Dit weekend is de SWG Fanfest weer losgebroken. Op dat fanfest zijn vragenrondes aan de DEV's en andere lui van Galaxies.
Wat nu gesuggereerd wordt is dat Hoth misschien als PvP Planet het licht gaat zien en de invoer van Capital Ships 😛 😛 😛 .
Hier wat aanwijzingen:
I was just listening to the lok pirate radio covering the fanfest online and they interviewed dallas from SOE. He pretty much confirmed that Hoth is a go as a PvP planet. There was also a similar sort of confirmation for player owned capital ships as well. Just figured id help spread the word.
Actually if you want to be technical, it went like this...
Interviewer/DJ: Players would really like Hoth to be added, and for it to be low graphic demand landscape with a main rebel and imperial base and for it to be a PvP only zone. Whatsyour feelings on that?
SOE_Dallas: I think thats a fantastic idea...pause... and thats all im going to say about that at this time.
So its pretty easy to read between the lines.

SWG Main Director:
"the coming weeks we're going to revisit all planets for content, quests and make it feel like people are really living in the sw universe."
"we're going to make it that star wars experience we dreamed about when we saw the movies"
Meer "story-driven content"
Grotere rol voor artists en designers om een verhaal te vertellen. Een deel van de vrijheid zal waarschijnlijk verloren gaan, omdat ze anders je niet kunnen laten zien wat nodig is om het verhaal te vertellen. (losjes vertaald)
GCW related:
Longer term "advancing the story line" "do really cool things to resonate with the films" "directive content" "we want people to be immersed from the moment they start the game""statistically we now have more players playing the imperial side" "the joy of being rebel should come from winning the war from oppression, and from the imperial side laying the smackdown"
over een Hoth PvP planet, rebels aan een side imps aan de andere
"that is a tremendous idea, but that's all i'm going to say about that right now""we are going to announce more about the future of SWG about the lsat couple of questions you've asked" (hoth pvp planet, planet revamp, CAPITAL SHIPS)
Lijkt me wel tegek !
Capital Ships gaat het volgens mij echt worden:
zie deze quotes van bezoekers aan de FanFest
From what I saw, soon we will be able to take on missions from captial ships, attack some captial ships, and then board and try to take it over and fly it away. The only ship they seemed to attack/board was the Corellian Corvette but it was still damn cool. Sitting on a bridge of the vette right on the captain's chair and seeing em hyper out was really something to wet the appitite!
Too bad they don't have a time frame for it!
No timeframe.
What was shown was an Imperial TIE bomber flying into the hangar bay of an ISD. The pilot got out, was requested by Lord Vader to see him on the bridge (where he was with the bounty hunters... think of ESB when he was 'requesting' the capture of our fearless heroes). With a Corvette sitting outside the ISD's bridge, Vader ordered the player to take command of a Corellian Corvette outside of the ISD. The pilot launched and docked with the Corvette and had to blast his way through the crew to the bridge where he brought up the radial on a chair and hyperspaced to Naboo.
Sorry, just got home. From what we seen, there are some capital class ships you WILL be able to pilot. They did show the pilot jump into hyperspace, including pulling CTRL + V, and picking the system to hyperspace into. Now there were 3 chairs total on the bridge of the corvette he took off on. Now I don't know if there will be gun turrets in these scale of ships for people to actually shoot out of, or anything else. We can only hope. As for the bigger class of capital ships, like the star destroyers, you can only doc in them. They will probably work like a space station, or even a space faction theme park. Each faction will have driveable capital ships, and docking kind. Most of this info is coming from taking to people in the bar after the dinner, so pinning down how exact this information really is will be hard. The concept is there, now they just have to make it a reality.
Thank you Lucas Arts, SOE, and the devs (especially Rhonda and Tiggs) for a great weekend!
