Are there any tips and tricks I should know about for the Starcruiser? Would love to know if there is something that is a must do, must eat, tip for check-in/check out, etc…I know about the captains table but outside of that special experience.
I’m not sure how much you want to know exactly, but my reply here will include some mild spoilers so feel free to skip if you want to be completely blind.
MILD SPOILERS (discussing the high level structure of the missions and the overall system, not discussing the content of them)
Basically what will happen is you will be contacted on your data pad by various people . They will either ask you to do stuff, or try to gauge your leanings to decide if they can “trust” you to do something. This is sometimes triggered by an event (like if you did a certain activity) or can be random as far as I can tell.
As far as I can tell, at least early on, helping one person doesn’t necessarily affect your standing with the other parties. So I would try to just say yes to everything or try to be everyone’s friend as much as you can in order to increase your storyline options. It didn’t seem to me that agreeing to help one side made the other side stop talking to you, as least as far as I could tell early on.
Each storyline progresses somewhat independently for the most part, and you can participate in several simultaneously. Each story will culminate in a “final event” that you will need an invitation to go to. I believe It is important for the ones you want to get to the “end” to do all the necessary missions on Batuu. I don’t think it will be possible to be invited to all of them, but you can do more than one. But for the ones you really want, do the Batuu missions all the way to the end.
If you want to experience things with others in your group, you should make sure to answer/do everything the same.
I actually did a lot of these final events (more than I was technically invited to) because my 9 y/o son got different ones than me, and he didn’t want to go alone. The CMs allowed me to go with him as long as there was space (and there was).
MORE SPOILERS BELOW - discussing which event I thought was the best and therefore requires some small details regarding the parties involved, tried to avoid significant details on the story content.
It’s been a little while, so the details on everything aren’t quite as fresh in my mind, but in my opinion the best “final event” was the one that is triggered by the Lightsaber trainers, I think they were called the “Saja”. I believe they try to contact you after you do light saber training, but again it’s been awhile so I’m not 100% sure. Was just my personal opinion anyway, of course others may not agree.
