  1. Hmm, for Capital Ships would have to choose the SD, way too much firepower on that puppy. For Spaceships, the MT Krayt. You can use it as a single pilot fighter or gunboat with gunner, it can be very fast and agile with lots of weapons. For fighters, the Vaksai Fighter, very nimble, very fast, very small hit box. For planet side, hard choice between the Av-21 and the BARC, but nothing beats a AT-AT to make a beer run in. No worries about being pulled over for a sobriety check. Aircraft would be the Dunespeeder or Snowspeeder. *EDIT* Typos!
  2. I played this game for the first 2 years it was out then left for WoW after NGE hit. I came back to SWG to give it another try but found the role play was no longer there as the classes were basically cookie cutter. Many people like how the game is now but all the old friends I had left the game or moved to new servers then quit the game also. Pro's of the game: 1.) Space combat with customizable ships with lots of quests and pvp (pvp is not forced except in specific areas). 2.) The ground side game has evolved into a pvp based game (pro for pvp'ers, con for pve'ers). 3.) New instances that are group oriented (if you can find enough people and are not sick of the same instances). 4.) The ability to own multiple dwellings and decorate them as you wish, same for multi-player space ships. 5.) Character Appearance Custimization. What hooked me to the Pre-NGE version of the game was the variety of classes and how you could be multi-classed, select from various skills of each class, to make your own toon or go with the fotm spec. Since NGE you are now limited to a small number of bases classes you can choose from. I also liked the Pre-NGE crafting setup where crafting was viable and there was more interaction between players due to needing crafted items. Reliance on other classes to defeat instances compared to the stack ranged classes for this instance or melee for that instance. Pre-NGE I was able to have a Master Bounty Hunter/Master Combat Medic/Pistoleer spec that allowed me the ability to tank, heal, or dps for groups. With the single skill specs now, my toon is not as adaptable as he once was, but by the same token, he is not as overpowered as he once was either. My Elder Jedi, well, he is a Jedi, no real different then all the others out there except for variations in gear setup. SWG offered so much for the player base whether you liked to craft, entertain, pvp, pve, or explore space. Granted, you can still do all those now, but how you are able to is much more restricted compared to what it once was. If more time would have been given to implementing the NGE and offering the new introductions while mainting the previous skills, classes, and viable crafting system I honestily think that many of the players that left would still be there and more players would be joining daily. If a new SWG were to come out offering the basics that made the original SWG popular in the first place, but adding in raid instances, group space instances, tweak the crafting system so crafters can compete with looted drops or use those drops and enhance them, balance out the multi-class/multi-skill combat system for fairness, enough small party instances to prevent boredom, player bazaar and forum auctions, enhanced graphics, and a real time combat system with more options to how players use defensive and offensive skills, then this new game would revive the Star Wars genre and be a viable game to compete with the likes of WoW, AoC, and Warhammer (when the last two come online that is). And I apologize for the run-on sentence! And let me add in realistic character appearances that are not cartoonish, that is what i miss about not playing SWG. You have to admit, games like WoW and cartoonish characters with limited character appearance choices is rather lame. SWG has the best in character design and realism that I have seen from other MMORPG's. And might want to add in choices of server types to allow for PVP, PVE, RP playing styles to allow players to choose a server that fits them.
