Er is al wat info over chapter 8 maar je moet er wel naar zoeken 🙂

Dit kwam ons tegemoet.:
    DM, hope there is a small chance we are getting at least one space station.

    Even if its just a Tansari clone (including artwork), I certainly won't mind. Just remove the quest giver NPCs (or leave them as placeholders for future possibilities), but please, we really need at least one station where pilots can land and still call home.

DM: Space station!  Agreed!  I think that is *very* likely.

Dit is erg koel een spacestation waar je kan docken !.
I'll make sure that some designers stop in and visit.  With chapter 8, aside from the new ships and such, we are trying to find ways of getting pilots and the ground players more involved with each other.  There are some challenges there, and I cannot say that we have worked out all of the problems yet, but I think in the long run this is good for the game.  I know that we cannot give pilots everything they may want with C8, but I can say that moving forward we will make sure that we keep content coming in the space game as well as the ground one, and C8 is a down payment on that commitment.

We've completed the new neutral POB gunship for QA to review.  It's the largest and most complex of the three gunships, so it was scheduled first for completion.

This POB gunship has three levels, eight weapons (two forward mounted guns, four top mounted turrets, and two bottom mounted turrets), two elevators, an observation room, a recreation room, a cargo room, an engineering room, and a large bridge.

The other two gunships are coming along nicely.  It is possible we could finish the Incom X4 Gunship (Rebel) today.  We're having to tweak the turrets, due to the camera clipping inside of them.  The Imperial gunship is almost complete, as well.

Hi Folks,

I have discussed this with Blix and we are going to go ahead and not release to test with the gunship shield modifiers.  I believe the designers had some valid reasons for wanting to go this route, but for the sake of maintaining focus on the really cool aspects of this chapter I do not want people overly focused on those changes.  We will be logging and closely monitoring how the new gunships are used and how they fare in combat and as always reserve the right to make adjustments in how they work before going live.

Have a great Thanksgiving and keep eyes peeled for the release of Chapter 8 to test after the holiday.

DM

Ja duidelijk

It (an in-game Death Star) could happen. We certainly have the tech for it. Chapter 8, the next chapter after the "Heroic Encounters" will focus on space. We're going to have some larger ships, some Capital ships that you won't be able to board, but they'll be integral with various parts of the missions. They're not quite Death Star size, but they are massive. Much larger than the Imperial Cruisers. They will be very exciting. So we haven't released a lot of details about what Chapter 8 is going to contain, but I can tell you that we'll have some new ships that the player will be able to run missions to get parts for. They'll be able to craft parts themselves as well. We haven't done a lot of new content in space for a while and we feel it's time to pick up the pace. We're loving it!

ben erg benieuwd

Hi Folks,

Sorry if the Dev team been a little quiet the last couple of weeks but we have been heads down in getting Chapter 8 polished up.  I had hoped to release it to the test centers today, but it still needs a little bit more polish so I am going to hold it till Monday or Tuesday.  As expected we encountered a lot of challenges working with the space system which had not been touched much since JTL, but we eventually solved all of the problems and I believe we have an extremely cool release here that will have something to appeal to everyone in this chapter.  To just give you tastes of a few of the things you will be seeing next week:

    * Four new ships
    * Space Collections
    * New space quests
    * A new Heroic Encounter
    * A player Space Station
   
We have been tuning the new Heroic all week and I must admit it I think it is one of the best things we have done to date.  But unfortunately I am not sure that Loche has the right stuff (he tends to be the pilot smuggling us to the encounter...And he screams like a 12 year old girl when we come under attack (and we die alot)...Don't tell him I said that though.

Anyway I hope that we will iron out the few remaining issues this weekend so we can let everyone have a crack at it.  I know we will have a ton of feedback to digest once it is on test, but I want to get it into your hands as soon as we can.  Honestly we really will not know all of the subtle issues we have until the community starts playing the heck out of it.  As per usual we will be opening the old test center as well for the new chapter and we have modified the frogs to be more helpful for testing space content.  I know that the pilot community has been  leveling up characters on TCPrime, so we hope that they are prepared ...There are going to be a lot of epic fights in space I know.

There are a number of other exciting things happening in the game before and during the holidays (be sure to check out Valara's great feature on Life Day so this is shaping up to be quite an busy time in SWG (my beard is even more gray than normal these days.

Thats all for now, Have a great weekend!

Op WarCry is leuke informatie verschenen over Chapter 8

a new space zone ( Ord Mantell)

landable space station ( Nova Orion ) where players can land their ships and hang out. We also made it a quest hub for some very difficult, master-level quests."

a new Heroic Encounter ( This encounter takes place on an Imperial Star Destroyer ) 🙂
