SWTOR: I Can’t Shake Him!
December 6, 2013Galactic Starfighter went live on Star Wars: The Old Republic this week, and it has been…quite interesting. I was invited into the beta but didn’t really get the chance to check it out, so for all intents and purposes this was really my first exposure.
I got to play a little bit of the content Tuesday, but it wasn’t until last night that I finally started to get a handle on the controls. Let’s face it; I just don’t have the piloting instincts of a Skywalker. I spent most of the first night flying around like a drunk chicken with a broken wing, though I have no one to blame but myself for skipping the tutorial (because instruction manuals are for chumps!) and as a result did most of my learning through trial and error.
Needless to say, starfighter battles are a lot more fun when you know what you’re doing. That’s why I haven’t written off the expansion yet, because without a doubt, things improve as you gain more experience and a handle on flying these damn things. Last night for our guild’s SWTOR Thursday session we went into battles as a team, and I have to say the increased interaction and strategic planning that comes with playing in a group greatly improves the experience.

Which one are you on the leader board?
I can’t see well enough to tell, it’s not actually my screenshot, I took this pic from Maric because I forgot to snap one of our win 😛
This looks awesome…
It’s a lot of fun once you get the hang of it 😀
my one SWOTR playing friend confirmed this…will have to wait until I get back to GB so I can get a gaming PC set up!
Haven’t touched Swtor in years. Wasn’t even aware of this new mode. Looks fun enough to test out though.
Yeah, it’s the new starfighter content in their expansion. Pretty much just pvp battlegrounds in space!
