Star Wars Galaxies to get vehicle combat
News by Oli Welsh

Yesterday

Christopher Field, producer of Sony Online Entertainment's Star Wars Galaxies MMO, has confirmed that vehicle combat is coming to the five-year-old game.

In a forum post Field - going by his online alias Dotanuki - said that vehicle combat will form part of the forthcoming Battle for Echo Base update.

Star Wars fans will know that Echo Base was the site of the famous Battle of Hoth sequence from the start of the Empire Strikes Back film, in which the Rebels' Snowspeeders take down Imperial AT-AT walkers. The scene's been recreated in videogames many times, but it's the kind of large-scale conflict that's been largely missing from Galaxies so far.

"The team has been working feverishly, reviewing the film every step of the way, to ensure as authentic experience as we can provide," said Field. "The environment is absolutely massive. The North Field alone is huge and will provide some exciting battle moments.The base itself is labyrinth of tunnels and rooms."

More information will be revealed at SOE's Fan Faire convention in Las Vegas in a week's time. "I was going to announce vehicle combat at Fan Faire, but it seems that that secret was too good to keep under wraps," said Field, perhaps referring to his boss John Smedley's slip of the tongue when talking to Massively at E3.

"Yes, we are including vehicle combat in The Battle of Echo Base. To find out what vehicles on Hoth are available for battle you'll need to attend the Galactic Assembly presentation at Fan Faire."

Field also mentioned some of the loot types being introduced with the Star Wars Galaxies Trading Card Game, Champions of the Force, and new interactive seasonal events, including one inspired by the infamous Star Wars Holiday Special.

Eurogamer MMO will be attending Fan Faire, so watch out for more information on Galaxies and the rest of SOE's bulging catalogue of MMOs around the 14th to the 17th August.   ENDQUOTE.

the 14th to the 17th? That is when I predicted the server shutdown. It really seems like alot of work for a few players . If they can do this then why will SOE not merger the Servers - on the Kauri server My vehicle better be equip with a hyperspace loop so I could at least attack myself -ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.

Heh, so they're FINALLY doing something about vehicle combat?

We've been begging (repeatedly) for that in the Pre-CU days.

Too bad they couldn't do that when there were actually  alot of players.

Another example of late timing and missed opportunities.

Jestor's been predicting the imminent shutdown of SWG for three years now. And every time the date of his "prediction" passes, he just makes another one, as if the previous one never happened.

After six months of NGE I was amazed at the fact of the game still not shutting down. Now it seems to me a joke that the game is still live..

I know nothing about business models  or strategies or marketing but the first day I read what NGE was going to be I was sure SOE should send their suits to business night classes. it has been and will be an example of what you never have to do. 

it was a sinking ship since 2005-11-15.

SOE has not  offered classics or rolled back in its moment  just cause of PROUD.

So it is normal that Jestor ,me and other people give dates above shutting cause it is a real joke that it is still live.

It could be a loss leader -- a product that gets people in the door. Star Wars sells -- that much is certain. People try the game out because it's Star Wars -- then SONY Viral marketers spread the line that EQ2 is a much better game, and the only reason the game is bad is LA "forced the NGE." People then try EQ2 and find that it IS a much better game, so they start playing that one.

It might be worth keeping afloat for that reason alone. Plus they actualy soend so little on it, it might just clear a small profit.
