Don''t Panic!!!!

The battlegrounds should be set up along the lines of something like Guild Wars (instanced areas with specific goals), WoW - pretty much the same thing or Dark Age of Camelot  (a large contested area with multipal goals what impact the game world) Somehow Star Wars has a galactic civil war going on that no one is fighting. (save a few Jedi and Bounty Hunters chasing each other around)

*Faction Rank and Perks should tie directly into a PvP ranking or score. It makes no sense that I can faction up (buy rank, buy perks) without ever having to kill a player. So you get your PvP reward without having to PvP. (Im a warrent officer II right now and never had to fight anyone but NPC's, I have an AT-ST and a Dark Trooper also.....I could go Special Ops or whatever but why? So someone can randomly jump me?)  There is NO clear benefit to PvP in SWG.

*Balance the professions so that all are at least viable in PvP. I believe this alone holds many people back in the first place. Everyone has Jedi envy.

*Specific / clear battlegrounds with specific / clear rewards. Capture the flag would be the easiest simpliest start. 2 groups, 1 Imp, 1 Rebel (or a new neutral faction) enter. Players gain rank based on kills and success or failure in the battleground. Perks could only be bought with rank gained (faction points) in PvP.

*unique settings - one thing that makes SW stand out from most others in the genre is that the action happens in interesting places. A battleground in the corridors of the Death Star, a battle on Bespin, on and on you could go.

*How about a large space battleground. Each side has a base cruiser that must be destroyed to win. Fightercraft would need to destroy the enemy cruiser while at the same time defending theirs. You can't get any more Star Warsish then that.....
