  • Space was the only real reason why I played swg anymore, TOR can't even compare to it with their rail/arcade system. The only other game I can think that had GOOD free roam flying and loot was space cowboy now known as ACE online. The 2nd being EvE online, but it's p2p and ACE is f2p. I was running on free months since i was a vet, every other month i got free time I haven't p2p SWG in 2 years, wasn't worth it to me especially with the TCG. That's why I refuse to sign the petition, TCG is crap.

  • Can't believe that Sony is dumping this game! :(

  • @cybersleuth58 It is going to get butt fucked by the old republic lol Bioware just owns in every degree

  • @MrKabutoYakushi Yes I really want to play an MMO where I have to listen to 50+ conversations everytime I do a quest. It will be so much fun doing yet another quest grind in another MMO. You know what they said about end content? Make a new character, how the fuck is that acceptable?

  • does someone know how to get more ships beside crafting one?

  • I love the star wars republic commando background music at the start.

  • I love the star wars republic commando background music.

  • Do you know how to get a ship you can walk around in?

    

  • @josua774 Buy one off the bazaar, need to be a master pilot though :)

  • @josua774 you mean a cruiser? one of those ships you don,t even need to control yourself?

  • You ever flown into that vortex black hole thingie? maybe it puts you in a different time and place. 0_o

  • @Harborx can't get close lol but it would have been fun to try

  • Can you see the interior of this ship?

  • @revan210 No you can't walk around in it but you can look around the cockpit.

  • @brageyboy Ah damn :/

  • @revan210 Yeah it sucks, there is other ones though. Personally love the AEG-77 to death. :)

  • can anyone help me i have problems flying my ships if i use the mouse i look around my ship can anyone tell me how i can solve this

  • @commandermike117 Sounds like you have a joystick or controller plugged in to your PC, unplug it and try launching into space again. If it's the mouse cursor moving around press alt to make it stick.

  • I prefer the dunelizard as smug allience

  • They took my master doctor away.

    Piece of shit game they turned this in to.

  • @NorwegicusOnAstick they took my jedi/bh away

    agreed

  • @Wolfmon12 Dont see why they did that.

    You had several classes to play where you didn't have to kill a single thing to master your profession, or you could go all out warfare, or a hybrid.

    Good memories though.

  • I remember flying in space was hard as hell cause lag

  • the firespray class here seems out dated and lightly armed and really slow?? i love that ship. this makes me sad

  • @thejessman002 Yeah I didn't have RE parts in this one so I just flew it for fun. It can be a great ship but I just hated the fact that it wasn't a POB.

  • @brageyboy i dont have swg.. so can you upgrade your ship ?? this game looks so facinating to me, its like you can do ANYTHING in starwars

  • @thejessman002 You can yes, basically you buy the chassi or the appearance of a ship and fill it with parts with various stats. The Firespray can be very nasty, the chassi has a high mass so it's ideal for missiles and heavy weapons.

    Well you can't do everything but you can do a lot :) it's quite fun, SWG is very customizable with gear and appearances.

  • @brageyboy no wonder my friend killed me instantly in space pvp.... i want this ship sooooo bad but i can only fly tier 1 ships, almost tier 2

  • This game is the best star wars game and the best MMORPG for me I mean you can have houses starships and decorate em?! EPIC game wish I had money to pay subscription

  • hey sience you dont fly it much anymore ummm can i have it my names jak'ar lufera of the ahazi galixie im a BH and i would love to have your ship

  • @BountyManSam well I'm on Chimaera, the ship isn't worth that much just for you to fetch on Chimaera and then take back to Ahazi. Besides I traded it a while ago now to a guildie of mine.

  • I't rather play wow :D

  • @FearDotKill boringggg

  • space is probably the best part of galaxies to me

  • How are the controls done in SWG? Is it like WASD for forward/back and left/right and the mouse for up/down, roll and fire?

  • @spiritofthewolf15x There is the joystick you can use, as for the keyboard, W = Speed Up S = Speed Down A = Turn Left D= Turn Right. Q and E does a roll left or right.

    My suggestion if you use a keyboard, is to use the mouse to turn, W and S for speed control and use Q E to roll. You don't turn very fast so the best way to turn is to roll to the side and pull the mouse either back or fourth (depending on what way you want to turn). It's the fastest way, A and D are useless to be honest.

  • @brageyboy

    So my flight sim joystick would work just fine?

  • @spiritofthewolf15x Probably, can't say for sure if it will or not but never heard of anyone having major issues with their joystick in space.

  • @brageyboy

    I'm really wanting to go out and buy this game now.

  • @spiritofthewolf15x Hehe I'm sure there's something in SWG you'll enjoy doing. :)

  • @spiritofthewolf15x Ground controls are basically the same as any other MMO, only you need to release or lock your cursor quite a lot with alt which most MMO games don't have I find.

  • u r a boutey hunter

  • this game was great till it turned into a star wars everquest...DAMN YOU SONY!!!!

  • hey i have bin playing SWG for a bit and for the whole ship control thing i can go sideways and increase speed with the wasd keys but i cant go up and down can you help me out?

  • @mouse746 Gotta use the mouse to turn really while you increase and decrease speed. I use E and Q to do rolls, W and S to control speed and just the mouse for the rest.

  • @brageyboy thanks but when i hit the alt button it just looks around the cockpit it doesnt turn my ship or anything

  • @mouse746 Yeah it releases the cursor for movement, press it again to make the mouse turn the vehicle again. The alt button is used for like, if you want to navigate in your inventory to delete to use something.

  • Was this Imperial, Rebel , or Neutral/? I was imperial Ace pilot

  • @Crystalballer274 neutral imperial aligned, prefer being neutral they seem to have the best balance in ships.

  • @brageyboy not only that if you are neutral you can flip factions without having to worry about losing your Ace pilot status. Which is a plus ^^

  • @Crystalballer274 aye too true! It's a damn shame you have to regrind piloting when you switch from rebel or imperial ace, they should have just had it so if you switch faction the ships you can use switch too. I guess the double xp thing makes it easier in the end but still. Most stuff just seem to be one grind after the other in SWG.

  • @brageyboy that is in any mmo, hence the time sink/subscriptions. Unless you stand around in ironforge like a faggot pissing away money. (if you play wow)

  • @mairekdotcom Too true, I guess the problem is that the grind is boring! :P

  • Nice I shoulda gotten one of those things while I was still playing. lol Had a YE-4 GUnship and decimator. One of these bad boys would have been a nice addition.

  • what are the contorls to pitch down?

  • @kittylactose Use the mouse and push forward, use Q E W and S. Along with the mouse and you should have an easy time flying. Q and E rolls to the sides.

  • ive got trial but when i get a full online membership in 2 weeks we could meet and u could show me where to buy this ship

  • have u still got the halifax?

  • @secretjedi01 Nope, had it on another character and I ended up selling it to a guildie who really wanted one.

  • how did u get it?

  • @secretjedi01 bought it from the bazaar, it's rare though. Not very rare but like 10mil I think. Basically when they craft ships they can get like pieces of a schematic which when they put together they can craft one of these.

  • star wars the old republic will kill star wars galaxies......

  • @MAKSAjedi In your dreams maybe, SWTOR is just another gimmick game with loads of shiney things dumbed down for it's audience.

  • @brageyboy ...Don't even argue, sir. Star Wars Galaxies is pretty much already dead, SWTOR is going to out-do SWG by a long shot, whether you like it or not.

  • @Arodoraa Not really but that's your opinion I guess, doesn't look dead to me when I login. Plus games have survived on less subs than SWG, not to mention SWTOR and SWG will be two different games. Didn't like NGE? Well SWTOR is basically NGE, the Star Wars experience wrapped up. Pretty colours and everything is Star Warsy lol, I seriously doubt SWTOR will have housing etc but I guess we'll see.

  • man dogfighting in this game is awesome!!!

  • KSE: 8 or 10 million credits

  • i got a firespray named it slave 5 i was allies with boba fett

  • I'm thinking of getting star wars galaxies. Can you actually fly the ships? sorry but i'm very very new to this.

  • You can yes :) it can be quite fun!

  • I agree, space is the reason why I started playing 5 years ago and what I spent 80% of my time in SWG on!

  • @brageyboy can you go into hyper drive and fly from planet to planet in star wars galaxies i am new to this to

  • is the firespray a cheap fighter? or is it expensive?

  • Not very expensive but it costs more than most ships.

  • depends on sever

  • The Firespray is roughly between 8-15 million credits for the chassis depending on the quality of the chassis and what server you play on. I know that probably means nothing to you since you don't play it, but most other chassis (ship frames, aka ships) cost between 80k credits to as much as 1 million credits, for chassis crafted with high mass. So 1 million would be the highest you see a ship, and the KSE firespray goes for at least 8 million, that should give you an idea.

  • hey whats the name of the sound file in the video?

  • In the beginning you have Vode An the rest I don't know, it's random Star Wars music that SWG has.

  • i hope the sound is'nt like this the sound quality sucks

  • are you using a droid in the video to increase the energy to shoot?

  • is star wars galaxies fun?

  • Yes and no, still a lot of frustrations with the game but you can have a lot of fun if you're in a good guild. :) The community you're in makes a huge difference really and once you get some rares collected you're pretty much hooked!

  • is your enemy tier 4 or 5?

  • What kind of other ships can you get? how does the flying work and stuff?

  • Well you launch from ground and into space, it's like two seperate games. I heard that game X-Wing or whatever is quite like it.

    As for what ships? Too many to list here, there's quite a few. They split into four categories basically, neutral, imperial, rebel and exotic. Exotic ships is like the Firespray in this video. Any of the three factions, neutral, imperial or rebel can fly exotic ships.

  • I always wanted to try this game but my friend always used to talk me out of it, said it was a shitty game lol sounds pretty cool actually.

  • @crazyman2171 Its very fun, last I played...I kinda stopped playing for a bit but I'm rejoining around Christmas... Has a really cool community like bragey said, it depends on who you role with. I chill on Starsider with the roleplayers and spacers :). If you haven't alrdy, you can always get a trial and give it a go!

  • It was fun. Not anymore.

  • yes

  • how do you look arown with mouse all myn does look with my head

  • You gotta love people like Pokemonowner1 because it's just funny when they make an ass out of themselves.

  • Lol, yeah...It is funny...If you look back to to Pug247...like 110 comments ago...I made a real ass outta him...It was fun

  • Boba Fett's ship is named Slave 1, the model is named KSE Firespray.

  • no its not you dumb ass, Fett's ship is slave 1. The model of that ship is a KSE Firespray

  • Something that always bothered me, pissed me off was the fact that the KSE Firespray wasn't a free-roaming ship (Leave ship station)! It should have been, as in the books , in EU, it clearly has plenty of room, it has multiple floors. It was such a disappointment for me!

  • Aye same here, I also loathe some of the layouts of the YT's and POB ships in SWG. They look terrible and nothing like in the movies or other games.

  • Aye know it all too well, you used to be able to make some easy credits but since TCG it's been increasingly difficult unless you spend loads of RL cash on booster packs.

  • lol on Chim myself, plus I sold it ages ago. It isn't too hard to get though, starsider has the largest pilot community :)

  • wait can you make your own star ship other than that 5/5

  • Yeah, can't customize it much though. It's only different colour patterns and colours, there is different engines, boosters, weapons bolts and cannons though depending on the parts you use for your ship. You could have purple bolts if you wanted for example or there is a few rare ones that look quite odd. Can also outfit it with missiles and stuff like that, though you'd need a heavy ship like the Firespray to be able to stick it into the ship.

  • What music is that from at the intro?

  • Republic Commando - Vode An :)

  • let me gess 90 bounty hunter

  • This character? Was an Officer at the time, Commando now but I don't play her anymore. :)

  • A V-Wing would have all of those ships beaten before the 0:30 mark :3.

    Thats the thing about the firespray, Bad Handling no matter what type of engine you got.

  • Sadly, it's a royal bucket but I guess now with the V-Wing being the most expensive ship. It's just a silver bucket :(

  • The KSE if handled right can turn on a dime it's all about angles and throttle control.

  • man this game brings lots of good memorys back it took me FOREVER to become a good pilot in this game

  • personally I like battlefront 2 better than galaxies

  • But the Space sim part of SWG Far Beats BF2.

    Especially POB ships.

  • i just recently got back into it and the servers are populated, everyone is back!

  • How did Sony lose the rights to add more content to SWG?

  • what do you have to upgrade on the ship so that you can shoot longer?

  • the capacitator, it's the energy of the blaster. What you can do is a capacitator overload while in space through your droid commands, upgrade the cap or take a laser that takes less energy per shot.

  • what server u play? MANDALORE MUSIC1

  • I play on Euro-Chimaera :)

  • Euro-Chimaera, well I do have a AEG-77 Gunship and a YT-2400. ;)

  • Was quite a long time ago, I think it's a crafted engine rather than a looted one. At the time we didn't have the collection stuff either. It worked for PvE but not much else, sold it or rather traded it by now. :P I fly my V-Wing instead which is a brill ship!

  • Can u help please brageyboy i try piloting but the thing i shoot with sticks in the middle and cant move it so imm unable to kill anything what do i do to move it?

  • Sticks in the middle? Using a joystick?

  • is the game big

  • If there's a lot to do? Aye quite a bit, depends what you like really.

  • uh, isn't that the slave II that boba fett flies?

  • Yeah though it's Slave I, fun ship to fly but damn she's a rear heavy ship!

  • Yeah it's Slave 1. But the model of the ship is called KSE Firespray. Just like how the Millenium Falcon is a YT model ship.

    Plus Slave II looks different than this.

  • Where do you get this ship

  • Can buy it off a player shipwright, normally costs like 10mil. Look it up on the bazaar :)

  • Thanks good sir /hatraise

  • Looks like X-wing from the 90's with new graphics

  • would you recommend this ship in swg? and does it perform better than bombers?

  • Depends what you want to do, the Firespray is quite bulky. For those that enjoy heavy ship, it's a fun ship to fly but it takes a lot of practice to learn to fly it. You're basically a very big target, I only really PvE'd with mine.

  • ill probably never pvp in space, because most of the time the ships are most likely going to be the a-wing, i forgot the name but its the one that anakin used in the beggining of episode 3, and other small ass targets lol, i cant get enough money in swg for re'd parts, so does it move like the y-wing, or tie bomber? or a bit more manueverable?

  • i like the music in the beginning. i went to ord mantell deep space in my m3-a scyk (that's the ship u start out with on tansarii station) and i got owned by some tier 7 hutt transport. he killed me in two hits rofl.

  • hehe aye Ord Mantell is very dangerous :P even as an Ace Pilot you gotta watch your back!

  • I'm installing this trial game now, but I am going to buy the game but people say this game is died. I don't really see how this can be it's just like wow but star wars and more intense action, does anybody know if there are people playing this game still?

  • Yeah there are, quite a lot actually. People are just spewing bullshit since they hate SOE. The game is very alive and alot better than most think. There are dead servers however since the free server transfers, just be sure to pick the heavy/medium ones when you logon.

  • Is this game worth to get?

    If it is how much is it per month and how many people still play it?

  • It's like 14$ per month I think, might be less now. There is quite a few still, though you have to pick the heavy servers. Starsider is the biggest server but it also crashes a lot due to it. Then you have Euro-Chimaera and Bria. There is a few others but I don't know which to recommend for you. Just make sure you pick the right servers as they had a free server transfer a while ago which removed population from a lot of the smaller servers.

  • K, I'll think about getting it.

  • where'd you get her?

    i'm new so my only ship is a tie fighter lol :D

  • Ahh an Imperial Pilot! Well I got her from a player :) bought it off the bazaar. You should be able to fly one once you master piloting :)

  • im so confused about the game and how to play it lol :(

  • Aww well there is alot of people willing to help you out you could go to the official SWG forums, just do a search for SWG discussion on google and look for the tansarii station forum :) there is also people who will help you on your server. Look for a Helper title above their head :)

  • Bragey,boy Im going to Install the trial Version next weekend, then I'll see what I think of it =D.

  • hehe good luck and I hope you'll enjoy it! :)

  • Eh,

    10 gigs

    56 kbps

    2 days of non stop downloading.....

  • Patching? It's a bloody bother for sure, download station launcher and just let it run. Still going to take a while sadly.

  • I just completed it actually.

  • nice! going to play today then eh? :)

  • Yea,

    Im a bounty Hunter on starstrider.

    I don't really get it though.

    So do you mind helping me?

  • Well it would be hard for me to help you from my server but I can answer any questions you got. What problems have you encountered?

  • Nothing really.

  • dude your gonna be lagging so bad lol

  • I haven't lagged yet.

  • haha thanks pal, :) by the way what class are you? bounty hunter?

    and what faction are you in? imperial, rebel or smugglers alliance

  • No worries, well I'm currently an Imperial Bounty Hunter, I was Rebel for a long time. Just temporarily switching inbetween to get some stuff I want right now. And my pilot faction is RSF so I'm Neutral/Imperial in space. :)

    What did you go for?

  • hehe lol same, imperial bounty hunter :D

    level ftw!

  • erh sorry space stations :) but yeah here is some more info.

    * Imperial pilots contact the Imperial Claw Station, Endor System (Nearest Hyperspace Point: Durillium Sea)

    * Freelance pilots travel to the Last Nav Station, in the Dathomir System (Nearest Hyperspace Point: Dathomir's Vitality)

    * Rebel pilots contact the Deep Space Station, Dantooine System (Nearest Hyperspace Point: Dantooine's Wrath)

  • how do u get the bounty hunter shiP?

  • the KSE Firespray? You can get it by buying it from a player Shipwright Crafter. They normally cost like around 10mil. Varies inbetween depending on the server and seller.

  • Kessel, you can access it through one of the Deep Space Spaceports.

  • I like the beginning music. :-)

  • i have a question in game i can not see my cockpit its like its infront of the cockpit and i cant figure out how to fix it can anyone help me just message me on my account

  • It should be somewhere in options, not sure exactly where but keep flipping through it until you get something called Cockpit view or similar.

  • its in terface and something with enable cockpit view for single ships

  • quick question, since i am starting galaxies, i wonder, about the capital ships, will there ever be a pilotable one, commandeerable one should i say. either way, imagine an imperial veteran pilot controlling one of those, god knows what how many noob jedi players would get MASS slaughtered. hehehehehe

    they are starting a capital ship project u know.

  • Don't think there ever will be one sadly, maybe sometime in the future but I wouldn't keep my hopes up. They have added gunboats to the game which are massive, anyway there is a Star Destroyer you can board in SWG. It's an instance, an heroic instance. Pretty fun and quite amazing to explore.

  • Nice ship name :) The Halifax lol! Canada Rules!:P

  • Its like starlancer and old but great game for pc!!! ^^

  • i was told that the kse was a piece of shit and hard to handle. is that true? because looking at the vid it looks exactly like the tie bomber, which is what i used for 30% of my missions in space. but still i WILL own one for the simple fact of me being able to say "i've flown the firespray" i would like to fly every ship in the game at least once

  • Yeah it is a real royal bucket to fly, wouldn't surprise me if it handles like a TIE Bomber. It needs very high PYR on the engine to handle well. I had like 75 PYR on the engine I use in this video. It is one of those ships you just gotta try for yourself hehe :)

  • A few other items to know about the KSE, it weighs less than 300,000 mass so ur parts for it have to be light and powerful. You cant fly a KSE until u are lvl 10 ace in any faction.

    The engine is the most important piece, if you have a joystick for the game, you would want ur engine stats to have YPR's of 75 or better. The reason for the high Ypr's is the whole ship will feel like a ROCK without these stats.

    I used to be a master Shipwright for 3 yrs.

  • im guessing its hard to fly, i tried. plus how do u see ur whole sahip. i dont like first person flying. thnks

  • Aye it's very heavy in the back, well if you have a scroll on your mouse you can zoom out and in with that one. Not sure what you have to do if you don't have it, you will probably need to look in your keymap options and reassign some action to another key.

  • i found out after i went on after posting the comment. plus i do hav a scroll. =:)

  • hehe good :)

  • u can use the - and + keys on your numberpad if u dont have a mouse wheel

  • wtf is up with youtube never letting me reply to things...

  • how do u get ships

  • You buy them from shipwrights or get the free version from a pilot recruiter. Just ask around IG or get that IG mail you get from all the pilot factions.
