<br><br>Hopefully it's more of a "there are so many planets in the game that no single employee has played them all" kind of thing rather than a "there are some planets which haven't been tested by anyone" kind of thing.<br><br>I wouldn't necessarily mind if there were planets which didn't have a lot of plot-advancing material on them, but were rather the "untamed wilderness" you can go motor around in and basically just level up. It's areas that *should* be full of activity but aren't which annoy me.

I think it's a cool idea, but I figure with a gamepad, they'll have to come up with something a little different than just grafting in Wing Commander-style dogfighting action. Still, the concept does have promise, and I'd like them to at least seriously consider it for future games.

They could have taken it out though, which would kind of suck.

I get the game. You press the button that lights up. But do you just tap the button or do you have to hold it down for a certain amount of time.

If you start off as another class, you might be able to do it - you'll know when you can do it because when the buttons light up, they'll be the correct colour on the controller.<BR><BR>That being said, once you get to pick your squad, you can choose members which better compliment the character class you want to develop.
