Star Wars Combine

[GenghisK]

Awesome. I was just told a totally free, massively online game. Made by Star Wars fans for Star Wars fans. It's impressive, and totally free.

Check and see for yourself I am not lying.

 

[panzer_kevlar]

this looks really neat, especially since it's free

btw, I'm guessing you like KOTOR?

 

[Thrawn]

Theres things missing, but its not too bad. Signed up a few days ago, and got me a job with a transporting company.

Now I just need a ship.

 

[GenghisK]

Which race did you choose? Me corellian, with high starfighter combat skills

And yes, panzer I like kotor.

 

[panzer_kevlar]

Bothan! Spys are cool.

 

[Thrawn]

Chose Human, spread my skills out mostly amongst starfreighter-fighter stuff, diplomacy, trading, and vehicle stuff.

This real-time stuff is pretty realistic. I'm having to wait another 4 days before my ride gets here.

 

[Plexus]

Had to get a new email address... better be worth it.

I hope they have Kamino as a race.

 

[GenghisK]

Kaminoan, yes, but they only have 2% force probability.
Actually I should've chosen hapan, gand or mandalorian. They're pretty advantaged
Bah next time I die...

I just got the qualification email. Soon I'll join as a Coruscani.

 

[GenghisK]

Well, guys, Thrawn, we could pool together money and create a CFC faction, invest in a freighter for trade and money. When we get rich, we conquer the galaxy If somebody is interested in teamplay with me, MSN me.

 

[Thrawn]

Well I'm working for a transport company at the moment, have to see how things go. Maybe CFC could conquer the galaxy after I've gotten a few paychecks to fund our effort.

 

[GenghisK]

We could meet at least once. I'm paying a restaurant on Corellie

 

[Lord Paul]

Me newbie!

How do you get vehicles?
How do you build a facility?
How do you abort a journey?

EDIT: Forgot to log out again.

 

[Thrawn]

Sure, we could all meet up somewhere. Have a friendly game of sabacc. (If we can find an online one that lets us play against each other of course.) I just have to wait and see where and what I get assigned.

 

[Plexus]

Jeeze... how is it my fault that my ISP didn't give me an email address? Lame.

 

[GenghisK]

There are some free emails that can be used. Especially some French emails, and still the admins think it's a paid email That's what I use.

Lord Paul, to get a vehicle or any ship I guess you have to join a faction and ask your boss for one. I'm freelance and can't find a way to make money either. Plus their getting started link doesn't work, nor the FAQ. And since I don't know which building is a bank, or a work company... :s

Thrawn, what's sabbacc? Plus if you happen to drop on Corellia, I'd gladly board as a stowaway

Sabbacc is a popular card game in the Star Wars Universe. I think it's similar to poker.

 

[GenghisK]

Ah it's Pazaak eh? The thing in SW KOTOR?

 

[Moff Jerjerrod]

I just signed up. I'm a freelance player.

Does anyone here know how to move your character across the city? Everytime I enter a coordinate and press go I get either a "you can't go there message" or some sort of fatal error message.

 

[Thrawn]

You don't know what sabbacc is? YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT SABBACC IS???

Its how Han won the Millenium Falcon from Lando.

See here for rules.

You can also play on that same site. I don't know what Pazaak is, so I can't compare.

edit: Checked on gamefaqs, and they seem rather different from what I read. Pazaaks more like blackjack, sabbacc's more like poker.

If you want some money, look at getting a job via the classifieds - its probably about the only way to earn any money at the start. With my job at Blue Sabre Transportation, I'm getting paid 30k credits per month. From what I can tell, it'll go to 50k after I finish my trial peroid or something. They also assign me a ship once I get to their headquarters.

When I moved a bit, I just clicked on the location I wanted to go to, clicked go, and away I went.
