Introducing: EiF’s Galactic Homeshow!

Today, we announce the debut of EiF’s Galactic Homeshow! Thank you to Jeil for coordinating and facilitating the event! Read on to learn more:


We have recently marked EIF’s 6th year and soon SWG’s 20th. No doubt the lasting nature of the game comes down to the community and as such we now look to celebrate some of the player’s finest creations with the Galactic Home Show. Each month submissions will open for a period of 2 weeks and close for internal voting. We may draw additional community members in at random to add in their votes.

For our first event, June 2023, submission deadline will be June 16th. 

The person selected will receive a Friday Feature detailing their creation with a short interview and their in-game character will receive the Galactic Home Show winner badge. 

You can submit your builds to events@empireinflames.com

Title your email in the following format:

Home Show Submission – Month Year – In-game Name

  • Example: Home Show Submission – June 2023 – Jeil Tain

Body of the e-mail should contain a waypoint with coordinate and planet information. Attach up to 10 screenshots. 

 

Rules

  1. One building per account, per submission period. 
  2. Must be PG-13 per our ToS.
  3. Limited to 10 screenshots per submission, prefer jpeg to reduce file sizes.
  4. Buildings must be set to public access.
  5. The building must be of your own design and doing. (No commissions, unless you were the builder of said project.)

We look forward to seeing what you create!

Smuggler 101

Today’s Friday Feature showcases a write-up by community member Gin’bilu’alelu about the Smuggler Profession. Learn tips, tricks, and more! Thank you, Bill!


 

Quick with a joke, but quicker with a blaster.

Taking the jobs and the risks that the others won’t.

Star Wars-y and iconic.

Smugglers are as integral to the Star Wars galaxy as the Jedi Knights and X-Wing pilots are.  After all, it was not Ben Kenobi that made the Kessel Run in twelve parsecs, nor was it Princess Leia that conned her way into ownership of Cloud City.  But take heed as you begin your journey into scum and villainy, newcomer; even the best Smugglers get boarded sometimes.  And when that day comes, you had best be ready.

EiF Patch Notes 01/03/2023

Happy New Year! Here are the notes for the patch released on 01/03/2023, featuring the celebrations of Boonta Eve:

Content

  • Boonta Eve has come to Mos Espa!
    • Journey to Tatooine and speak to Mayor Mok Shaiz to begin your Boonta adventures.
    • Perform one task a day to earn Boonta coins:
      • Race a skyhopper through Beggar’s Canyon in a time trial.
      • Fight Valarian Raiders intent on disrupting the holiday.
      • Escort slaves in to pledge their allegiance…or scout around for someone willing to help them escape
    • New loot has been added to the Boonta vendor and older items have been cycled out
  • The Mos Espa cantina is now under new management and has a new look (credit to Mina for the new deco!)
  • Added camo kits for Hoth, Taanab, and Kuat to Master Ranger.
  • Flamethrower and electrical gauntlets are now available for commandos and bounty hunters. These weapons will allow a player to equip a gauntlet in place of an armor bracer. When a flamethrower or LLC attack is called, it will first try to use the player’s held weapon. If the held weapon cannot execute the attack, it will instead use the gauntlet weapon for the attack.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed holstering issue.
  • Fixed performance issue with isRotaryCannon check.
