StoryYesterday I did a marathon session, going all the way from Black Sun Territory to finishing Coruscant with Antare, in one go. Ended up going to bed at around 2.30-3am. At the end of Coruscant, I got my ship and was then somewhat surprised to be told that I was going to Ord Mantell. "Ord Mantell?" I thought. "Surely you mean Taris?" But I went to Ord Mantell anyway and, it being a starter world, I figured it would be dead easy. Well, it appears that there is a section of Ord Mantell that you would be wise to avoid if you're just starting! There was an interesting point where I was standing in the Cantina in Fort Garik thinking "This is exactly where Arianae [
my smuggler character] would be standing were she logged in. Wouldn't it be cool if the two of them could be on at the same time and chat." (In terms of the Legacy system, I have imagined that Antare is the father of both Antan and Arianae). It was mentioned somewhere, when discussing the future of the legacy system, that one of the things they'd like to see at some point is having your characters interact with each other.
When I got back to my ship at the end of the Ord Mantell visit, there was a little surprise (I shan't spoil the story for those that haven't done it yet). It wasn't entirely unexpected, given the conversation I had prior to leaving the ship, but it was rather cool that they put it in. I should also mention that the Ord Mantell visit was part of the marathon session.
Today I did some grouping with Cyrus on Coruscant, I did a bit of Taris, and Mant and I did the Esseles. It would be cool to do more grouping, particularly groups of 3 or 4. I'd also like to go explore other peoples' ships at some point. I know that there's nothing to do on them but the fact of going on someone else's ship is cool! By the way, while I remember, it is interesting that the Knight and the Consular ships are the same but some of the things have been moved around a bit. Such as the intercomm, for instance, and C2-N2 stands in a different place.
CrashesTouching wood here, but the crashes seem to be reducing. I tend to get one or two crashes to desktop each play session (and experience tells me its a good idea to reboot before starting again) but BSOD seems to be a rarer occurrence. This is good because I don't like hard resetting my computer.
CraftingI still need to put together my accounts for January but, when I do, I'll let you guys know just how well my business is going.
