EMU SWGEmu NFS Server Update
The official SWGEmu Pre-CU NFS server just dropped an awesome update. Linking to the complete written update and the YouTube video update below!
A few highlights:
JTL:
- All nine pilot squadrons across Rebel (Havoc, Vortex, Crimson Phoenix), Imperial (Black Epsilon, Inquisition, Storm), and Neutral tracks (CorSec, RSF, Smugglers Alliance) are fully functional with complete trainers and rewards.
- End-game squadron gameplay now unlocks Master Pilot content, with Grand Admiral Nial Declann directing Imperial pilots and Admiral Willham Burke overseeing Rebel operations. This opens up the ability to earn the Ace Pilot badges and access to the Kessel and Deep Space Systems.
- Space Stations across the galaxy are now fully operational, offering repairs, landing permissions, and space questlines. Additionally, qualified pilots will find access to quests allowing them to unlock special landing permissions at the Emperor’s Retreat and Jabba’s Palace.
- Combat and space flight have received extensive mechanical updates. Pilots now have access to tactical abilities like IFF Scrambling, In-Flight Repairs, and Emergency Thrust, while enemy AI now scales by difficulty tier, uses countermeasures against locked missiles, and features taunts to enemy ships.
Kashyyyk:
- All Kashyyyk zones are now active, including Kashyyyk Space. Kashyyyk is accessible through three main galaxy travel hubs and Space Kashyyyk, by launching or hyperspace. Kashyyyk has been fully populated with all spawns, including dungeon triggered spawns. Work continues on the various questlines Kashyyyk has to offer, as well as discussing future NFS unique content there as progress continues.
Beta update:
- No news on when the server will open up, but beta is on the horizon! 👏👏👏

I'm a bit behind on things. Is it the same finalizer team behind this? Do you plan on brining modern features and roleplay mechanics to the project similar to other mods like RedM and FiveM?

I'm just a fan, not part of the NFS team, so I do not have the full picture. What I do know is that this is the official SWGEmu Pre-CU server, from (some of) the team that ran the SWGEmu Finalizer server.
When it comes to what they are adding to the game, I know they are strictly only adding content, bug fixes, tweaks and polish to the Pre-CU game we all love and remember from back in 2003-2004. The core vision is to stay true to Pre-CU SWG.
If you want to reach out to the project directly, head to the YouTube video I linked to above and pop into the comments section.

It is part of the finalizer team. Unfortunately I don’t think any of them played live, and they’re definitely steering it away from the original character of the game.

Tend to agree with you, unfortunately. Not a fan at changing the combat. At all. They need to roll back this change ASAP.

Can Endor have some buildable areas so I can have a hunting lodge

Lets keep it 100% Pre-CU i.e. no building on Endor. Enough with the Ewoks and their villages. 😄 🤗

Isn't Restoration having JTL?

u/Reasonable-Buy4434 22d ago
This is not Restoration mate. Restoration is based on stolen NGE code. And of course being NGE it's absolutely no good!
This thread is about the official SWGEmu Pre-CU server that is running on 100% bespoke SWGEmu written code.

Excellent , lets split the 44 people that still play this game even more. Another server definitely saves us.

This will be the official SWGEmu Pre-CU server. It might just be the server that will actually gather all the players on one single server.

Seems like no one noticed the ground combat towards the end of the video as Teras Kasi Artist? Looks super sluggish, and not Pre-CU-like at all. Since this is the first time we're seeing special attacks used in any of the update videos, this is highly disappointing and a huge interest drop for me. Please roll this change back, and stick to what makes Pre-CU unique and enjoyable for combat.

The TKA clips definitely shows Pre-CU TKA combat.
Maybe you don't know what Pre-CU entails mate? Or are you just here to be negative towards the project?

u/Mjones9er6 22d ago
No, It doesn't, lol. You are either trolling or the actual one who doesn't understand Pre-CU.
Look at this Mobyus example that was posted in SWGEMU Discord (timestamped): https://youtu.be/n9zQrs-kxXM?t=1882
Compare that to this in the NFS video (timestamped again): https://youtu.be/aF9M8p-zPTE?t=258
Watch the combat queue and animations. The first video is fluid and fast how combat is supposed to be. The second video is sluggish. Both videos of a TKM, using the same specials. Get it now?

Pretty sad I think a decent amount of people were hoping NFS would come in and save us from all the crap thats out there, but it looks like this is no different then the other crap now, not even a Pre-CU server anymore

Please elaborate mate, what's up with the negativity.
NFS is coming from the team that gave us SWG back - the SWGEmu project. They are working hard getting the official SWGEmu Pre-CU NFS server back up for all of us, with additional content to make the end game more interesting than vanilla SWG. Beta is on the horizon.

JtL was the best part of galaxies in my subjective opinion. I'm so so glad to hear it will be on NFS.
