Deft Aklin Posted January 3, 2003 Share Posted January 3, 2003 As far when the game comes out, what kind of space travel are we looking at? Is there going to be travel and not combat? Will we be bale to purchase ships, but not fight in them? These seem like valid questions to me, as space travel is detrimental to Star Wars. Please let me know what you have heard. Thanks all.

Thew Rydur Posted January 3, 2003 Share Posted January 3, 2003 You'll be able to go on shuttles or something like that, or hire NPC's to take you places. You won't be able to buy ships or fight in them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wraith 8 Posted January 3, 2003 Share Posted January 3, 2003 The FAQ gives only one answer: 2.08 How will I manage space travel between planets before the space expansion is released? Players will have access to public transports that will shuttle them between planets. For a given leg of interplanetary travel, the answer is between 3 and 5 minutes or so. Of course, some trips take multiple legs. For intra-planetary travel, if a planet has more than one spaceport, it's a minute or less. As far as what to do, we hope to have mini-games drawn from the continuity that you can play while en route. and that is all you can do in space when the game comes out.

Deft Aklin Posted January 3, 2003 Author Share Posted January 3, 2003 Fair enough, I wish they would at least let people purchase their own vessels, but I guess that would make it even more problematic when the make the space expansion. Thanks for the info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Gaarni Posted January 3, 2003 Share Posted January 3, 2003 The FAQ is outdated these days though. This is how space travel will be like: You go to a computer stand, buy your ticket to your destination, go into the spaceport, wait for the transport to arrive (or board if it was already there) along with other people, if any. When the transport arrives, no matter where people are going, they all board the same ship. After that there will be pretty much nothing to do but wait till you get to your destination. The legs are still there so for the first six months or so, it is going to be pretty boring I guess to travel from planet to planet. Expect this to change though when the Space Expansion comes out.

JoKen Posted January 4, 2003 Share Posted January 4, 2003 I wonder how you will get from planet to planet when your part of a faction. I mean, you'd think the factions have their own transports. If everyone was using public tranports, then I think the factions in this game will be seriosly 'messed up'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bothanjedi Posted January 4, 2003 Share Posted January 4, 2003 Hey, that's pretty cool when you look at from a consevative point of view... but isn't there going to be a problem with massive lines, or are there going to be multiple kiosks per space port? I mean there are going tobe thousands of people on each server, who is this possible problem going to be kept in check? And I say the more time they give me to get credits for my ship the better, I'm talking one huge pay-out to modify my own ship. Oh, and Waith, you didn't answer one of the questions, will we be able to design our own ships or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thew Rydur Posted January 5, 2003 Share Posted January 5, 2003 You won't be able to steal things in the game, so I don't think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoKen Posted January 5, 2003 Share Posted January 5, 2003 I believe you can kill people and pick up stuff, but as for stolen creds, I guess if you were feeling suicidal you could. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deft Aklin Posted January 6, 2003 Author Share Posted January 6, 2003 Oh come on, what's more fun than a pick pocketing Squib with your cred stick? I think stealing should be allowed, but only with OOC approval. Obviously stealing would happen, but as long as OOC approval is required, then it should be alright. I don't know, maybe that's just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deft Aklin Posted January 6, 2003 Author Share Posted January 6, 2003 They should have a disclaimer and set ground rules. Obviously, there wouldn't be any problems stealing if everyone wasn't always trying to do it. A character would not try and steal credits from Chewbacca for instance. Also, a wealthy character would probably not steal. If a valid IC reason for the theft did exist though, I would have no problem letting someone steal from me. I will survive. It is after all, just a game. Some people might feel that the loss of something might be detrimental, if that were the case, work something out with the character in question. This of course, is still just my opinion. Thanks for the back up on that Wraith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoKen Posted January 6, 2003 Share Posted January 6, 2003 Yeah, you should be able to steal, but not everywhere. You wouldn't see somone running down the street stealing from everyone. It just wouldn't be realistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deft Aklin Posted January 7, 2003 Author Share Posted January 7, 2003 Obviously someone would try to make a living out of pick pocketing. Of course, such a person would probably be a victim to natural selection. Ie. Only the strong survive, and I would snuff the little prick out if I caught him.

JoKen Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 Well if you tried to be a pick-pocketer yo definately wouldn't be wanted and probably be eliminated after a short period of time. But can we be getting back to space, because this is getting a little off topic... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corpocus Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 Stealing can be worked out easy. Have a machine set up just for picking if you wanna be able to steal or not. You walk up to the machine, choose that you wanna be able to steal but at the same time it means people that have chosen the same thing can steal from you. Of course if you never went to the machine to choose that you want to steal you are..pickpocket free, we will call it:) This way if you have a machine you have to walk to, to select this, people wont turn that option on and off during or before a battle or at certen places..once you choose that option you are stuck with it untill you visit the machine again...Of course those machines will be placed at certain areas and I think far from any populated areas. To become pickpocket free all you have to do is visit the machine and choose to be so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deft Aklin Posted January 7, 2003 Author Share Posted January 7, 2003 Not a bad idea Corpocus, but as Joken said, we are getting way off topic. What were we talking about? Oh yah, I guess that we can only hope that the space expansion doesn't take too long. Long enough to be done right, but not so long as we all lose interest in the game. After all, Star Wars is a space faring adventure and I don't think transports will fly for too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thew Rydur Posted January 7, 2003 Share Posted January 7, 2003 I think they said that the Space Exp. would be released 6-12 months after the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
