Good evening everyone,

Tonight the Regent Staff has implemented our first booster release of items, which delivers member and clan items alike. More on that detailed below.

Our resident CodeGod, James has started implementing a feature (which is not yet live) that will eventually allow members to sort items based on which release they're from, and I'll make an announcement in one of my reports when that goes live. Additionally, you'll start seeing status updates on existing and currently planned future projects in each of my reports so that the membership always has a rough idea of where we stand and what we're plugging away on. Please note not all of your questions will have answers or be answered, as things are constantly changing in regards to the Regent Staff's productions.

Without further do...

The Premiere Booster Release contains 23 new items (not counting the flights or duplicated items for clans), including a new jetpack, weapons, space vehicles, and land vehicles. As the image suggests (thank you to Slagar for creating the booster pack image template) we want these releases to feel reminiscent of the old Star Wars Trading Card Game, and that's the theme we're going for. Below are two lists with what we've released tonight.

Ongoing Projects

Planetary Assets

Staff Member(s): Thran, Slagar (Selika)
The Regent Staff has recieved approval to implement Planetary Assets, which will see over well over 50+ new items for clans to purchase added to possessions. We still need to do item images for these, so implementation probably won't be for a week or two, but as said previously, this is something the Regent Staff is very excited about.

These items will go into a new store available for clans to purchase from. Here is a little teaser now that we're close to launch...

Armor Upgrades

Staff Member(s): Teebu, Bentre, Anubis (Zxyl)
As it stands, Armor Upgrades are coming along nicely, and we plan on having a large variety of both basic and unique options available for members to select from. Our target for getting these completed and ready for final review is sometime in the middle of next month. Once that final review is done, it's back to implementation again and moving onto the final set of the initial possessions upgrades launch, Land Vehicle Upgrades.

Masterwork Possessions

Staff Member(s): Anubis (Zxyl)
Earlier this week I emailed the Dark Council with a proposal for a new swath of possessions, which I've dubbed Masterwork Possessions, and received approval from the powers that be to proceed as I have planned. Now that artifacts are completed and in the system, this project is my personal priority while I continue to assist the rest of the Regent Staff on other projects. I am not going to be releasing a ton of details or answering questions on this project at this stage as it's still in its infancy, but what I will say is this:

• This project is going to be a huge step forward for members that have put in the time and effort to reach the second half of the Equite ranks, and will be accessible in some form for all members ranked Equite 3 and higher.
• Masterwork Possessions will all be of the highest quality build and fitment, allowing the highest level of personalization and upgrades by all being Legendary rarity.
• Masterwork Possessions include iconic weapons, armor, droids, land vehicles, and space vehicles (including Corvettes!) from our possessions system.
• Masterwork Possessions will not be purchased with credits. The mechanic/currency for purchasing these items and how you earn it will be revealed closer to launch. Credits will continue to ba accrued as normal once Masterwork Possessions are unlocked.
• Masterwork Possessions will be available to purchase from a special set of Masterwork Vendors.

Faction Possessions

Staff Member(s): Thran, Anubis (Zxyl)
The existing factions have needed some possessions love for a while now, and that lovin' is now underway. After plowing through the creation of Planetary Assets, Thran is leading the charge on updating these and bringing them up to snuff/accuracy with recent events, including the last GJW and RoS.

Booster Releases

Staff Member(s): Entire Staff
The Regent Staff is going to continue doing these booster releases as our main form of item drops, dropping these once we feel there are enough item prototypes written to do so without detracting from our other, more substantial project work like upgrades. There's lots of Star Wars media planned, so we have no doubt that the House of Mouse will continue to feed us content that we can then bring to you, the membership. If the canon content starts to slow, too will the releases, and they'll be carefully paced. Now that the Regent Staff has implemented its first booster release, we'll be starting on another one shortly.

In the future, we'll be working with the Herald Staff to let them know what items we plan on dropping once we have a rough idea of what we're bringing to the table so they can determine what (if any) they wish to bring to you for selector items much sooner than months after we've completed our own releases, bringing the two closer together.

Planned Projects

Starship Review

At some point the Regent Staff is going to do a review of all existing member ships, and make determinations where we feel is due to make clan versions of these vessels. We've already made that determination on at least one item prototype for the Faction Possessions rework, so this is something that we'll be doing once our schedule clears up a bit and major projects are off the docket.

Clan Fleet Upgrade Expansion

I'm planning on the Regent Staff implementing a massive expansion to the Clan Fleet Upgrade item type, which will allow clans an additional method of spending their cold hard credits in the form of purchasable upgrades for their capital ships. At this time, the only Clan Fleet Upgrades in the system are the unique Artifact rarity upgrades awarded for vendettas. This will cease to be a thing, and going forward Legendary rarity upgrades will be rewarded for those events. Purchasable upgrades will range from Uncommon to Epic in rarity, keeping in line with the capital ship rarities that Clans have the credits/ability to purchase.

As always...
