Let's get this shoved back up to the top, hope we hear some news soon!

In terms of a space combat related PVP gamemode, i think they should just rip Battlefront 2's space combat RIGHT out and plonk it into a PVP match. Start off on faction ship (Either Republic or Empire obviously) and get in a ship and start dogfighting in OFF RAILS combat. 1. Head toward enemy ship and land in docking bay, jumping out and heading to the ship's defences (Shields etc) 2. After depleting enemy shields you work with your team to sabotage the hyperspace engine. 3. After the objective above has been completed you can place charges on the main engine and blow the ship sky high. Bare in mind that this kind of gamemode would need around 30-40 player PVP game.

Can you tell me why it'll be locked?

Hey Forum, Since i assume a lot of the community has watched the "Coming Up In Star Wars The Old Republic" video i thought it would be a good idea if we can make it easier for the devs and not making them scower every seperate thread in search of idea's and give it to them in a thread devoted to these idea's. Rules of the thread: NO trolling or anger directed at the devs or at SWTOR in general, we want calm constructive idea's here. Must be related to SWTOR and no mention of other MMO's, we want original idea's here. Be calm and collective and stated before. Let the idea's begin. P.S Here is my idea for PVP style space combat. In terms of a space combat related PVP gamemode, i think they should just rip Battlefront 2's space combat RIGHT out and plonk it into a PVP match. Start off on faction ship (Either Republic or Empire obviously) and get in a ship and start dogfighting in OFF RAILS combat. 1.

Yes for the reasons below: I LOVE immersion in MMO's and Old Republic nails this one in the head. PVP is fun and exciting. Storyline for each class is fun and intreging and i always look forward to what part happens next. The variations of classes is a nice touch. Reasons why i may cancel in months after the next: Lack of enchanced space combat. Lack of new thrilling PVP warzones (Though they say they will add these) Lack of endgame content. Needed features that don't get added...Flashpoint finder (Group finder), guild banks and ships, removal of server sharding.

In all likelyhood...yes, but i'm keeping my hopes high that Bioware will realise that space combat is a huge part of the Star Wars universe and must have better implementation, really....really hoping.

Maybe in an expansion pack they could do it...that would not strictly be a special project though since you expect an expansion to...expand

The whole idea with the group taking on turrets and healing the engine etc is a great one, i'd love that just as much as the Battlefront type pvp.

It was mind boggling why they had devoted a small amount of the game to space combat, it was one of Star Wars main features that got me hooked on the movies

Kind of ironic i was watching this video before stumbling onto this thread... Anyway's Bioware has stated that they studied other MMO's and taking the best features from the others and placing them within SWTOR...i don't know many MMO's without a day/night cycle. The ambiance of the night was always nice in other MMO's. (Sorry to mention Wow here but...yeah good day/night cycle) Obviously some planets would go without due to the two suns right? none the less i would love to see a day/night cycle and i think Bioware should think to implement this LATER ON in the stages of the game since i think more important features should be added first.

Hey Forum, Firstly let me direct your attention to this link. http://www.swtor.com/blog/what%E2%80%99s-next-old-republic "We also have a special project going on right now that will expand space gameplay in a significant way..." What do you guys think this 'Special Project' will turn out to be?...personally i think it might be some sort of pvp based OFF RAILS space combat. Please understand that this thread is for pure speculation and nothing here will be confirmed unless posted by a developer. Let the speculation begin...

Very nicely done remix

Thanks you ever so much for the help...one last question which is bugging me beyond belief. My companion has a ablity to pull one enemy next to him with his lasso weapon rope...thingy...anyway he always pulls the WORST enemy and then me and my friend loose our footing, anyway to disable companion ablities?

Hey fellow forumers, I could use some help on a couple of subjects related to the game and i'll put them in bullet points to help you. What attubutes should a REPUBLIC Smuggler be investing in the most (Cunning, endurance etc etc) When i go into cover why do my ablities swap around and make things muddled...is this a game glitch or something wrong that i did? Do i REQUIRE those holocron things to do well in pvp or is it just a minor boost (Bare in mind i'm level 12) When do i gain my first speed travel? (Mount) Looking forward to your help, thank you! - D.Minion
