another wonderful issue Ali :)

Damn, now I gotta scour for new names...

Thanks Ali! Looks like an amazing issue. It's great to see TOR and GW2 content. Thanks to all our writers!!

I remember in one of the interviews from the game they said that this ship when it came out was going to have some massive cannons. She goes look beautiful, would be nice to see an Andorian themed uniform come with it.

I love the hull material. It's a bit Reman without the neon green, with some Jem'Hadar and Fed veteran thrown in. I hope there will be a set that can be slotted onto other ships to get the same effect.

Oh yeah... I'm gettin' this bitch :laugh:

EEEEEEE! ME TOO!

I really like it! The ship reflects the more aggressive nature of Andoria compared to the other founding species of the Federation (at least as depicted in Enterprise). It gives a bit more teeth to ships on the Fed side of things without causing Starfleet ships to veer too far from their aesthetics.

I WAAAAAANT ITTT!!!!!!!!!

Me likey! :woohoo:

Ooh!

Also, that is one damn sexxxy ship!

Now they just need to get the tellarite battle cruiser in game and the trifecta shall be completed!

YAY More Escorts!!

Damn... that's a pretty ship. Especially like the hull material.

More info about its specifications should be revealed next week.

Alrite im ready anytime someone else can help me. Im not sure how long the heroics take but i will be on this evening, and scattered parts on the weekend or we can schedule further down the line.

Here is some more info on the upcoming changes.

A few quotes:

The guild mission system allows people in a guild to work together to unlock guild upgrades that allow them to go on missions together. These missions can be kicked off by the specific guild that has researched that mission, but once they are activated, anyone can jump in and participate to help the guild finish the mission if they wish. The missions are designed such that some components of the mission can only be completed by the guild themselves, but each of them has aspects other players can assist with as well.

There are multiple categories of guild missions that a guild can kick of. To give an example, one category is the guild rush. When a guild creates a guild rush in the world at one of the rush locations, a timer begins and the rush has to be completed X number of times within the allotted time in order for the guild to succeed.

For personal motivation, anyone who completes the rush at least once will receive a personal reward regardless of if they are in the sponsoring guild or not. Also, anyone who was in the guild that kicked off the mission receives an extra different type of reward, which can be traded in for a new category of personal guild rewards that can only be earned through the guild mission system.

I actually started tearing up a bit.
This was good to watch.

LesleyA, I don't know how to answer your question. It all depends on how much you've upgraded your gear along the way. I haven't agreed with the majority (if not most) of the restrictions they've placed on F2P players as I believe it does absolutely nothing good for the game and just succeeds in pushing people away. And I agree with Lorenius completely in that SWTOR is indeed "a beautiful game that has been spectacularly mismanaged" from the beginning. I still subscribe because I can and wouldn't be able to function under all the restrictions. I don't know how much more they can drag the game down but according to the devs, F2P was a spectacular success for the company, if you can believe everything they write.... :(

I'm ready to have some PVP fun again. I dont see a schedule posted anywhere for today. Happy V day!

I wait I now see the note about after this weekend. :-)
