  1. Seriously? You do realize that ships from your own faction can be placed on the opposing team right... So not only would they have the same options for gas canisters but for ships as well... In short: horrible excuse for not giving everyone the same color choices.
  2. Screen shake... when the screen shakes... Such as when large explosions are going of, when ships take off, or the most annoying for me when Jedi Councilors use Force Quake... An option to turn off would be much appreciated.
  3. I too would like an option to disable screen shake...

  5. http://answers.wikia.com/wiki/What_is_the_gyroscopic_effect_of_a_lightsaber_and_why_does_it_pose_so_much_difficulty. This link explains the gyro effect created by the energy beam of a light saber and from a lore perspective settled for me both why the prequels had all the spinning and why old broken Darth Vader and untrained Luke basikly took baseball swing at each other. I've read the same info before in other location while doing random research on those time capsle like book items that were released, but failed to find those sites. My link seems to have some issues so here is the text... "The gyroscopic effect of a lightsaber is caused by the rapid looping of the particles of plasma that make up the blade. Positive (conjecture based on interception of Force lightning) particles of some form of gas are emitted from the center portion of the emitter matrix, and project to where the blade terminates. They then return to the emitter matrix (in particular the negative flux aperture or sometimes the blade shroud, depending on hilt design) This rapid particulate movement acts as a stabilizing gyroscope, much like the one found in the Segway (which is what keeps the Segway from falling over.) This stabilization means that the lightsaber will resist movement and rotation, though particularly rotation. Much practice would be needed to overcome this resistance with any measure of reliability. In the real world the same effect can be experienced by holding the axle of, for instance, a spinning bicycle wheel (which is, in essence, a simple gyroscope). It will be difficult to move in certain ways. This effect also helps bicycles and motorcycles remain upright in motion. In the movies, the lightsabers are actually rods, which explains why they move more like swords, and not like a blade made of plasma, which, in real life, doesn't (yet) exist."
