I'd do it tonight, but I'm breaking up with my g/f this evening.


er, not Valcyn?  I just started a new char there.

It looks like Heiliger beat you to my Valcyn gear. If he doesn't want it though, you're more than welcome to it.

Ah, well whatever's clever.  Noobs can share :).

I'm pretty clueless for the time being.  Some fellers set me up with a house on Talin... I think they expect taxes outta me eventually.

Question about space combat:  How separate is it from the rest of the game?  Anything you might achieve 'on the ground' affect your performance in space (or vice versa)?

Sure, if you are still willing, then yeah, I'll take it!

Its cause of the dashing,daring,and swashbuckling figure I cut in my Imperial Navy Officers uniform.


edit: got a sullustan who is gonna be a privateer on sunrunner. Named Hampster. I need to figure out the ground stuff, spent the whole time either in space or running to and from space trainers.

If you need someone to run around with, let me know.  I started over with a new character on Valcyn.  I wanted to be Rodian, but the armor restrictions won't let you wear most of the cool stuff.  Anyway, I am a human named "Hagio Irenaeus" and I planned on taking the bounty hunter+creature handler route, but we shall see if I actually do it or not.  If you are up for some ground exploration, let me know and we can hook up.

I mostly play Sunday night and  Monday and Tuesday mornings + nights.  Sunday - Tuesday is my weekend.


***Oops I overlooked that you were using a different character on Sunrunner.  Well, if your Imperial pilot gets bored...

I wish I could be more helpful, but I am a noob and this is all I could find:

How do I land at and gain access to theme parks

It seems you can interact with each planet and perform ground missions, but how helpful it is to a pilot? - I don't know.  Extra faction points?  Money?  A break from flying?  

:confused:

You guys need to look for the (pick your faction) Pilot Trainer. He'll appear on your "m" map overlay in cities that have them. I know Coronet has a neutral trainer. Do the missions, collect the xp, sometimes you get rewarded with a skill you don't have to buy.

Oct: On the ground, the only thing you can do to improve space flight performance is buy better stuff for your spaceship. Skill restrictions make it not all that important. You'll find it's a very long grind to Master Pilot. The fastest & most effective way to do it is to join a guild, find somebody with a YT-1300 freighter (mullenium falcon), and fly with them as a turret. You'll blast stuff way beyond your level and make xp pretty fast.

Indy, let me know when would be a good time to hook up in-game.

I will be up for a few more minutes today (I worked all night), after tonight just about anytime over the next few days will work.

any of you play in Bria or Flurry?

I got 2 jedi in bria ;)

been playing since launch of the game and i'm appalled at how the game has been going downhill due to incredibly inept management and development.

Their art guys and animators are top notch though. First online game I see no glitches whatsoever with animations or art aside from the usual new-drivers/vid cards having a few issues but those get fixed quite quickly.


Too bad i cant say the same for their other programmers. Seriously, its as if they had released the game and sent the good programmers somewhere else, leaving people hired from the street to do things.
