    Will we get a version of the Falcon from Episodes IV-VI with Han and Chewie as the pilots? @EA_Jesse

  • Really why Rey and Finn for the Millennium Falcon when we have all been grinding for Han Solo and those of us that still use Chewbacca even though Royal Guard and many other tanks make more sense.

  • Do the mods carried by the character in a ship impact the ships performance or just the gear/star level @EA_Jesse.

    Thanks.

    A characters gear/star level will have an impact on how powerful the ship is in battle. The more powerful your crew, the more powerful your ship.

    Hi Jesse:

    Thanks for the sweet update! Really excited for ships; it looks like refreshing new content for the game and well tied into the SW universe.

    Question regarding how to level up the ships. You mentioned that gear/star level will impact a ship's power level. What about mods?

    Also, do ships have explicit synergies (rebels, scoundrels, empire, etc.), like characters in ground combat also have synergies?

    Let us know what you can. Thanks!
  • I'm surprised that thing still flies after all those years on that sand planet, is it really going to be more then just a bucket of bolts or even battle worthy without it's original crew?
  • What currency will ships use ? Apologies if I missed it in the original post.

    Looks like a lot of interesting new content, but can we please consider pushing the release to a Monday so there are people in the office to monitor the release instead of launching right before a holiday weekend? And do the same for all future releases, rather than the regular Friday releases?

    We'll be happy to wait, I promise. :3

    Wendsday is right before a weekend? You must have an amazing job xD

    She said holiday weekend... Thursday is thanksgiving... So offices will be closed until monday

    Yeah but for the rest of the world there is no thanksgiving ;) or do you belive thers only life in the Us?
  • @EA_Jesse

    Is Ships going to be single player thing or will it involves guild stuff also?

    Also it's "Clone Wars" Chewbacca. Probably not a member of the Millenium Falcon crew yet at that point.

    Where did you get that crazy awesome logo we haven't ever seen that is super suspicious?? Man big recruitment problems.

    Thanks for ships looks awesome EA and CG. Love me my geonosian sun fac piloting his maxed ship. Rex is happy too.

  • Was just wondering if there will be any specials on crystals in the near future with all of this new content.

    For those asking, mods on a character will affect the power of a ship. If you progress the power of your character it will affect the power of the ship as well, so you'll want your characters to be as powerful as they can be!

    As for all the other details, don't worry, we'll be posting some VERY long update notes next week to coincide with the Ships release that will explain a lot more than I can in these short answers :)

  • I was kinda hoping to see Kylo or Luke get their own ships (or you know maybe Anakin, the best pilot in the galaxy), but GS, SF, and Geo Spy get their own...are they using their wings to fly or what?

    Did you actually read the entire update? Almost every character will be crew or pilot of an assigned ship

    I do believe we only get shards for the 5 pilots and 3 fleet commanders in the tutorial. Sun Fac and Rex aren't included, so they're still p2p
  • Umbaran Starfighter and Fives... **** he used this ship by accident in one (ONE!) Clone Wars episode!
    Same with Mace Windu - young (!) Boba Fett destroyed (!!) Endurance in two episodes if I remember correctly, and now Mace Windu is a fleet commander? Of what, a ship that can be destroyed by a kid? Ridiculous.

    And all these Geonosians there... Sun Fac, GSoldier and GSpy, everyone with his own ship? Why, what for? Why do you love Geonosians that much there, I don't get it... Sun Fac got killed in "Republic Commando" game just after reaching his ship, so he was a pilot for a few seconds, just saying...

    Seriously, any fan would do better with commanders and pilots... I'm sad, really sad now.
  • /spoiler Actually if u remember fives,jesse and hardcase mastered it in a few and destroyed the separatist support ship with hardcase sacrifice

    Restored balance in the force needs to be.
    Only 7 pilots and 1 admiral dark side has.
    12 pilots and 2 admirals light side boasts.
    Just as always this is.
  • @EA_Jesse any chance that more fleet admirals will be added?grievous perhaps?
