Jump to Lightspeed Date

The Star Wars Galaxies Website (thanks Frans) announces October 27 as the launch date for the Jump to Lightspeed expansion that will bring spaceflight to Star Wars Galaxies:

LucasArts and Sony Online Entertainment are pleased to confirm that Star Wars Galaxies: Jump to Lightspeed will release on October 27th, 2004.

Haden Blackman, producer, LucasArts: "LucasArts is thrilled with the Jump To Lightspeed expansion, a product of our strong and ongoing partnership with SOE. This first expansion delivers the fun and engaging space combat experience players expect from Star Wars."

Jump to Lightspeed adds a whole new level of fast-paced game play to the established Star Wars Galaxies ground-based MMORPG. Thousands of players will now be able to join their friends in exploring and battling across 10 deep space sectors in over 20 different customizable spacecraft, including iconic X-wings, TIE fighters and "Millennium Falcon" type transports.

I hope you're all ready to jump in your ship, wait for space to load, fly for 5 minutes toward your target, finally have the target spawn when you're waaaay beyond firing range, have your targets killed by a stooge flying around shooting at everything, and then land, load your planet zone, run to your nearest trainer to get another exciting mission of goto X and blow up the Y pirate/flight ace. Weeeeeeeee, star warsy.

Or the even more exciting missions of taking off from naboo, flying to some empty space zone like dantooine to kill the pirate/flight ace, and then unable to take on any more missions because you can't hyperdrive back to naboo space because it's too full. Excitement. (And the best part of that is, it doesn't tell you the zone is too full until you wait the 20-30 seconds for your hyper drive coordinates to compute and finally count down.)

SOE = the world's dumbest game design decisions.
