Mission Terminals in SWTOR

Seems as if there may be other places to get missions other than just NPC, at least for BH.

I was hoping they'd have terminals like Star Wars Galaxies. Where you could pick a mission and get money and experience. That would definitely prove convenient in SW:TOR, but then again, it is idea stealing so...hmm
Heh, stolen from what exactly?
And for the pictures, I'm guessing Bounty Hunter terminal or Mission Terminal. I have a feeling mission terminals will be for money and/or changing alignment (dark/light/gray). Just a thought.

I agree to an extent that they will be for changing alignment. More then likely the terminals will be the repeatable type quests they spoke about. We'll have to wait and see though..... don't see too many voiceover options when you're talking to a terminal.. unless perhaps, its an ATM telling him his balance is low. I'm sure he'd have some choice words to say then.
Hmm. Are we sure that the terminal is for missions? It could just be the TOR version of a mailbox or auction house.

I hope to hell they don't copy ANYTHING out of SWG. They need to make this their own game, not copy everyone elses. The whole problem with the games out there has been that everyone has been copying each other (but mostly WoW) and making the games suck because of it.
I think the point of the two vid captures was the similarity in the floating symbol... suggesting it is not a mailbox or AH but a source of quests. So well spotted OP.
This feature is pretty much universal in mmos though isn't it? Notice boards with WANTED posters are the typical style. I really liked them in LOTRO and WoW and CoS... in Vanguard though I can only remember them being deadly dull "kill x rats".
Lets hope that if that is a quest terminal, and as this one is seen on the BH vid, that they are bounty quests for BH. Copying this from swg wouldnt be such a bad idea in all honesty. Maybe extend this to Smuggling runs and other class specific side questing. Normal story questing from ur talky npc, non main story class quests uploaded/downloaded at the terminals. I'd like to see that.
My favorite all time feature of SWG was player bounty. And I think SoE had an amazing bounty system. It really depends on how ToRs pvp works, if they will implement it or not. The way it seems, this game is going to be a bit more agressive then SWG. I can see PvE servers having Sith and Republic standing around each other. But I expect to see a lot of chaos on a PvP server, and really hope for it. I wanna experience Star WARS.

I'm with you there Greed. I want complete chaos in contested planets/zones/areas on PvP servers. That always makes leveling a lot more fun for me.
Back on topic. Those terminals do seem like the could/would function like wanted posters. The fact it is in the Bounty Hunter starting area just makes sense for them to contain repeatable or new bounty quests that you can pick up at certain levels.

I suppose it could just as easily be a quest item, like something to destroy or activate to continue your quest. I'd guess it would be that rather than a BH terminal.
