We begin with part 1 of a new Developer Blog series geared towards discussing the development of Galactic Starfighter. We have the intro for you below but you'll have to click here for the full read.

"Greetings Starfighters,

Let me welcome you to what will be the first of many Developer Diaries delving into the background and development of Galactic Starfighter™ and its place within the Star Wars™: The Old Republic™ experience.

Before I get into the details of this diary entry, let me say thank you to all of you, our incredible fans. Your enthusiasm over the last couple years and leading up to the announcement of Galactic Starfighter has inspired the development team and been critical in crafting the vision of what the digital expansion has become, as well as what it will evolve into in the future. You may have assumed we weren’t listening, but I promise, we were reading every post… and taking copious notes.

So, with that, let’s talk about Galactic Starfighter, or as many of you have been calling it, the Super-Secret Space Project (SSSP).

We'll be sure to keep you posted when subsequent Galactic Starfighter Development posts go online.

Looking ahead to Game Update 2.5, SWTOR.com also has a nice feature breaking down the class changes that are on the horizon. From combat changes to new terminology, you might want to check in on this detailed post before 2.5 launches.

As we continue, the SWTOR Holiday Update reminds players of some upcoming events and their release dates. These include Game Update 2.4.2, Bounty Contract Week, character renaming, the Thanksgiving Double XP weekend, and Game Update 2.5: Galactic Starfighter Subscriber Early Access.
