SWGEmu is looking good, it seems like there are alot of players. Perhaps the same as an average swtor server. I used to play on the Ultima Online free servers alot, much more than I ever did on the paid servers. If the SWG Emu team does get JTL working I will definitely be going to check it out. Since swtor will be going free to play I could just cancel my subscription and play both for free. When I want good space combat I can go to SWG. Until then I will still be hopeful that Bioware will rip out their space arcade game and put in a real space engine.

Yep I know exactly how you feel. I am relatively satisfied with ground combat in swtor, but the space combat is awful. Bioware announced some major space project and it got me excited, but it looks like its just new railed space missions which I will never play. I suspect Bioware will come up with some retarded achievement that can only be unlocked through space combat, forcing the rest of us who hate it to go through it. Similar to them forcing players to play both factions to unlock HK51. Also an fyi to Bioware... forcing players to perform tasks that are not fun defeats the purpose of playing a video game. Challenge is one thing, but wasting players time is just tedious/boring, not challenging. If they could release a real space expansion I would be swtor for next 5+ years with paid subscription, but what is most likely going to happen is I will be leaving for Planetside 2. I hope it doesn't come to that, but that is for Bioware/EA to decide. In summary I want 1. Free Flight 2. Space PvP 3. Player owned space stations/Guild owned 4. Allow party members to control ship turrets But it will never happen... Also please do not take this as a rant against swtor, I really do like the game. My major complaint is in regards to space combat. And yes I am willing to pay for expansion(s) and subscription. I appreciate the fact that new content costs money to develop.

First person is definitely more immersive/realistic. I would probably prefer it, but just getting real space combat period would make me happy. I also always liked SWG space flight, being able to walk around and look out my windows while people are fighting outside. There were probably some interesting physics in that game to determine camera orientation. I'm still of the opinion SWG space flight is about the only thing they did right.

At this point the only thing that will keep me interested beyond the class stories is warzones. And I can imagine that will get boring pretty quick since there are only 3 to choose from. Space combat is pretty much non existent in my opinion, I don't like it and I won't be investing much time into it. A free flight system is probably the only thing that will make me happy. But I agree a free flight warzone would be a good compromise. In terms of a list of expansion ideas here are my suggestions: - Increase level cap, new story (Obviously) - New Companion - New Faction (Enemy to both Empire and republic) - New/Faster mounts - Free Flight(Or Free flight Warzone) - New full PvP planet that can be controlled by various factions, similar to planetside - More datacrons - Gambling options such as placing wagers on warzones, or on duels. - Allow players to own racing speeder,replace parts and compete. I would like to also suggest that there should be no items in the game that require an expansion to use. This screws up the market since you won't be able to sell expansion items to players that haven't bought it. So you lose a large portion of buyers. Someone who pays money for an expansion pack should have the best oppportunity to sell items. The drawback to people who haven't bought the expansion is that they will constantly be paying money to other players for the items since they can't get them any other way.
