If that means more rail shooter abomination space missions please stop wasting your time.

So less than half of the players have played one mission in the last 30 days? Wow. I mean really...

Please just remove space from the game. It's embarrassing.

It just confirms what we already know: players don't care about this boring point and click space shooter at all.

Also as mentioned above it would be interesting to see how many of the players did only the Cartel mission?

You guys are wasting time on the space shooter: it's B O R I N G!
I'm positive the number of active players is a lot greater than half who didn't play a single warzone during the last 30 days.

I only do a space mission when I'm beyond bored yet I don't feel like logging off.

Until space is actually "space" and we have no more rails, I don't see a point in having this 90's arcade game in TOR.

We need:
More Warzones
More armor (as in many different styles..not different colors....)

To address another point brought up in the OP, it's important to note that we are working to bring more Space Combat in addition to the many other types of content that players enjoy (including things like the new Operation, Terror from Beyond, and the new Warzone we talked about at Gamescom).
Thank you for this information Allison.

Can you PLEASE confirm that you (Bioware) understand that statistic?! Over half of your currently active players won't even do ONE 6 minute space mission. It's not that we don't have enough missions, it's that over half of your players don't even touch space...and I assure you, the bulk of players running space missions, are doing it for whatever reward is associated with it (XP, credits or tokens), NOT the 'fun' of it.

Is there any way you could bring us more stats like this? Like how many have done operations? How many have done WZ's? How many used the group finder?

Completed all the space missions on my smuggler, then tricked out the ship in all the best equipment (cybertech, and this *is* a smuggler's ship, you need all the top gear...).

Then I used to do the top space missions while waiting for PvP queues to pop on my origin server, don't think I've done one since PVP queues pretty much disappeared after the transfers.

Might go back and do some, would have an interest in a new mission.

What I would love is the chance for PVP space combat - blowing actual live Imps out of the sky would be fantastic.

I expected it to be much higher. That actually sounds like a pretty weak showing, as much as I like the space game.

How does that figure compare to other types of content, I wonder?

Skimmed the whole thread, and no mention of the 800 pound gorilla in the room. Well im not going to mention it either, BUT everyone who actually plays this game knows who those 50% of players "doing" space missions are.

I hate repeating everything that has been said but the more voices there are the louder it can be

- I really want space, it's not star wars without it, now that I'm 50 with good gear I find my self playing space more, but..
- its is seriously more difficult then it should be on those last few missions, I have upgraded my ship quite a bit already.
- its annoying trying to find the mission on the flight map, they are not marked unless you highlight over each ship.
- the rail shooter defentily gets old and repeative
- pvp dogfighting is what I cross my fingers for every time i hear the big space secret being brought up.
- cant wait for the guild capital ships either

Thanks for listening

I have failed every space mission I tried. Even shooting all the turrets I could as I pass the frigates. The ship I escorting still dies at end of first mission.
