Are you new to the game and eager to learn the ropes? Are you a veteran looking for a chance to get some organised play in a lower-sweat environment? Do I have news for you. The SABACC Tournament is returning for its 3rd edition, and registrations are open!

Pilots wanted! SABACC 3 teaser video

What is it?

An accessible and beginner-friendly mini-tournament for Squadrons players of all skill levels, designed to give new players a taste of the competitive Fleet Battles scene, while maintaining a different level of challenge for more experienced players.

The event will consist of BO3 (Best of three matches), 5 vs 5 Fleet Battles. Teams will be assigned semi-randomly (in true Sabacc fashion), while making sure the teams are balanced and every team has a healthy mixture of veterans and newcomers.

Who is it for?

It is mainly targeted at players who can be active around European evening times (roughly 19-21 UTC) ^(1). There is no need for any previous experience in competitive Squadrons; in fact, the primary goal of the tournament is to familiarise newer players with the Fleet Battles format.

This will be a laid-back, low-sweat competitive event, so we’d like to have a healthy mix of new, casual and competitive players!

Where and when is it happening?

The event will be hosted at the Lucky Sabacc Shift (LSS) server (https://discord.gg/DygSchMj). The tournament will start early December, and run until January 25^(th), so that everyone has a chance to participate even if planning to travel over the Christmas season. The default time for the matches will be Euro evenings (roughly 19-21h UTC), although players from all regions are encouraged to register if they expect to have reasonable availability in that timeframe, as scheduling will be flexible.

After teams are sorted, every team will play against every other team (round robin) through the following weeks, scheduled at the convenience of the captains and pilots.

How can I participate?

Pilots must register as individuals, as teams will be formed randomly. Anyone can volunteer to be a team captain, although this is obviously ideal for more experienced players.

• Click the invite link to LSS
• If you are new to the server, complete the Captcha that will be sent to you. If you have any issues, type /verify in the “hk47” channel or contact any of the LSS staff.
• Write your in-game username in the sabacc-registration-office channel. If desired, you can specify if you are willing to cast games and/or act as a team captain.
• Have fun!

^(1)If you are concerned about low availability as a player, we encourage you to register and state this fact in your registration, and we will attempt to sort it out.

Registrations will close sometime in the first week of December. Teams will then be assigned, and the tournament will start! For more information on format and ruleset, visit the sabacc-format-and-rules channel.

For more information or if you have any questions, you can find us in the LSS Discord or check the website

Okay, but does it work!???

Well, we believe it does! Post-tournament surveys have been highly positive, enough to encourage us to host the event for a third time! Many of the newcomers that flew in past SABACC editions are now flying across different competitive Fleet Battles teams, and even one competitive 3PO team (Coin Squadron) was formed among these newer pilots that decided to stick around!

We think this event can be a fun and engaging gateway into the world of SWS Fleet Battles. Whatever your skill level, we’d love to have you around (the more the merrier).

See you in the skies!

Bonus track: Monday Fleet Battles!

Additionally, during the off-season LSS will be converting their weekly Mondays 19h UTC practice into an open Ranked Fleet Battle solo-queuing session, so feel free to join us: either on voice-chat (we typically hang out in the Mumblers voice channel, or split if we want to have cleaner communications for each team) or just hit the queue/join any of our open games!

Here's something for you all to do while we wait for those Brown Rebel Gloves to drop.

Im about to start playing for the first time, and I was wondering, If I play on the hardest difficulty does it unlock the achievements for the easier difficulties as well or will I need multiple play throughs? Just want to do it as efficiently as possible! Thanks :)

So my dad and I just got the game for our Xbox X, and I've got a question about the settings. We love the game, but my dad is having a rough time getting used to controls (his brain is used to the old PC star wars flight games with the joystick). Is there a way to change settings for his profile, and keep other settings for my profile, so we each can play how we want in co-op?

Dogfights and fleet battles, let’s go!

I picked up the game and have been enjoying it so far. I’m going to play through it in single player and am starting with the campaign on pilot difficulty. I reached the first mission where things picked up a bit in difficulty where I needed to down 5 ties along with two larger ships and I’m looking for some beginner tips that can help me stay alive.

They introduced the mechanic of decelerating to half throttle and turning quickly in various directions, but I can’t really get this down. Silly question, but what is “half throttle” in this game? Does this have to do with the “sweet spot” I’ve seen discussed in other posts? I also find myself getting overwhelmed with the concept of rerouting my power. Any good tips for this? Thanks so much.

I played this game a few years back on PlayStation and got it a while back on Steam since I've got my PC, unfortunately, it has never worked for me and won't load. When I launch the game from Steam the anti-cheat launches and then the game promptly closes and gives me no information as to whats stopping the game from launching. I've heard of similar issues happening to other people and I'm curious as to what fixed it for some people. beyond that is there a way to find a log of what easy anti-cheat detected and didn't like so I can at least try getting rid of it. thank you!

I'm currently replaying the Star Wars Squadrons campaign and ran into a glitch where flying into the hangar and then deploying out will cause the screen to be black and stay that way. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Loved the game upon release and played it tons. Just reinstalled last night after finding this /r. Gonna jump on during designated times to hopefully catch some peeps playing. Not interested in joining a discord or crew yet. Hopefully see you out there pilots

Keo tells Frisk that she's got this weird feeling that it MIGHT have been the Imperials that sabotaged the Victorum's hyperdrive!

Every Tuesday we try to start as many open custom games as we can fill around 10 Eastern. Voice chat will be either game chat or the Discord. https://discord.gg/TrqTc5sZ. After an hour or two, we may gather in groups of 5 to do vs. Ai for XP. Hope to see many of you out there!

Hi all, picked up the game on a steam sale and have been really enjoying it. Just got to Level 9 and I’m stuck on that infinite load. I tried some of the suggestions but I guess it’s just not going to work.

Anyway to skip the level and go to 10?

Hello! I've had the game for ages but have recently got really into it. Absolutely love my Imperial pilot and his sturdy TIE Bomber!

I'd really like to level up and customize more, but the grind for Glory and XP is incredibly slow just doing Fleet Battles solo vs. AI.

I see people posting here about hosting custom matches, which is great, but as a newer player I don't get XP or Glory from those.

Is there a good time to queue for Dogfights and/or Ranked Fleet Battles, or is everyone who still plays completely done with all that stuff?

Thanks in advance anyone who replies to this! MTFBWY!
