Fist of the Brotherhood Report #10
There's a ton of reports and goodness listed below this that you should check out also. If you haven't... go do that first!
SWTOR Galactic Starfighter Launches! There is much rejoicing!
We've had quite a bit of chatter about this over the last month or so. From the initial announcement of it, through the Public Test Server previews, and now (finally!) it has arrived (for subscribers)! Cethgus has a fantastic introduction news post on the new feature which is worthwhile to check over. This month's TOR Competition also can be entered through playing Galactic Starfighter matches!
For those of you out there who are a bit OCD about knowing everything before jumping into a game, here's a few links from one of my favorite SWTOR Resource Sites, Dulfy.com
- Galactic Starfighter New Player Guide - careful, this is a long read.
- Galactic Starfighter Gunship Build - The Gunship is like a sniper ship. It has a railgun which hits super hard and has the longest range out there. However its unable to move while aiming.
- Galactic Starfighter Scout Build - A Scout ship, lightly armored and fast. Pretty cut and dry.
- Galactic Starfighter Strike Fighter Build - Its coming soon, but Dulfy hasn't finished it yet. This is the middle ground ship.
Arch also has a News Post which we recently updated with the plan for how Clusters of Fire will be awarded for Galactic Starfighter. The short version is Galactic Starfighter will be awarded in the same manner as SWTOR Warzones. 1 CF per Match, Win or Lose. You must be grouped with another DJB Guild Member to qualify for CFs and take a screenshot at the end of the match. Check out his post for all the details!
December Competitions
I think the amount of Gaming Competitions we have going for this month almost qualifies for a report of its own! We stepped up the options here, so if you find yourself snowed in or on break after Christmas and are looking for something to do... well just take a glance at the Competitions Listing and I'm sure you'll find something that strikes your fancy.

Dark Crusade Gaming
The Crusade has finally ended. Since we ran another PVP based round I thought listing out the by Platform breakdown might be interesting to some folks. So here you go, the most popular platforms from November 2013 Dark Crusade:
- Pazaak with 54% of the Gaming Submissions
- Jedi Academy with 25% of the Gaming Submissions
- SWTOR Duels with 15% of the Gaming Submissions
- Starcraft 2 with 6% of the Gaming Submissions
Teamspeak Server Returns
In case you missed the earlier News Post we now have a Teamspeak Server running again for the club. Feel free to use it anytime, its not strictly reserved for just the Gamers.
