Good Evening,
Here in North America, the seasons are slowly changing, summer is giving way to fall.
The air is getting crisper, the leaves are turning colors and your local Admin team is looking for another member to join the team as an Asim.
If you are interested, 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.
- 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 Discord 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.
Applications should be submitted via Darkness Message to both Arjuna and Falcon. 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.
- If someone wrote a biography about your character what would the Title be? What is the best chapter?
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?
- If you were to order something at Starbucks what would it be?
- Imagine for a moment you are on the team. A player is insistantly messaging you demanding that Ewoks should be added as a playable race to the game. The galaxy director has deemed Ewoks to be unacceptable and vowed never to allow them ever, no matter what. How do you handle this situation?
If you are not interested
and are still reading this post feel free to send seasons greetings to Noctis

Very fast round of the Deathmatch, or as I like to call it, Fast round of the Deathmatch, has ended. The winner is Prard`arck Inrokini! Congratulations! New deathmatches are out, this round will be back to the normal pace, you can vote here.
Last week grudge matches told us that Anakin turned to the dark side mostly because George Lucas said so. Best Star Wars Board Game is Star Wars themed Risk. The Best Alternative Medicine is: Tears of My Enemies. This is why so many people are complaining on their health, their enemies just don't want to start crying. Second place with 200 less votes went to Death Sticks, they are for those who have no enemies.
New grudge matches are out! Vote here. Submitters will be rewarded soon.
This is all for today! Have a good week everyone.

This is a courtesy announcement to let you know that within the next 24h, stat changes for heavy and light freighters will take place in order to prepare them for space combat in a future sync.
This announcement is long overdue from THIS PREVIOUS SIM NEWS. I will edit this post with the stat changes that take place, containing the old and new stats, so stay tuned!
UPDATE 1:
Below are pictures containing all of the stat updates for Heavy and Light Freighters.
Green numbers signify a number that increased
Red numbers signify a number that decreased
Dark green or red numbers signify a number that increased/decreased by roughly 2x or more(to signify "significant" changes)
Green or red numbers do not necessarily mean a stat got better or worse, such as how party slots dropping from 4 to 3 would be red, but allows an extra ship to be partied and could generally be seen as a positive change.
In addition, the Gozanti has had the following stat changes:
Shield: 350 → 425
Ionic: 200 → 250
Damage modifiers will be available for viewing when heavy and light freighters are enabled for combat in a future sync. At this time, all of your freighters have a modded status. This is due to how things work on the back end with stats, but within the next hour or so, you should see these icons go away for normally unmodified ships and existing entities will have their stats updated. The only exceptions to this are armour and weapons which have already been updated. Expect a final update when the stat sync is complete.
UPDATE 2:
Stat sync should be largely complete at this time. If you had a heavy or light freighter that was uniquely modded before, and you've noticed that it has missing mods, please submit a support ticket, and we'll consider them on a case by case basis.
During the stat sync, we decided to update the stats for the YT-510 to below, so you can stand there with your items strewn all about if you wish:
Weight Cap: 0.16T → 2T
Volume Cap: 3 m3 → 5 m3
Please note, that minor adjustments may still be made, and if done, we'll compile a list of the minor adjustments and post them as another update. In addition, there's been confusion about whether or not frieghters may be used in combat in the Kowak system. Space combat has not been enabled for these ships, so they may not attack or defend yet. If you have freighters in Kowak that you do not wish to be destroyed, I suggest you move them sooner rather than later.
Thank you for your patience during this process!
UPDATE 3:
Action VI tractor beams are back on the menu!
UPDATE 4:
Just when you think you're done editing a post, you find something else.
Cargo Canisters have just decided that they want to hold 2 passengers instead of 1. This will allow you to set up a vendor inside.

Few days ago we warned about it and today it has happened. The current round of the Deathmatch has ended! Xrati Zee is the winner, congratulations! New round is out, but this time it will be a deathmatch with a twist. Every 24h (more or less, but usually more) it will be advanced to the next round. There will be no noticements or sim news' about it, so be sure to check Deathmatch page every day (if you care). Let's see how it will go with only 3 people voting! Grudge matches will stay the same until the next Deathmatch.
Last grudge matches ended up as predicted. Most preferred currency are credits. Twelve people are still trying to make nova crystals great again. Favourite Female Jedi is no other than.. Other! Great win for the whole Jedi Other. New grudge matches are out, submitters will be rewarded soon.
That's all for today. Have a good week everyone!

- Arrest & Execute has been removed. Any players or NPCs that had the arrested status are now released. Some remaining functionality regarding warrants and security authorizations will be removed in a further two weeks.
A reminder that unwanted passengers aboard ships and other entities can be kicked using the kick passengers functionality available from the cockpit room.
- Light Freighter and Heavy Freighters have been enabled for Space Combat.

I'm not sure a tiny blurb was sufficient, so to reiterate:
Combat will be enabled for Heavy Freighters and Light Freighters on Y23 D276. This will not be a global release of combat. Instead anywhere combat is already enabled for other ships, it will be enabled for Freighters. This includes:
Please feel free to reach out with any questions that you have.

In 2 weeks (Y23 D276), we are removing all aspects of the Arrest and Execute functionality (including player and NPC arresting, in faction and out-of-faction arrests). Any players or NPCs that have the arrested status will be released.
Warrants and Security Authorizations will be removed a further 2 weeks after this.
Comments can be directed into the Sim News thread.
Falcon Edit:
Reminder that this change is taking place in 4 days. At the same time we remove A/E, we will be turning on combat for Heavy and Light Freighters. If you haven't planned accordingly, your time is running out!

New round of the Deathmatch is here, final round! Who will win? Vote here!
New grudge matches are here too (submitters will be awarded soon). From the last week's matches we found out that the Nicest CP addition of these past years is Verpine. Prometheus got the least number of votes which was predictable, because this is the only ship from the list that I own. Most Undesirable Death? Slowly Devoured by the Sarlacc! People seem to not like this particular creature, so now you know which pet you should get to guard your house.
Remember that you can submit grudge matches for CP's! Do you have a question to other players about something that you like? Or maybe about something interesting that you found in game? Or maybe would like to check what other players think about some changes/new things in game? Create a poll here!
This week we have added a new script for a Slaver. He may do some shady business with you, but he doesn't like being watched by the local authorities. He feels like at home in places that look like dungeons, camps or prisons, so you may want to follow him there first.
Resident NPC also received a small script. If you are new to the galaxy, you may find some tips from him very useful.
That's all for today. Have a good week everyone!

Hello Combine, it is I, your resident birb. I come bearing a few updates for you all! Some good, some bad, and some you likely might not care about!
First off, we'd like to offer an update on what happened in the Bright Jewel system. Many of you no doubt saw the GNS flash news about what happened on the planet Wynkahthu today and are wondering what happened. The Bright Jewel Sector and System within which this planet resides were originally created during the GalFest event. The system contains 3 moons, which were given out as prizes after the event. Original intentions were that the moons could be built up by the winners, but that the sector and system would remain quest owned and controlled. We thought we had enough flats to ensure that would never happen, but somehow it did, and went unnoticed, especially after Baugrems' resignation. As such, the system was built up, and once we noticed, we decided to take action, placing enough slabs on the planet to regain control of the sector/system in a manner which will forever prevent anyone from taking control away. The decision to take back control was not made lightly. We understand the hard work that went into building up the system, and can appreciate those who did so. Ultimately, the system will remain owned by Quests due to an active quest taking place in the system. It is important to SWC Staff that these areas remain a safe place for all who wish to take part in quests, and while we do not suspect ill intentions for those parties currently residing in Bright Jewel, it is not a chance we are willing to take. We have allowed any stations built above moons to remain in place, but have teleported all other stations out of the system to a location of their owner's choices. The SWC Administration understands the frustration that this change brings, and we thank those involved for cooperating with the decision.
Next, I'd like to share some news that I've opened a thread in the Work for CPs forum. I'll be overseeing another Room Map CP Bounty. Please visit the thread to find out more information, and let us know if you have any questions.
Finally, I'll leave you with some stat changes. We have updated the Consular-class Cruiser as well as the Gozanti-class Cruiser with the following stat changes:
Consular-class Cruiser
- Class: Light Freighter → Corvette
- Sublight Speed: 40 → 55 MGLT
- Max Speed: 400 → 550 km/h
- Party Slots: 4.0 → 8.0
- Hull: 350 → 400
- Deflectors: 300 → 600
- Ionic Capacity: 157 → 220
- Weight Capacity: 50 → 1,000 T
- Volume Capacity: 550 → 1,550 m³
- Max Passengers: 16 → 33
- Heavy Lasers: 2 → 0
- Turbolasers: 0 → 4
- Concussion Missile Launchers: 0 → 2
Gozanti-class Cruiser
- Class: Light Freighter → Corvette
- Hyperspeed: 2 → 3
- Sublight Speed: 20 → 40 MGLT
- Max Speed: 200 → 400 km/h
- Manoeuvrability: 3 → 4
- Length: 42 → 64 m
- Party Slots: 4.0 → 6.0
- Hull: 300 → 400
- Deflectors: 200 → 350
- Ionic Capacity: 100 → 200
- Armour: 0 → 55
- Max Passengers: 12 → 25
- Heavy Lasers: 8 → 4
- Quad Lasers: 4 → 2
This sums up all the recent changes and updates. As always, please feel free to reach out to a member of the SWC staff or submit a support ticket with any questions/comments/concerns you may have. All complaints may be directed at Noctis. Thank you!
Minor edit: Bounty Hunting Rewards for the Gozanti have been reduced from 3 uses to 2 to reflect one full squad's worth.

This is a note to all current and future Showdown Coordinators. You may not start a showdown match with only AI vs AI opponents. You may not set yourself as the only participant. This is your only warning. Future violations will result in immediate removal of coordinator status and an automatic strike on your account as stated on the rules page.
This test was intended for players to fight one another/AI, not for research purposes. If for whatever reason you are unable to clean up your arena, please coordinate with another arena coordinator to get your arena cleaned up when finished.
As always please feel free to reach out to a staff member or create a support ticket with any questions or issues. Thank you.

Year 23 Day 204, 23:19 Noctis banned player Anilys Krassus providing the following reason: Bug Exploit - Utilizing scripts to exploit software weaknesses in web pages in an area of a group or faction.
Due to the complexity of the exploit situation(thank you people of the internet), it rose to the level of a second strike* along with an increase in the ban time and forfeiture of assets acquired. The user may request an unban in 45 days. Any further strikes will result in a permanent ban.
As a reminder from the rules:
You may not - Hack or exploit software weaknesses in web pages, chat rooms, or any other areas of a group or faction. Note: This includes misconfiguration when a clear effort was made to secure the web site (such as being private but accidentally left open to search crawlers).
Noctis Edit: After further review of the information provided, the ban has been reduced to 2 weeks instead of 45 days. It has been determined that while there were no scripts used to automate the process, a bug was still exploited. Any questions, please contact Erek.

For repeated breaches of the community guidelines regarding age-appropriate play, and abuse of the custom art queue, Scott Hall has been banned for 2 weeks.
At the end of his ban, he can submit to support and return to the Combine.

Last grudge matches ended up as predicted. Most preferred currency are credits. Twelve people are still trying to make nova crystals great again. Favourite Female Jedi is no other than.. Other! Great win for the whole Jedi Other. New grudge matches are out, submitters will be rewarded soon.
That's all for today. Have a good week everyone!

New round of the Deathmatch is here, final round! Who will win? Vote here!
New grudge matches are here too (submitters will be awarded soon). From the last week's matches we found out that the Nicest CP addition of these past years is Verpine. Prometheus got the least number of votes which was predictable, because this is the only ship from the list that I own. Most Undesirable Death? Slowly Devoured by the Sarlacc! People seem to not like this particular creature, so now you know which pet you should get to guard your house.
Remember that you can submit grudge matches for CP's! Do you have a question to other players about something that you like? Or maybe about something interesting that you found in game? Or maybe would like to check what other players think about some changes/new things in game? Create a poll here!
This week we have added a new script for a Slaver. He may do some shady business with you, but he doesn't like being watched by the local authorities. He feels like at home in places that look like dungeons, camps or prisons, so you may want to follow him there first.
Resident NPC also received a small script. If you are new to the galaxy, you may find some tips from him very useful.
That's all for today. Have a good week everyone!

New round of the Deathmatch is here! Same with Grudge matches!
Results of the last grudge matches are as follows: Lando has the best smile, even better than Palpatine! Peoples favourite race type is a ship race, swoop races are the least popular, no one wants to get swooped, everyone like to be shipped. Preferred trading website is CPM, but compared to the previous similar poll, TFM keeps on gaining new fans.
In case you missed it, not long ago we received an interesting update that fans of custom images may enjoy. You can assign custom images to entities via an option in the inventory.
As shown on the graph below, many people already tried this option. Only on the first day, 7 times more cp's were spent than usually!
This is a graph of CP's spent during the last month on custom images:
What does it mean for the galaxy? Less of those loud Pteropter Hover Pods in your neighborhood and dirty puffer pigs in your backyard, and more nice looking entities wherever you go! Thank you Junior Dev Vadik!
This is all for today. There was one more important thing but I forgot. Maybe next time!
Have a good week everyone!

Good day everyone. Your friendly neighborhood birb is back home and getting more involved in things. I don't fully expect to be back in full swing until about September, but I'm helping out as I can.
Recently, the SWC Staff have seen an influx of harassment tickets pertaining to discord, and we felt like an announcement regarding these tickets would help clear things up as it allows us to communicate our official stance to the entire playerbase so that there is no question on things.
The Star Wars Combine Administration defines harassment as any unwanted behavior (verbal or suggested) that makes a reasonable person feel uncomfortable, humiliated, or mentally distressed.
If someone is making statements or partaking in behavior that is harassing to you, we encourage you to let us know via support ticket. However, we need to make it explicitly clear that we do not moderate any discord server not officially endorsed by the game and its staff members. Staff presence in a server does not constitute an endorsement of that server. For harassment taking place in a privately owned, unendorsed discord server, please take all complaints up with the administration of that server. We also encourage you to block public and private messages from individuals who are harassing you and if warranted report them to Discord's Trust & Safety team.
Generally, our first advice to anyone reporting harassing behavior is to utilize the many blocking features built in to mediums like IRC, Discord, Darkness Messaging, and private forums. That said, when harassment continues, the SWC Team hopes we have shown that we are willing to step in.
When it comes to harassment that extends outside of official areas (or attempts to circumvent your blocking them), we strongly recommend you still submit a ticket. Even in cases where we are unable to act, it will allow us keep an eye on persistent troublemakers.
Officially endorsed and moderated areas are as follows:
• SWC Main Discord: https://discord.gg/VJkyNAnRys
• SWC Exhibitions/Showdown/Warsim Discord: https://discord.gg/5FSG3dK45J
• SWC Events Discord: https://discord.gg/ENsFHnATcE
• SWC Forums
• SWC Darkness Messages
More Info on reporting an issue to Discord's Trust & Safety Team: https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000291932-How-to-Properly-Report-Issues-to-Trust-Safety

It's this time of the week when sometimes the deathmatch gets advanced to the new round. We all know this is what you've been waiting for. It is time for many days of research who to vote for, hours of contemplating if you are picking the right person and later on facing the consequences of your choice. Then exactly the same thing with grudge matches! So many days of entertainment! Anyway, here is a new round of the Deathmatch!
From the previous grudge matches, one of them had a question - How does the game end? The most popular answer was Disney. The second most popular answer was Everyone Quits after Dying from Combat. But imagine how calm and quiet the game would be then. All those undefended planets and assets that can be claimed? Would it be possible to resist the temptation and not to recreate?
New grudge matches are waiting for you here. Submitters will be rewarded soon.
Have a good week everyone!

New matches for the Deathmatch match are here. Previous one was won by Lirri Elysar, congratulations! There are also new Grudge matches (submitters will be rewarded soon). Submissions of the new ones are still open, so if you would like to earn 500CP in a very easy way, feel free to go to submit grudge match page and post your idea.
Results of the previous grudge matches:
What event would you like to see return : Loot box event! It's probably that event when you loot your faction and steal all crates boxes with a nice stuff? Not many people liked few years long easter egg hunt :(
Worst shaft to fall down : Clearly Shaft A. Most of the voters wouldn't fall for it. Shaft C received the least number of votes, making it the most pleasant looking shaft to fall into.
Best Rebel Government in the Galaxy (Bar RA) : Triumvirate Coalition. Second best one is The Resistance who resisted winning this voting.
This is all for today. Have a good week everyone!

We have added a few new Showdown Coordinators. You can find their names in the Showdown section in the Rules. Some of those Coordinators will be hosting not only public matches, but also private ones, so you can message them and arrange a match for your faction/group/alliance only. If you would like to know their availability or preferences on which type of showdown they prefer to run, check their posts in this thread. Have fun!
Final round of the current Deathmatch is out. Who will win? Let's find out, you can vote here. New grudge matches are out too, you can vote here (submitters will be rewarded soon).
Quick summary of the last weeks ones. Ideal father - Han Solo and Palpatine were left far behind Bail Organa. When it comes to creatures development, most people would like to have an ability to ride them. And the most preferred element is jawa.
This is all for today, have a good weekend everyone!

Just a quick update, we got a new round of the Deathmatch and a few new grudge matches (submitters will be rewarded with CP's soon).
Short summary of previous grudge matches. Majority of voters are not force sensitive, and most of those who are, try to follow both sides at the same time, light and dark. Also most of the voters as their Main outfit are using full body armor, or some fancy variation of it. Safety first. In the last, very controversial poll, the voters have decided that hot dog is not a sandwich. No comments here to avoid people sending assassins on me.
This is all for today (at least from me), have a good the rest of the week everyone and see you next time.

Hello everyone! New round of the Deathmatch is up! Go vote for someone!
In the latest grudge matches, people decided that the Best Mandolorian Sigil is Mudhorn and Sand Panther. No love for puffer pig. Favourite Tie is the Tie Interceptor and the least favourite one is the Tie Bomber. Not all Tie's made it to the grudge match though, so there is still a chance that there are more popular Tie's (an idea for a grudge match!).
When it comes to GMAAS voting, the Approach the astromech and try to activate it option got the most votes and this is what may happen next! But this week there are no new episodes, the story is being put on hold. It may continue one day if people enjoyed reading it. Do you think it was an interesting story? Did deciding what will happen next (through the grudge matches) made it more engaging and fun? If you have any comments or would like to share your opinion on this project and if it should be continued, DM Polar or Falcon. Thank you!
New grudge matches are up! You can vote here. Submitters will be awarded soon. If you have a good idea for a grudge match, you are welcome to submit one and if it will be published, you will receive CP's!
This is all for today! Have a good weekend everyone.

We have a new Deathmatch winner! Hexagon shaped avatar wins!(no one should be surprised) It's Dex Sehrin! Congratulations. New round has been started, you can check if you or your friends are there and vote against them here.
Results of grudge matches from last week: Which Is Your Favorite RM Hauling Heavy Freighter? The one and only: Bulk Freighter! Is there anyone who never piloted one? if there is, you should go and do it right now, you will not regret it!
Best place to live! - South. I think it's the right answer. North was not far away from south when it comes to votes, only 30 votes away! That's less than Chisses and people who are still stuck on Winter Comet, who voted for Island Life.
Our Grudge Match Actually Affects Something serie will go through an interesting plot twist. The winning option: Stay with Sel aboard the Russet Eagle, and go down fighting alongside her friend. will have terrible consequences for our main characters. What kind of consequences? You can read about them here.
New Grudge matches are out!
That's it for today! Have a good weekend everyone! And if you happen to have a bad one... bad days are often a source of good, interesting stories! Stay strong like a... like a... strong Gamorrean!
