Asked for hints about the next Conquest units, CG Meathead said he hears next week is going to be a cool week. He gave no names or specifics, just a general tease that the upcoming Conquest content is worth watching.

CG Meathead said a hotfix was going out and confirmed, when asked what it was for, that it addresses the Silvo infinite revive loop. He later noted the hotfix had gone live and asked whether anyone was having trouble logging in.

Asked directly whether GL Mando is going to be a Galactic Legend, CG Meathead answered yes. He declined to say whether the character will be an attacker, saying he knew the answer but could not share it, and gave no timing for the kit reveal.

Asked whether the Episode pass is worth buying or whether to wait for an LSB, CG Meathead said the Episode pass carries the best value for the money in his opinion. He added that LSBs are great but should not be expected, framing his view from a roughly 20 dollar per month spending perspective.

Asked about reducing time in game given territory battles running alongside other long events, CG Meathead said time in-game is always being considered. He said that with the number of events and modes, scheduling is extremely tight and will never be perfect, but staff are always looking for ways to adjust the current schedule.

Multiple players reported being unable to buy the pass through the in-game store or webstore. CG Meathead said he is aware of the issue and suggested affected players try a different browser as a workaround.

CG Meathead recommends GL Leia as the first Galactic Legend to farm, citing character requirement versus power output. He rates Jabba a solid alternative but says Leia edges him out, and holds to Leia first even when others argue for Jabba or JML.

On the Coliseum issue where your team is not remembered reliably and must be re-selected after era level increases, CG Meathead said he is working to get it pulled up but that it requires a client fix, which is harder to deploy. Players may have to deal with it for a while.

Asked whether the new Empire level 6 datacron is working as intended or a bug, CG Meathead said he believes it has been marked as a bug and that he would go check.

CG Meathead confirmed several requested quality of life items are on his internal list, including officer controls to remove teams from Territory War and hard-block Territory Battle orders, plus the ability to apply multiple filters at once.

CG Meathead said a fix was rolling out and should be resolved within 45 to 60 minutes. He confirmed it was a server-side change with no client update required, and warned that advancing to the next tier during the rollout could land on a server not yet patched.

CG Meathead said a hotfix is likely to land tomorrow to address the Solo Carson datacron issue.

CG Meathead said the second round of Galactic Legend requirements will not be posted this week. Asked separately about a kit reveal, he said there will not be one this week either.

Asked whether the team had decided on a release date for the training arena, CG Meathead said there is no timeline expected. He added that it would likely arrive later in the year.

CG Meathead said the Era Challenge is not meant to be 3 days long, and the team is looking into it.

CG Meathead said the next Galactic Legend requirements are not releasing this week.

CG Meathead confirmed the Cassian event is 7 days long rather than 30. He said this was adjusted on the 28th of last month, and that he was going off what he sees in tickets.

CG Meathead said a Friday game outage was caused by bad servers that got exposed and overloaded when a hotfix deployed and players returned, not by the era level recipe changes. The team spun up new servers to restore stability.

CG Meathead said the team is still investigating problems with the Era refresh calendars and pointed players to an EA forum blog post. He said he would update that post once he has any news.

Asked his thoughts on adding a new Conquest mode built only for fleets, CG Meathead said he would rather see ship content integrated into existing modes than have a separate fleet-only mode.
