Star Wars Galaxies Friday Feature

Sony’s official Star Wars Galaxies website has been updated with a new Friday Feature, this time offering a guide for getting started as a privateer.. An excerpt:

Staying out of the war and keeping your engines hot is what being a privateer is all about. Once a player begins Jump to Lightspeed, they are on a fast track to get into their ship and the fun. Most importantly, players are drawn into the Star Wars experience. For those that want to get into the action, but stay clear of picking sides (Empire or Rebellion), there is another choice: Privateer!

The first thing you will notice in Jump to Lightspeed is that there will be three e-mail transmissions on your in-game email system (press CTRL-E or use your data toolbar). As the various factions try to gain your favor, they will contact you within the first few moments of the game by sending you a message. For those of you that want to fly for profit, you need to get hooked up with the privateers!
