Jump to Lightspeed Expansion Publish Part 2: October 26th

This is the second part of Jump to Lightspeed. Today's publish includes the last files needed to enable Jump to Lightspeed.

To Log in to Jump to Lightspeed
Patch the ground game as normal
Register your JTL key on the registration page
Please exit and restart the launchpad after JTL registration.
This will complete the patch process for JTL
To Activate your Pre-Order Flash Speeder:

You must enter both your Pre-Order key and register your retail key to claim your reward (2 keys total)

Step 1: You can enter your Pre-Order key in either of these locations:
Location 1
Location 2

Step 2: Then on the left hand side of the Launchpad, just underneath the "chat" button, you will see a "Register Expansion" button. Click that button to start the registration process. Enter your JtL retail key as prompted and when you are completed, your account will be JtL Enabled and your Flash Speeder deed will be in your inventory.



To Claim your Sorosuub 3000 Veteranreward: To claim your Party Barge, your account must be "JtL Enabled". Once your account is flagged for JtL, simply log into the game and a dialogue box will open up and prompt you through claiming your reward. (To claim the SoroSuub yacht requires that you have had 180 days of uninterrupted account membership.)

Shared Assets: Please be aware that there are many "shared images" in the JtL Expansion such as ship components and other items which have a "default appearance". If you do not purchase and enable JtL, you will only see the "Default Appearance" of these items and not the item itself. Players who have JtL and players who do not have JtL may see different appearances of some in-game items in this case.

Graphics Options There are new graphics options with JtL that are automatically enabled for all players. One thing players can do to improve their game performance is to check their graphics settings. Press CTRL-O in game and open up your options window. Click the "Graphics" button and turn features on or off to suit your needs.

Please note that we are pushing a tremendous amount of new code out to you. There will likely be some issues with the ground game that we will need to fix. If you find any issues, please post them in our Ground Regressions Thread .

We will also post a Known Issues list so you know we are aware of them. Click here to find out more about Ground Regressions.


Update Notes
Major Features

Entertainer QuestsEntertainer quests have been added to all of the theaters in planetary cities. Entertainers, Dancers and Musicians can all participate in this quest by visiting the theaters and speaking with the theater manager NPC. By speaking with this NPC, Entertainers, Dancers and Musicians can sign up for an audition. Once players have passed the audition, the theater manager will extend an offer for a performance series. The performance series consists of three shows and three promotional campaigns.

When the time comes for a show to begin,audience members will enter the theater. The performing player will have an opportunity to speak to the audience to try and determine what type of music, dance, or flourishes they like, and what they dislike. When the show starts, the player will receive feedback indicating the audience reaction to the performance. Once players complete the all three shows to the satisfaction of the audience, the theater manager will reward them with a new song or dance(rewards are given for Musicians and Dancers. Entertainers may participate andearn the reward, but they will not be able to use it until they become Musicians or Dancers.)

Optimizations Many server and client optimizations were made to improve game performance.

Please stay tuned as we may update these patch notes.
