 Forget the Ground! September 20, 2008
Ok. Everyone here seems bent on destroying the game's reputation. Well, it's hard to do so when SOE did that for us. As a player of the original, and the subsequent Combat Upgrade, I have a varied experience. Did I like that there were as many jedi as there were? No. The time frame was wrong for such things. Did I like the original combat system? No, it was a little too confusing. But I enjoyed the game after the CU, and could not be found on the ground for long after the release of Jump to Lightspeed. Why you may ask. Well, to date, the space fighter system built into JTL is the best I've ever played. I've been playing space fighters for awhile, and trust me, if Lucas Arts were to package the space combat system as a seperate package it'd make a fortune. Unlike everyone else here, I am taking JTL for what it added, not what it didn't change. And this added perhaps the most fun aspect to the game that I ever played. I still keep my SWG account solely for this part of it. So, all you others who just want to whine how SOE screwed us all by changing the ground combat, remember that we still have the space fights, and they're great.

Do not buy this expansion pack. It is now free for anyone that has Star Wars Galaxies. It was originally released as an expansion, but after a year, they made it available for no charge to anyone who hadn't bought it yet.

SWG is sinking fast. Just stay away and wait for a better game. No, "Empire at War" isn't any good either.
To be fair, this is the only part of SWG that isn't completely bugged... December 22, 2005

I would recommend however that you spend your money on a classic like X-Wing VS Tie Fighter for the same (but better) effect. PVP is consensual - so if you'd like you can fly your little Tie Fighter in the middle of a group of X Wings and their lasers won't hurt you unless you want them to. YOu can get most ships that have been seen in the movies, but as Imperial you'll want to complete the "Jedi Starfighter" quest which gives you Anakin's Episode III fighter.
What is fun about that is that it's the best fighter in the game - so Ship building professions cannot build anything that is nearly as good and thus have become worthless... and with the advent of the NGE pushed into an even more minority status.
This expansion is also currently free with the "Starter Kit" that is also available on Amazon... but it's not really worth it.
I'd suggest buying some Chuck Norris movies.
This is the only part of the game that is worthwhile December 3, 2005
Truly I can say that Jump To LightSpeed is the only part of the new game that is worthwhile soley because it was untouched by the New Game Enhancements. The catch here is that You don't need to buy this anymore. Its been given away as part of the package deal.
One great thing is the possibilities of ships and parts you can use. You may see 2 of the same LOOKING ships in space but you can bet that they most likely have different weapons and engines.
Unfortunately this piece of SWG is not enough to keep me or the thousands of others in the game.
