Anyone know when the Lodestar is slated for release?

[Flammey]

That's the question, when's the Lodestar coming out? Anyone know?

[keaoi]

not the next expansion, but the one after that, but youll have to pay a fee to use it.

Your guess is as good as mine, but one thing I do know: a quick content addition to back up CC will make or break it. The people who are on the fence for CC want to be assured that they will not have to pay for everything new from now on, which is a valid concern. They also don't want to get crushed by CC assets without something new of their own. CC will take time to catch on, it makes a complex game even more so, but I think the devs can handle it.

As a future heavy transport officer, I too want the mighty Lodestar (I wonder if someone can confirm this spelling, I've seen it as Loadstar also).

I've only seen it spelt "Lodestar" but I really haven't checked into it all that much.

Lodestar

[Flammey]

I posted this question on "Ask the Devs." Maybe it will get asked and answered. Maybe.

[Phaden]

It was brought up in the Dev questioning last time they had it, I beleive it was slated for after CC and after platoons and Outfit Bases.

[Black]

They are going to do the Outfit Bases first i believe (check spelling) then after its the lodestar And hopefully they will make PS more Stable since CC screwed it up

CC bugs > OOB > Lodestar

Don't post if you dont have an answer, thanks.

The lodestar will come, apparently it was voted lower priority in that poll they had a few months ago, since Outfit Base Ownership is coming first.

[Doppler]

Is anyone really that enthused about outfit base ownership? I for one dont find it that big of deal, I think if they wanted to help people hold bases they'd let CC benefits be linked to other bases.

[Hamma]

I can't see linked benifits for modules, that makes no sense to me. Then modules are less valuble.

The idea of CC is to make bases more valuble.. for example I dont see the TR giving up Caer on Forseral (emerald) anytime soon because it has every module installed but one. Creating linked benifits makes this base the same as the other bases on the continent. Bad idea if you ask me.

OBO will do the same, if an outfit claims a base and turns it into a super base it will make it very important, to them and the empire. They will fight much harder for it then.

[Doppler]

Maybe I'm just uysed to Johari (which after trying the other servers seems to have the wierdest dynamics out there) but it seems like theres never any cohesion on any given day someone will completely zerg cysor away from us Ditto for amerish probly. I dunno if OBO will change this much, well see.

What is the Lodestar?

[Hamma]

A heavy transport, in theory it can pick up vehicles and transport them. Possibly move AMS's, prowlers, etc.
