New TGC Housing

Three new structures which raise two questions:  "How to get them?" and "Can they be placed in Solaria?"
These are obtained from TCG (SWG: The Card Game).  It's free and people with Star Wars Galaxies accounts can get free packs monthly.  If you DON'T think you have an activated TCG account yet, try one of these two methods:

1)  Inside of the SWG game, use the command /tcg
2)  From the SOE launcher: select the Games menu heading and from the drop-down list select Star Wars Galaxies TCG.  Or in the Games window, click the Strategy tab then select Star Wars Galaxies TCG.

The card game ties in for each account.  So if you have multiple accounts, you can have multiple card game accounts as well.

Why activate a card game?  If you like unique items to decorate your house with, that is the best example.  Some cards are "loot cars" which mean when claimed they can be used inside SWG as decor: but some have a bonus if consumed.  Vehicles and housing are other examples of things.  Each moth there is a special campaign mission in the card game where winning it earns a loot card.  So in theory, every month people can earn at least one rare item for SWG.  And if you need a hand learning the game, just let me know.

Here are the structures which will be available in the next card game expansion called Threat of the Conqueror.

Commando Bunker

• Base Maintenance: 26 cr/hr
• Base Storage Capacity:  250 items
• Footprint Size: 8x7
• Lots Required: 2

Vehicle Garage

• Base Maintenance: 26 cr/hr
• Base Storage Capacity:  350 items
• Footprint Size: 8x7
• Lots Required:  3

V.I.P. Bunker

• Base Maintenance:  26 cr/hr
• Base Storage Capacity:  250 items
• Footprint Size: 8x8
• Lots Required:  2

Doing research, the largest footprint to be built in Solaria under ordinary circumstances is 5x5.  If one of you end up with one of these as loot, I'll help you best I can with placing it as close to the border as possible to help the city look bigger (and make the distance from the shuttle shorter).
