Not to mention the rip off I got from SOE(http://mxoboards.station.sony.com/matrix/board/message?board.id=general&message.id=513) but anyways I want to know if any of you here from MxO also play SWG maybe I will create my main character on the same server.

Join me on the Radiant server. I'll help hook you up with some cash to get items. My character name is Giveen.

#12300000033 08/16/2005 16:54:48 Re: Just got Station Access, joining SWG

#12300000034 08/15/2005 21:36:36 Re: Just got Station Access, joining SWG
Yea, I joined SWG about a week or 2 ago. Cool Cool game. And, I found about 5 or 6 people already from MxO on the Tempest Server... All mervs though.. lol. :smileyvery-happy:
#12300000035 08/15/2005 22:05:54 Re: Just got Station Access, joining SWG

i bah swg especially since the CU still borked me and many of the people of the gorath server
#12300000038 08/15/2005 22:56:15 Re: Just got Station Access, joining SWG
I can't believe I'm actually saying this, but I'm VERY tempted in
getting SWG as well as MxO (something to do in quiet times between MxO
events.)



However, I'd like to know what's the space fighting like? Can you
travel around in ships with friends? Can newbies get into space battles
rather quick? (or do you have to save up to buy a ship or something?)



I'm not going to play it just for space battles, but it sounds like a
very nice extra on the side as playing an RPG character on the planets.

#12300000039 08/15/2005 23:05:55 Re: Just got Station Access, joining SWG

I hope their is Co-op space dogfights like when Luke helped Han Solo on The Millenium Falcon blast the sh*t out of those Empire d*ck heads! lol


Yeah I am a Star Wars nerd! But I am not geeky, I have a big brain but I keep it fresh! (LOL,  make me sound more geeky)


Anyways, I want to know servers people, what servers do you play on. Also hook up more people that you may know of that play SWG with this thread.

If you guys get on, I can probably get us all back into my old guild
easily. Just got to call up my formor guild leader on the phone and get
us access. we have loads of armor and weapon stored away. i use to be a
formor co-leader in it and use to be mayor for the city but we let the
city die.

#12300000044 08/16/2005 07:49:46 Re: Just got Station Access, joining SWG
All sounds interesting. I don't know if I'd join a guild in it right
away, might try to learn the game and experience it a bit solo before I
begin to join any guilds. I'd love to join the server you guys are in
though so at least there'll be a few MxO faces running about.



I'm still interested in the space battle side of it. Mainly as to how long it takes before you're able to pilot a ship?



Say I started a rebel character, would it take long before I can fly
the X-Wings/A-wings etc? Or if I start an Imperial pilot, would it take
long before I can fly TIE's? Would be great if someone could give a
rough estimate as to how long it'd take for a new player to get into
the flying.



Starting to really look forward to it... SMILEY

As an imperial player in SWG.. you can fly in a basic TIE right away, as soon as you visit the imperial space guy you get directions to when you start. From there it is a bit, then you can fly the Interceptor.. then the advanced.. and finally.. the mighty decimator.. which is an awesome multiplayer spacecraft..


I think the beginning Reb ship is a Z-95 headhunter, and it is just a little bit before you can get into your Xwing


There is just NOTHING like sitting in a turret while your friend drives blasting X-Wings out of the air... SMILEY
#12300000046 08/16/2005 08:02:50 Re: Just got Station Access, joining SWG
Ah good to hear you can fly right away...



I'm guessing from what was already said, that to get to fly a
falcon-type transport ship you have to advance down a ship flying
ability tree or something? Is it a long time before you can fly the
falcon sized ships?



Thanks for the info.

Yup.. in fact, to fly the Falcon, you need to progress down the Neutral flight path, which are different ships and rebel or imperial.. and you can't fly the sucker until you master the profession, which takes a while..


I would estimate with casual flying 1-3 months to master..

I seem to always get stuck piloting.. SMILEY


But actually..I kinda like it.. flying up to the corellian corvettes while the gunners fire away.. having mah trusty co-pilot running the droid commands and keeping us alive.. then backing off at just the right moment when 'she just can't take anymore!'

The co-pilot or the ship :p

#12300000051 08/16/2005 08:27:56 Re: Just got Station Access, joining SWG
What ships are down the neutral line? I'd be more interested in
piloting that kind of ship than working towards being a Jedi or
something.



Sorry, I feel like I've hijacked the thread. I'll try to cut back on
the questions and seek answers from the website or something.

Is it posible to hijack in a Off topic forum :p


Trying to remember the Neutral ships..


Dunelizard, Syck, YT1300 (Falcon) and some others..


And any Master Pilot (rebel, imperial or neutral) can also

pilot a KSE Firespray (Boba's ship)  they look pretty cool

but are fairly hard (read expensive) to aquire.
#12300000053 08/16/2005 08:43:26 Re: Just got Station Access, joining SWG
YT1300 :smileyindifferent:

#12300000054 08/16/2005 10:24:04 Re: Just got Station Access, joining SWG

Are there PvP servers? Are all the Servers PvP or Non-PvP, I want to know that kind of stuff. What is the lvl cap?


Man I am asking noobish questions. :smileyvery-happy:

No dedicated PVP servers.. though some (like Bria,
Ahazi, and Radiant) seem to see more pvp then others,
but that may likely just be a population thing as well.


Level 80 is the cap for characters, and grinding is a

fairly simple thing to do if you can find a group.


Hope that helps SMILEY
#12300000056 08/16/2005 10:33:45 Re: Just got Station Access, joining SWG
Thanks, so which server do you guys recommend me going to? I like more populated servers. Also if you can tell me, which servers have more Imperial followers and which servers have more rebel followers, I am looking for a challenge.

#12300000057 08/16/2005 10:39:27 Re: Just got Station Access, joining SWG
Flurry seems like a great server, very friendly to new players,
a decent fairly civilized GCW (Galactic Civil War),
and mid-high population..


If I had to recomend one it would be that..


Though you may want to check Bria or Ahazi as well,
they have decent populations.
#12300000058 08/16/2005 11:02:51 Re: Just got Station Access, joining SWG
No, not peaceful, I want a chaotic and challenging server. I will be joining the rebel forces. Know of any chaotic servers? Know of any servers where they have more people that follow the Empire? That is what I ment by challenge.

#12300000059 08/16/2005 11:06:00 Re: Just got Station Access, joining SWG

I would check Bria or Ahazi both then..


Not sure which of the two would have a
higher Imperial presence.. best bet might
be to do some forum trolling before creating SMILEY


#12300000060 08/16/2005 11:20:00 Re: Just got Station Access, joining SWG
1. You cannot just "start off in space" , you have to buy the expansion "Jump to Lightspped"

2. If you want a challenge PvP wise, its best to go to Bria or Radiant.
Ahazi is nothing, they learned everything from us Radiantites because
we went over to their server and creamed their little butts all over
the planets.

#12300000061 08/16/2005 11:21:11 Re: Just got Station Access, joining SWG
OH yeah, all servers are PvP enabled. You just have to go to an NPC of your faction ,and "declare" to go "red"

#12300000062 08/16/2005 11:39:10 Re: Just got Station Access, joining SWG

If you buy SWG I would recommend purchasing the "Total Experience"


It gives you:


1) SWG


2) Jump to Lightspeed


3) Rage of the Wookiees expansion pack


4) A cool BARC speeder that is quite the fast cruiser..



#12300000063 08/16/2005 12:55:44 Re: Just got Station Access, joining SWG
I run BHA on Chimeara, we kill Jedi all day long.


#12300000064 08/16/2005 15:47:00 Re: Just got Station Access, joining SWG


Who ever said I would not buy The Total Experience? Anyone that does not own SWG and plans to buy it and does not by The Total Experience is just idiotic. L O L


Anyways I just installed SWG on my computer, turns out it came with 5 disc so I am expecting this to be good.


I don't know, The Server Radiant is looking good, it is the only server that has gotten two hits on this thread.

I would, but grinding up Invest IV is a pain i'd rather not go thru again.


I got 40mil creds on Chimeara, enough to keep me in lapdancing shaved wookies for at least a couple of months.

SWG got owned today, they nerfed group xp big time and people are leaving by the dozen. If they don't fix it by the weekend they lose my accounts.
#12300000078 08/17/2005 20:29:11 Re: Just got Station Access, joining SWG

You've probably chosen a server, but if anyone else is asking about MxO players in SWG, I'm Drekkin Hart, Mon Cal Droid Engineer and rebel pilot on Wanderhome.


SWG will always be my first love MMORPG wise.

The xp nerf is tremendous.. I can't believe that they did that publish.. Newer players won't notice the difference, which im guess is what happened after the combat change. I wish i had just grinded to master all of last week SMILEY.
#12300000089 08/18/2005 09:37:07 Re: Just got Station Access, joining SWG
i will hopefully be logging in for the first time in 2 hours :smileyhappy: whats a good server to join and hook up with u guys for some help lol. This is gona be dodgy tho as my sation access starts 17th september and i cant get my free 30 days unless i subscribe to swg so i may get billed twice bleh. anyone got a solution to this ? or will it recognise my access wen it kicks in and not start billing monthly for swg?
#12300000090 08/18/2005 10:10:19 Re: Just got Station Access, joining SWG

#12300000092 08/18/2005 15:09:58 Re: Just got Station Access, joining SWG
