That's a lot of wants :P good list though. Obviously nowhere near all of that would be in 1.4, or it'd be the biggest patch ever - but I suggest you put that list in the suggestion forum ^^

- New operation & Nightmare mode for EC
- New Warzone (Huttball with a diff map! Love that wz )
- New PvP 'idle' zone on the imperial fleet where you can duel, with all the venders there etc: Or! move the hub to a planet!
- Animal mounts. I think we saw more animal mounts in the movies than vehicle, sad they weren't in release :<
- Mini game of some sort, maybe pod racing.
- Another legacy option of 'apprentice' and 'master'. I.e. The option to make one of your sith and apprentice to the other

Those are what I really want to see in 1.4.

In a word? More.

Yeah, yeah. Okay. So BW can screw up when adding in more... but they can fix it with the next patch. Not that I'd like them to break things first but I suppose actively using the PTS would be extremely useful for that. They just need to get on that.

Most of what I want would take too much resources and I want Bioware to get to work on squashing all the bugs and getting things working better. The bugs and broken mechanics are what started the downfall of SWG.

I guess the one thing that I would like to see is more playable species and a species change option. Of course new flash points and operations should always be added every couple/few months.

If things improve I would eventually like to see free space flight and customizable ship interiors (Like the Jump to Lightspeed). This could be an optional expansion that we would have to purchase to support the costs.

More exotic races, even if that means more "invisible" gear, such as helmets not displaying on Nautolans (Kit Fitso's race) or the Kel Dor.

Some of this wasn't good but their are a bunch of good ides in here. Especially doing something with Loading screens. Their are a lot of them and they get boring. At least add unique looking loading screens that feel very future-esq.
