Politician Archive

Was just on TC and wanted to bring you news of important changes to the Politician.

1. Experience requirements have changed:

Tier I: 1000
Tier II: 2500
Tier III: 5000
Tier IV: 10000

2. The Policy line has been changed

Novice Polition includes: GrantZoningRights
Policy I: Mission Terminals
Policy II: Trainers
Policy III: Entertainment, Medical (was Policy IV)
Policy IV: Improved Job Market, Sample Rich (Improved hand sampling)

These are great changes that I'm sure you're all going to be excited about!

Thanks for the heads up, Plinka

EXCELLENT!

Nice

For the xp requirements, are they the same across all 4 branches now? They used to be different depending on the branch I believe.

Thanks Plinka!

But, quick question:

Which policy line though? My latest chart has Fiscal, Civic and Martial, and the changes noted could fall in any of those.

Anyone have a link to someone who's built a skill tree? I'm having trouble finding out certain things, my chart is old and I just don't think Allakhazam's been updated in a long while.

aye, where is the current tree? anyone?

Here is what I am working with. If anyone sees an error, please let me know!

It's expensive to keep every 5-man PA from building a city. Stuff won't spawn in player city radii and you can't build in them if they have the zoning thing set, so if there are excessive numbers of cities then a significant portion of the planet will be a no-build no-spawn zone.

Well if they don't want 5-10 person cities, they shouldn't have outposts as an option And the major cities are going to be surrounded by "suburbs" anyways... Welcome to SWG: urban sprawl

It will be interesting to see just how far out from cities you will have to go for missions and to place harvesters now...

Nice work Theodis! I took it and built a skill tree out of it, since it's easier for me to look at it that way:

That's my only beef with this. Why bother with a City that has these costs associated with it if you don't plan to go larger? I really wish they'd scale an outpost lower. Really, the biggest impact to server-side stuff is Shuttleports. Suppose some group of altruists wants to start a relaxing sanitarium in the middle of Dathomir? A beautifully designed garden spot with a single build and a few small huts for security.

I suppose too many cities could effectively shut down all spawn on a planet, but then they could shut down the "no spawn" rule until the Martial Policy line is learned.

Link should work again. I r a newb
