May the 4th be With You!<\/p>\n
An Empire in Flames is set a post-Endor timeline offering a new and unique Star Wars Galaxies experience! With under 2 weeks to go until Launch Day, we wanted to give you some highlights of what to expect from Empire in Flames.<\/span><\/p>\n The developers created their vision of an environment friendly to Roleplayers, PvE players, and PvPers. With the hope to one day include the Pilot community. EiF will include:<\/span><\/p>\n The designers dreamed of a real Galactic Civil War, one which wasn\u2019t exclusively in the imaginations of the players.<\/span><\/p>\n A New Profession System<\/b><\/p>\n Empire in Flames offers a new approach to the \u00a0professions system – one combining the best from NGE and pre-CU.<\/span><\/p>\n Professions cost no skill points (though they require XP to level). However, a player can only have ONE profession at a time. Professions include:<\/span><\/p>\n Abilities acquired from professions can be used with any weapon, or even unarmed. Professions offer enhancement, access to specialized skills like slicing, vendors, creature harvesting, and more.<\/span><\/p>\n Skills, on the other hand, require skillpoints and can be freely mix-and-matched. They do require XP to level; however all skills can be learned from their novice box up. Prerequisites are not required.<\/span><\/p>\n Skillpoints have been adjusted to allow a player to pickup approximately 2 1\/2 trees, with some exceptions. (Image Designer, Dancer, and Musician together reach 250 points, for example.)<\/span><\/p>\n A New Approach to Housing<\/b><\/p>\n Empire in Flames offers additional housing options not available on other SWGEmu servers. Player cities take a central role; player houses are required to be built inside city limits. No more crust of housing on the edge of the no-build zone around NPC starports. No more endless sea of houses on Tatooine. Instead, players\u00a0have more reason than ever to cooperate – “home” is now a community. New Races<\/b><\/p>\n New races started with the developers of Empire in Flames; some of which have been shared with other servers. However the team has some saved exclusively for EiF and the server launch! <\/span><\/p>\n Crafting Revamp<\/b><\/p>\n One of the most controversial changes we’re adopting is a crafting revamp for weaponsmith and armorsmith. Instead of the old crafting system, we’re moving to a “core”-based system. The base of every weapon is a core, whether it’s a pistol, carbine, rifle, or melee weapon. The core determines critical stats like HAM cost, damage, and speed. Additions like stocks, scopes, and customized barrels are done at the weapon-level to modify those core stats. In essence, any weapon or armor can be made good. Empire in Flames is more than powerhammers and T-21s and composite armor.<\/span><\/p>\n A New Setting – with a look to the future<\/b><\/p>\n The decision to move post-Endor is partly driven by roleplay, but also by a desire to implement a proper Galactic Civil War. While the immediate ramifications of the time shift are largely cosmetic, it means new themeparks are coming – after all, Jabba the Hutt, Darth Vader, the Emperor, and Xizor are all dead.<\/p>\n How will you position yourself to rise to power?<\/p>\n A Roadmap Forward<\/b><\/p>\n Post-launch, the next three major patches are planned: Galactic Civil War, Schisms of the Force, and Underworld. The first brings a proper Galactic Civil War to the galaxy; the second the implements the Jedi profession; the third reveals black markets, smuggled goods, player bounty hunting, and Crime Lords.<\/span><\/p>\n Along the way, other content is planned – new themeparks for the New Republic and the Empire, a three-faction questline over the fate of Jabba’s criminal empire, and a series of post-Endor based heroic encounters.<\/span><\/p>\n Join Us!<\/strong><\/p>\n An Empire in Flames<\/span><\/a> launches in less than two weeks!. Plan to be there! A launch party will be held along with other fun activities. Like\u2026 SWG is back, only better!<\/span><\/p>\n May the 4th be with you!
