It's that time of... decade?... again! New CP ships, vehicles, and droids have been released. Go see your local Starport, Landing Pad, Garage, Hangar... etc. to get your new shiny toy. Special shout out on the ships for Combine players who helped design them. Some awesome ideas out there and we got to input our own creations unique to SWCombine! A lot of cool ones out there for you guys. Stats are similar or better than some old CP ships even!
You might notice CP Vehicles have an error right now. Should be fixed within the next hour or so.
Edit:
LINK TO SHIPS - Verpine and KR-4B had slight stat changes. Trooper transport renamed. Some room map changes.
LINK TO VEHICLES - Scanner icons fixed!
LINK TO DROID

After a brief absense, Lightsaber crafting has returned. A quest has been released to take you through the steps. Not force sensitive? This Quest won't respond to you but you can always 'collect' by other means. Force sensitive? Don't read that last bit. Get your new weapons! You'll need supplies, weapons, and guts to finish this one.
The Force Forum FAQ will be updated later this week. Expect answers to questions like "What about current shards?" and "How long should this take?"
Start location and exact details won't be released until a good chunk of people have gone through it. Additional changes will come in the future. We may contact you during this first few run throughs to make sure all is going smoothly. Any questions or hint requests can be sent via DM to Mikel
Edit: Small issue was solved for one member and others might find a similar bug. If the Ancient Hilt does not respond to you please DM Baugrems the ID of your ancient hilt item.
Edit 2.0: Thanks to the initial test subjects for doing some runs through the quest so far. Due to feedback and observation we've made a few changes that'll likely increase difficulty in some areas. Those who went through before and helped us see a live run won't have to redo anything.

Greetings, Combiners! A happy start to Q2 of the year and a happy Easter to those of you who celebrate it.
We the administration team wanted to reach out today to announce some exciting new features for the Combine, and somewhat of a change of direction in the development of the game to capture recent trends in online videogaming.
First, thanks to the hard work of Baugrems and Kay Dallben, we have released Season 1 of our new "loot crate" system. Many players have bemoaned the large number of credits in the game, as well as the difficulty of acquiring rare items that were given out over a decade ago to a select, lucky few players. This system is designed to tackle both of these issues at once, by providing the opportunity to acquire these rare or unique items for a small credit fee.
Located anywhere an NPC for the previous "Science Feud" event could be found (civic centers and starports) as well as many space stations, a new quest NPC now allows players to pay a small fee and be guaranteed to win from a selection of loot - from common items all the way up to rare Mandalorian armor! The intent is to provide players with a sense of pride and accomplishment for unlocking different items. As for cost: among other things, we’re looking at average per-player credit earn rates on a daily basis, and our team will continue to make changes and monitor community feedback and update everyone as soon and as often as we can. This feature is live today.
Second, and more expansive, is our intent to capture the mood of the current climate of popular online games. Star Wars Combine will soon become SWCombine: Royale, a battle royale-style simulation game that blends the best aspects of popular games such as PLAYERUNKNOWN'S BATTLEGROUNDS and Fortnite as well as the proven aspects of the Combine into a compelling, adventurous online battle royale game set in the Star Wars universe.
Aspects of the Combine, such as the time delays, lack of player-vs-player combat, and construction permissions will be blended with successful aspects of this genre of games, such as team battles, a robust loot system, and on-the-fly obstacle building to combine into a truly one-of-a-kind experience. We look forward to these changes being made within the next week.
As always, thank you for playing SWCombine!

It's that time of year again it would seem. The first year of temporary ASIM terms has gone by with decent success and the baton is being passed once more.
Here are the rules:
-
Newly hired asims are not required to irrevocably drop their character. Instead, their characters are suspended for the duration of being an asim.
-
Asims have no IC activity related to their character while working for the administration.
-
Asims will have a defined period of service of six months after which a new group of asims will be hired. There is no limit on the number of terms if reselected.
-
Applications will be in January and July, with asims working from February through the end of July and then August through January of next year.
-
Compensation in the form of Combine Points will be provided for asims who remain active and effective throughout their service period.
-
Asims are required to use IRC and must be active in staff channels as that is how the majority of decisions are made.
-
Asims duties center around helping players affected by bugs, handling support tickets, and dealing with rules violations. There will be opportunities for asims to assist in designing RP opportunities for SWC at large, along with participating in discussion on game features before they are announced or implemented.
Remember that current asims are allowed to re-apply and may be re-selected.
Applications should be submitted via Darkness Message to Selatos, Arjuna, and Erek. Please answer the following questions in your application.
SWC-specific questions:
-
What is your Combine handle?
-
How long have you played SWC?
-
What have you done IC so far (including previous characters)? What are you working on currently, and what is your position with your faction?
-
Why do you want to become an asim?
-
Are you involved in any other online games or RPGs of a similar nature? If so please describe your position and responsibilities
-
Please provide three references of SWC members who are not on the administration team that have been in the game for at least two years.
Real-life questions:
-
Where do you live?
-
How old are you?
-
What is your occupation?
-
How much time would you like to volunteer per week on improving SWC?
-
Have you performed administrative duties in the past or organized groups/events?
-
Is a hot dog a sandwich? Explain why or why not.
Applications will be open until January 24th with new asims starting their term on February 1st.
Edit: Applications are closed and the Asims are being selected by the mighty Selatos. Stay tuned.
Final Edit: Thank you to everyone that applied. At this time we decided not to add any new asims, but will revisist this in the future as workload and situations change. Also a big thanks to Klinger and Sid who will return to their mortal bodies soon.

Greetings, Combiners! A happy start to Q2 of the year and a happy Easter to those of you who celebrate it.
We the administration team wanted to reach out today to announce some exciting new features for the Combine, and somewhat of a change of direction in the development of the game to capture recent trends in online videogaming.
First, thanks to the hard work of Baugrems and Kay Dallben, we have released Season 1 of our new "loot crate" system. Many players have bemoaned the large number of credits in the game, as well as the difficulty of acquiring rare items that were given out over a decade ago to a select, lucky few players. This system is designed to tackle both of these issues at once, by providing the opportunity to acquire these rare or unique items for a small credit fee.
Located anywhere an NPC for the previous "Science Feud" event could be found (civic centers and starports) as well as many space stations, a new quest NPC now allows players to pay a small fee and be guaranteed to win from a selection of loot - from common items all the way up to rare Mandalorian armor! The intent is to provide players with a sense of pride and accomplishment for unlocking different items. As for cost: among other things, we’re looking at average per-player credit earn rates on a daily basis, and our team will continue to make changes and monitor community feedback and update everyone as soon and as often as we can. This feature is live today.
Second, and more expansive, is our intent to capture the mood of the current climate of popular online games. Star Wars Combine will soon become SWCombine: Royale, a battle royale-style simulation game that blends the best aspects of popular games such as PLAYERUNKNOWN'S BATTLEGROUNDS and Fortnite as well as the proven aspects of the Combine into a compelling, adventurous online battle royale game set in the Star Wars universe.
Aspects of the Combine, such as the time delays, lack of player-vs-player combat, and construction permissions will be blended with successful aspects of this genre of games, such as team battles, a robust loot system, and on-the-fly obstacle building to combine into a truly one-of-a-kind experience. We look forward to these changes being made within the next week.
As always, thank you for playing SWCombine!

It's that time of year again it would seem. The first year of temporary ASIM terms has gone by with decent success and the baton is being passed once more.
Here are the rules:
-
Newly hired asims are not required to irrevocably drop their character. Instead, their characters are suspended for the duration of being an asim.
-
Asims have no IC activity related to their character while working for the administration.
-
Asims will have a defined period of service of six months after which a new group of asims will be hired. There is no limit on the number of terms if reselected.
-
Applications will be in January and July, with asims working from February through the end of July and then August through January of next year.
-
Compensation in the form of Combine Points will be provided for asims who remain active and effective throughout their service period.
-
Asims are required to use IRC and must be active in staff channels as that is how the majority of decisions are made.
-
Asims duties center around helping players affected by bugs, handling support tickets, and dealing with rules violations. There will be opportunities for asims to assist in designing RP opportunities for SWC at large, along with participating in discussion on game features before they are announced or implemented.
Remember that current asims are allowed to re-apply and may be re-selected.
Applications should be submitted via Darkness Message to Selatos, Arjuna, and Erek. Please answer the following questions in your application.
SWC-specific questions:
-
What is your Combine handle?
-
How long have you played SWC?
-
What have you done IC so far (including previous characters)? What are you working on currently, and what is your position with your faction?
-
Why do you want to become an asim?
-
Are you involved in any other online games or RPGs of a similar nature? If so please describe your position and responsibilities
-
Please provide three references of SWC members who are not on the administration team that have been in the game for at least two years.
Real-life questions:
-
Where do you live?
-
How old are you?
-
What is your occupation?
-
How much time would you like to volunteer per week on improving SWC?
-
Have you performed administrative duties in the past or organized groups/events?
-
Is a hot dog a sandwich? Explain why or why not.
Applications will be open until January 24th with new asims starting their term on February 1st.
Edit: Applications are closed and the Asims are being selected by the mighty Selatos. Stay tuned.
Final Edit: Thank you to everyone that applied. At this time we decided not to add any new asims, but will revisist this in the future as workload and situations change. Also a big thanks to Klinger and Sid who will return to their mortal bodies soon.

Some of you may have noticed but most probably have not so here is the official word.
Focusing Crystals that some players have been collecting have been RENAMED to Kyber Shard. A new item named Kyber Crystal has been added to the rules page.
All temples, Jedi Praxeums, and the Sith Temple have been equipped with a Furnace item. This item does nothing for you yet but just in case you see it and wonder why it exists... Some Darkness planets have had new cities/temples added to them (or will soon).
The wait for Lightsabers gets smaller. I'm not announcing a release date right now besides soon, without a TM.

If you are wondering where your facility income is, the job did not run correctly this month and will need to be run manually by Selatos. Now would be a good time to ensure that your operator is active!

Corey can submit a support ticket when the ban is over.

All 3 accounts are a permanent ban due to multiple violations. Previous multi ban under Jason von Reigns. We will find all pathetic attempts to break the rules and we will ban you for it no matter who you are. This shouldn't be news.

It's that time again, folks! The SWC Administration will be conducting faction checks, scheduled to start next week. Please be sure that your factions meet the requirements, as detailed in the rules.
If anyone has any questions or concerns, feel free to contact myself or another Asim - we are here to help.
Sid-It 18.351: We will also be checking for Generic Datacard violations and any violators will have the "extra" datacards removed from them.
Sid-It 18.359: For those who forgot, we started faction checks on Day 357. A number of factions have datacards in excess of their slot count, so the administration will be removing them and fines will be assessed to those found abusing the generic datacard system.
Sid-It 19.014: No, we didn't forget. Here are some answers to frequently asked questions:
- Factions will be fined 10,000,000cr for each violation (except datacard violations).
- Datacard violators will be fined 10,000,000cr per excess slot (0.5s rounded up); the fines for repeat offenders will be doubled.
- The owners of factions in violation will receive a bill with the amount of fines due to Darkness, payable by the faction fined.
We are only releasing statistics of the violations at this time. Here's the damage, folks:
- 48 banner/logo violations
- 6 description violations
- 11 datacard violations (2 repeat offenders)
2017 Christmas Fund: 1,209,000,000cr
Last of the Sid-Its: Faction fines have been paid. For those of you that see those mysterious credit events, it was me who stole your precious credits. All hail Selatos!
(Also, if you are going to see Star Wars tonight, please wait until January to ruin it for everyone else....)

Twilight Foundation has secured a victory for part one. All four phases are now completed. Active droids will still be available for capture and you all can claim your rewards soon.
Tomorrow morning Combine time you can start visiting your Droid commanders inside starports to claim end-of-quest rewards. Both sides can do this.
Galactic Rewards and Impact:
Also starting tomorrow morning Combine time you will see a new generic DC available for purchase plus a new enemy will appear in bandit squads for you to loot.
A GNS will be posted tonight featuring story end game and show you next steps for Part two.
Edit: if you spoke to npc and did not get a reward, it will be provided soon.

Both teams are now in the final phase. Destroy enemy droids (or your own if you hate winning) and finish it up! Capture or Destroy!
Winner of thise Phase will be winning team. Rewards are ready to go..

Hey Everyone!
Both teams have been pushing hard and now it is time for phase 3! That said it is time for some DETAILS.
Phase 3: Every civic center in the galaxy has a droid commander that will give you some equipment and instructions. Every DARKNESS or QUEST planet has at least 12 droids on it. You can speak to them as if they were an NPC.
Twilight: Activate your BN-D0 Assassins and deactivate the GenSci R0-L0 Tank Droids.
GenSci: Activate your R0-L0 Tank Droids and deactive the Twilight Assassins.
In total I have placed 500 droids in the galaxy.
Phase 4: Once enough (number not public) droids have been activated both teams will enter phase 4. This is the combat phase. Kill enemy droids but leave your own side's droids alone! Capture or kill until they are all taken care of around the galaxy. First side to conquer all active enemy droids wins.
"WHAT DO WE WIN?!"
Stuff. Though I will say prizes are more of a galactic scale than individual scale. Even if you didn't participate you might see some of the results.
Edit: Added Commanders to Starports. Both teams on phase 3. No more phase 2 rewards available.

Two new GNS posts have gone up in case you missed them. Start donating to your team!
Volunteers can be found in any Starport in the galaxy.
Edit: Twilight has reached phase two! GenSci is in a panic and has hired more accountants to process more donations per day. Get those credits in to catch up!
Edit2: GenSci has also reached phase two now. New hints added for both sides. Talk to a volunteer.
UPDATE: Y18 D269 16:56 It is no longer strictly necessary to donate in order to support a side (it will net you 500XP though). You can join in directly at GenSci or Twilight's HQs, if you convince a friendly member of GenSci or Twilight to reveal the location. Onboard their HQ you can talk to an NPC who will allow you to become either a Twilight Supporter or GenSci Supporter and join in on what's known as "Phase 2", without having to donate.
Report any bugs to Kay Dallben and Baugrems.

A big thanks to Sims for manning the QA team previously. Kay Dallben is now director of the QA team. Any inquiries should be directed to him about testing and cp pay for those who are team members.
That is all.
