which is good. Their is another animal mount that you get at random by purchasing the packs you do get random social and other items which are useful. I just would prefer to not have to just keep getting 10 or 20 or more of the same items in hopes of getting that animal mount which I can't remember it's name. That to me is very frustrating and is the only way to get it for my characters. Hope you make this change in a future game patch/update. I really like that you have finally added the much needed animal mounts and hope to see more of a variety in the future.

I would very much like for you to please add in the cartel market place a separate tab for mounts that we can purchase for each character like the Veractyl. Currently it can only be obtained at random by purchasing a cartel market pack. I do mind as so far have liked the random social and other items my characters have gotten in the packs I have purchased. I really would prefer to see a tab for just the vehicle and animal mounts so each player can choose the ones they want to buy instead of just buying a bunch of packs and never know when the item will be included. I hope that more animal mounts either as a quest in the game to get it or as a featured item the market place would sure be fine additions to this game.

I am very excited about the brief video that has been released and showed some footage about the upcoming space project. Please take the time to give all of us a full expansion if that is what this is to become for this game that has so much potential and would add longevity to this game. I really hope that the developers will take the time to really give all of us the space game play that in my opinion is very much apart of the overall story of the conflict between the empire and the republic. It has been suggested that their will be PVP battles included which for some players that is ok with me and I really hope that they also equally give us players who are PvE have just as much to do and balance that out. Having things for the single player to do sure would be nice also. Really looking forward to no longer be limited by traveling on rails and hope that this will be gone when this is released. I really strongly believe that the current space combat system needs an overhaul. While it may be true that some may like the rails combat as it is, I do not and never have. I just do not see the benefits of not having control of where I want to go, which targets I want to engage in against, and if I want to stay in the battle or leave the combat area and the freedom to fly where they want to. Players who play the game must be given that choice which we do not have. I would also like to see them give us players the ability to join up in a group of players to engage in a battle against a larger enemy much like a heroic or flashpoint similar to the planet side missions.

Those are great ideas and would like to see most or all of them added over time in the game. I absolutely agree that we need more interactions for my character to do on their ship and more things to do. Even though I have never played Star Wars Galaxies, after reading these replies I think that the developers should see what really worked in that game that the fans enjoyed and see about putting those features in this game.

Well I just saw the you tube space project video and I really hope that they are finally going to give us a space combat part of the game that I think we all who play the game have been asking for. Really excited and these are in my opinion must haves 1. no more combat rail guided ships. 2. space ships for each faction that players go travel where they want to. 3. both PVP and PVE zone or sectors for both groups of players. 4. have flash point missions for each faction given to the players at each faction fleet space station 5. random space encounter engagements for players in each faction. Look for to hear more about this and hope these will be added in the game as the next expansion.
