Hehe! Best of luck with that, they haven't been discovered yet.

It was just a joke

Shouldn't joke about Ewoks or Darth Carelot will come to you in your sleep!

The stuff that nightmares are made of:

Oh

Awwww... Isn't it cute! That one could give even Grumpy a run for his money! lol

Lol

Right well I think the announcement of the Imperial Agent has blown mine and Harly's idea of the last Sith class being a Moff out of the window! Now I'm truly stumped as to what the last two could be.

I am still hoping for a support/healer type class for the Republic though. Something like Leia or Amidala would keep me happy (literally) if I decide to roll a class for the goodies, which I probably will.

How many planet will it be 10 or 16?

My original guess was 16 but now it's looking more like 10.

Yeah 10 looks likely.

In other news, I can't believe I missed this:

Aleena - unlikely difficult to model

I was about to go "she's not that hard to model!" then realised Aleena is also a name of a planet. Nobody tell her for gawd's sake - she has a big enough ego as it is!

Hmm only 10 planets at the start seems like too few, especially since each faction won't visit all of them, maybe they're bigger than we thought.
I've got a growing sceptisism about the game though that its going to be casual gamer focussed, with a pay as you play scheme, a short campaign leading to easy top level players, a pandering to lots of force classes.

I do like the sight of all these updates leading up to the new year, but it occurs - maybe there is a fair amount left to be revealed? So far we've seen classes, factions, planets and the timeline but no sign of species or any of the other speculated stuff.

BUT, has anyone else noticed that when you go to the "features" page, everything we've ssen so far seems only half of the total catagories? Check it out:


Which begs the question: what are the remaining four catagories?

Well, we have:

- Classes
- Planets
- Factions
- Timeline

Judging by other MMOs and a helping of logic, I think the other four are:

- Species
- Professions
- Vehicles
- Armoury

This could be very, very wrong, but those are my two credits.

Yeah, I'm definately with you on Species and I'm hoping for Vehicles (spacecraft?). Not too sure on the other two though. One might be crafting I guess, but I wonder if that seems to specific? Hmmmm....

Species is my only category iam sure off

Quote :

- Species
- Professions
- Vehicles
- Armoury

Yeah similar for me,
- Species
- Professions/jobs/crafting
- Vehicles/ships
- Housing?
I think housing was mentioned before not that I'm for either way, but you'd need a huge world enviroment like in SWG to implement it

Or an instanced area, like they did with LOTRO. My only gripe with Housing in general is you cant.....well.....well you cant do anything! Sure they're great for RP meets and the like, but how much cooler would they be if they were actually interactive?

About housing i think the are a bigger chance that will be like LOTRO then SWG, mainly because of you can add new Housing area without enter major ghost town like the times i played SWG.

By "interactive", you mean using them as destructible bases? Say for example you annoyed Mr.Angry, he comes to your house with a rocketlauncher and decides to level it. Or, you mean adding accessories as in sofas and hologram generators, as well as perhaps getting a droid to look after it. The former seems unlikely from what skills, weapons and areas the we've looked at (and destructability was never a big thing in MMOs) while the latter is definately do-able and in my opinion is essential with player housing.

HQ2 your ideas are great the have been fun with assault/ raid on enemies hq (House, Spacestation or something els.)

I recon you guys are right about professions (I recon that ones almost a dead cert.), and I think species is logical too. The other two are a bit wobbly but since we have a planets location section and a big question mark over the 'space experience' bit, I'd say a galactic map of some kind with hyperlanes info and space stations locations/space areas is possible. I'm not sure vehicles and housing would merit a holonet section. But something purely info based like the timeline makes sense for me. Some kind of podracer/speeder competition section perhaps? Or a PvP/Bounties/Gladiatorial leaderboard? Something mini-game related. A straightforward Holonews channel after launch for IC stuff? Anyway I'm rambling... I'm going for:

Species
Crafting Professions
Hyperlanes/Space Areas
Info (Minigames/IC Updates)

*Points at the gap where "Biographies" now lie*

ENTERING SMUG MODE!

lol seriously though I've been going through this thread and some of our predictions have been right on the money.

If we're not careful people might think we know what we're talking about!

Species
mobs/ennemies/creatures/whatever...
Equipment/armors/weapons/vehicles...
Housing

Sounds good like this to me... Or maybe that's only a dev's creation while he was drunk...

have no ideas what the three last post may be, but some wild guess history, equipment and ?

Well, we have three spaces left. I'm going to go ahead and nominate:
Species
Professions
Vehicles

As for Planets, adhereing to the common view of four left, what with that star map and all, I'll nominate:
Utapau
Agamar
Dathomir
Manaan

This is based on the tidbit that Lord Nord found on the Voss discussion thread.
