is there someone I should be messaging for an invite? I do /who "that's no goon" and it gives me like 50 people, I'm assuming cause its capturing more than actual guild members so I'm reluctant to randomly start messaging people, or is the guild just that big?

If you're around now, I can invite. Look for Rheranni.

For me at least when you type a /who it gives you everyone on the planet you're on, if you click the magnifying symbol it performs your actual search.

edit: "ensign" should be "lieutenant" let's not mix army and navy ranks!

/who doesn't support full phrases; when you search a phrase it uses OR on all the words. Your best bet is going to be just searching for "goon" or whatever most unique word you can get. There's also a dropdown to change the last column display to be Guild instead of the default "Comment".

(This is also why searching for certain guilds is almost impossible. Republic Command for example will get you false hits because of Republic Fleet and anybody that's a Commando.)

Also you can't use quotation marks to tell it to search for a specific group of words, that would be just silly for a search engine to be able to do.

It's important to do that last part, because if you don't, you'll run the risk of whispering anybody with the word "goon" in either their name or guild.

That's how I ended up talking to a very confused "Dragoon" fellow while trying to join the republic guild!

Hey, more of you jerks need to download the test client so we can get a good look at what guild ships are all about over the weekend. We've only got 3 people who have done it so far, and the last stream said we'll need at least 5. If you get on there and want to play around with decorating, I can get you all the credits you want (on the test server) to unlock strongholds and whatnot.

Hmmm I guess I can download it to my laptop. Sadly my desktop SSD is at < 10gb of space remaining (AND 35 GIGS OF THAT IS SWTOR, which is a ridiculous % of my 120gb SSD).

Yes, the test server install works as a whole separate client installed alongside the normal one.

I'm tired of following my dreams, I'm just gonna ask where they're goin' and meet up with 'em there.

Bit late to the conversation but when you do a /who That's no goon you can change the dropdown on the far right tab to show the player's guild rather than note or whatever it's set to by default. Will get you a bit further.

So I tried out the test server and strongholds, I just covered the floor with pets and mounts since that's all I had mostly. Not all pets can be placed, it seems, but most of the mounts could. There's a lot of space in all of them, so it looks like it will take a lot of time to get enough to fill them up.

Do we have enough yet to make a guild and see the guild ship?

Note that while it's good money you might make more if you hold off on selling them until housing is live. Some of the crafted decorations will require mats from all professions. Look at Dulfy for what's likely to be needed.

Just as an example, someone calculated that this is what's currently required to craft a player class starship (like the Fury or Defender) as a stronghold decoration.

Purple:
15 Synthetic Energy Matrix
15 Rakata Energy Node
5 Beryllius / Permacrete
5 Mandalorian Iron / Ultrachrome
5 Beryllius / Mytag Crystals / Sterilization Kit
5 Mandalorian Iron / Corusca Gem / Radioactive Paste
5 Denebrillan Star Silk
5 Nanite Threaded Cloth

Blue:
30 Alien Data Cube
30 Biometric Crystal Alloy
25 Ciridium / Dallorian Alloy
25 Frasium / Reinforced Transparisteel
25 Ciridium / Rainbow Gem / Smart Cells
25 Frasium / Lorrdian Gemstone / Medical Grade Injector
25 Hypercloth
25 Nanosilk
5 Subelectronic Data Module
5 Bio-mechanical Interface Chip

Green:
25 Diaphanous Crystal
25 Polychromic Crystal
40 Electrum
40 Mythra
40 Durasteel
40 Damind Crystal
40 Carbonic Crystal
40 Upari Crystal
40 Alien Artifact Fragment
40 Primeval Artifact Fragment
40 Primordial Artifact Fragment
30 Metabolic Enhancement Agent / Artificial Microbe
30 Biological Compounding Chemical / Viral Residue
30 Mutagenic Paste / Red Goo
30 Neurochemical Extract / Immunity Cell Culture
40 Amorphous Carbonite
40 Zal Alloy
40 Turadium

I haven't double-checked their numbers, but it seems about right. And you just know that everyone is going to want their spaceship parked outside, so all this poo poo is gonna be high demand.

I've been keeping my companions occupied gathering the blue/purple quality mats for a bit now. Probably gonna profiteer off of it rather than make much though.

I think its goddamn hilarious that the game is gonna basically have interior design leaderboards though.

I'm fond of the things in the going places bundle, if you don't have them already. Has Rocket Boots, and one rank of the fleet pass/quick travel cooldown reducers in it. Storage upgrades for your whole legacy are nice too.

Seconding this- it's really convenient, and worth the money it saves in frustration. There's also some +Willpower suit going for 15 CC- might as well get that if you've got some spare change.

I've just spent an hour or so scanning the GTN for clothes and dye modules to play Pretty Space Princess Dress-Up, and come away wishing there was some kind of resource that allowed you (offline) to mix-n-match various armor items and dye modules to create the perfect 'look'...
