- The PTS has been updated to add guild flagships and planetary conquests. Jack Woods and Eric Musco appeared on a livestream to talk through how it all works.
- Dulfy has compiled a guide with deck plans for both the Imperial and Republic flagships, and how much each room costs to unlock.

Congratulations to Gabbeey, who won Dracko’s lottery. His initiative raised 7.9 million credits towards our guild flagship. Thanks to all who participated!
This post on the SWTOR subreddit about Madmar’s @swtorfamily is worthy of an upvote.

Teo identifies them (from left to right) as Nikto, Klatooinian, Snivvian, Aqualish and Ishi Tib.
6. Sarlacc Digest
With Game Update 2.9 nearly here, it’s definitely time to be preparing to capitalise on the huge additions to crafting that it brings. Returning guest Bill Lentz, whose financial genius would put the most successful Hutt to shame, is back to let us know all about it. He also has some thoughts on the value (or lack thereof) of legacy storage.

At 35:21, actually certain enemies such as world bosses or commanders can get a shield buff which makes them immune to any damage unless debuffed by orbital strike or other guildship-specific debuff. This effectively makes it impossible to defeat this enemy without parking your guildship in orbit at that time. So in a sense you do have to travel there to complete certain objectives, just to clarify.
Apologies, you clarify this at 45:10, regarding removing the shield from commanders with the orbital strike. Great information!!!
In a maxed guild if everyone gives 100k credits boom there’s your 50 million. Just a couple of weeklies for each guildie and it’s done. Smaller guilds can adjust accordingly but it really isn’t hard to make 100k in this game. Hope this helps.
700k in casino REALLY wanting the magnus & boom – what did I win? what did I win? oh, the rancor 🙁 I wanted to sell it but I couldn’t. Now that I have it though, I have to agree with Teo, it is quite cool.
P.S. Sorry Chill. My fingers are crossed for you. 🙂
i created a google spreadsheet with the rough estimations of Money-Maker Bill’s suggestions (averaged) and these prices are selling on the jedi covenant server. Hope this helps.

I heard that Sith Lord Korv and a few others have started their own podcast called Star Wars Beyond, but I had trouble finding it on Google. Have you guys heard anything about this? I love Fred and his voices, so if you could toss us a link that would be great.
We talked about their new show in this week’s episode, and I’ve included links in the show notes. You can find the RSS and iTunes links on their main site:

Ha, that’s embarrassing! I really need to get back to trying the obvious before expecting Google to spit out what I need.
I listened to Episode 0 and 1 and they were great. Liked your cameo appearance. 🙂 I’m really thankful there are so many SWTOR podcasts out there, they are all so different and each has something to offer that is unique.
