Ponge Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 Hello. I cant win the swoop race on tatooine. I talked to Nico in the swoop registration about swoop bike upgrade in the czerka office. In the office the merchant wont sell me upgrade. How can I upgrade my swoop bike? Or how can I win the race? (Iwon easily on Taris). THX for your help.

txa1265 Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 You *cannot* upgrade your swoop. And all of the tracks are beatable. There is a FAQ at BioWare to help you hit all of the right spots to minimize your time. Good luck! Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narfblat Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 The races get easier with practice. I used to do really terrible, but I managed to beat the times by a good margin. By the way, the racing bonds you get are worth more to the Rodian on Yavin. He gives about 130 credits each, while most merchants give you 60 credits.

Just about *everything* is worth considerably more to the Rodian on Yavin. I recommend not selling anything to anyone else if you can help it. It benefits you to visit him a number of times, and you can use the money (esp. if you're light side) to get good stuff for everyone. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pie_man101 Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 If all else fails, use the cheats to restart the game and get your time considerably lower "restartminigame" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taos Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 I think practice runs are available for 20 credits - 5 practice runs for the price of one timed race, seems like a good idea to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UndyingSamurai Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 its sad but true, I looked all over the galaxy for those damned swoop upgrades that everyone mentions but these parts do not exist. If bioware had implemented these parts they could have given the game a lot more depth. Just Imagine tuning your swoop bike like in NFS: Underground.

Goran Posted March 7, 2004 Share Posted March 7, 2004 I think at one point, during early programming, that this was meant to be implimented. But like all good movies and games, something always gets edited out. Truly sad. I think the DEV's felt it whould detract from the main story line to have a more indepth mini racing game in the main storyline. I can't tell you how many times I have played FF7 and saved a spot at the mini games so I could just go back to them and play them whenever I wanted too. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeiamyourdad Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 There's only 2 races(excluding Taris) that you can participate in. There's no real point in buying costly upgrades for it. It's different with Pazaak, where you really have a lot of people playing against you on every planet. And of course the gunning station, well, if you don't play, you die.

Darth333 Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 There are no swoop bike upgrades. However, if you can't beat the three tiers or if you're playing Kotor for the 10th time or so and don't want to put time on swoop racing, you could check this simple mod which aligns all the boost pads in straight line. You don't have to steer: just change gears when its time. You'll automaticallly become the most famous swoop racer in the Galaxy. Note: don't expect any challenge.
