<strong>Publish 12 </strong><br> <br> <strong>Avatar </strong></p> 

<p>&#149;&nbsp; Improved avatar sitting in chair and after 5 minutes 

sliding forward and being left floating in the air </p> 

<p><strong>Bazaar/Vendor </strong></p> <p>&#149;&nbsp; Fixed problem 

with item getting deleted after retrieving item from vendor </p> 

<p><strong>Client Stability </strong></p> <p>&#149;&nbsp; Chat saving 

protocols have been optimized on the client. (For those that are 

curious, we throttled excessive disk io in the UI saving code and 

limited the amount of back scroll text that is saved to the uis. This 

should help out with client lag and make larger uis files considerably 

smaller.) </p> <p>&#149;&nbsp; Fixed a Crash To Desktop when using the 

/ttell command without having an active target. </p> <p>&#149;&nbsp; 

Fixed a Crash-to-Desktop when using the &quot;Disconnect&quot; button 

in-game. </p> <p><strong>Crafting </strong></p> <p>&#149;&nbsp; 

Berserker Rifle Stabilization components now drop with serial numbers. 

</p> <p>&#149;&nbsp; Existing Berserker Rifle Stabilization components 

should now have serial numbers as well. </p> <p>&#149;&nbsp; Hide and 

Organic symbols have been changed. </p> <p><strong>Events </strong></p> 

<p>&#149;&nbsp; Wookiee Life Day has been disabled for US and European 

servers </p> <p><strong>GCW </strong></p> <p>&#149;&nbsp; Faction 

backpacks are no longer auto-unequipped </p> <p><strong>Inventory 

</strong></p> <p>&#149;&nbsp; Added checkboxes to force sorting the 

player's datapad and inventory contents. When run the first time, these 

values should default to &quot;on&quot;. The toggles are located under 

the options/interface UI. Turning them off will give the behavior that 

occurred before the auto-sorting feature was introduced. </p> 

<p>&#149;&nbsp; Fixed problem with items looted from a corpse 

disappearing after crossing server boundary </p> <p>&#149;&nbsp; Fixed 

a problem with items disappearing after picking items up from a house 

and crossing server boundary </p> <p>&#149;&nbsp; Faction backpacks 

should no longer disappear when traveling or logging out. Faction 

backpacks will no longer be auto-unequipped. Note: other faction items 

may auto-unequip and can sometimes overload your inventory. If this 

happens, you will not be able to move. You will need to move items out 

of your inventory into an equipped backpack, bank, house, get help from 

a friend, etc., or delete items as needed until the inventory count is 

within limits. </p> <p><strong>Loot </strong></p> <p>&#149;&nbsp; 

&quot;Recyclers&quot; have been added to the game. There are 5 types of 

recyclers: Flora, Creature, Metal, Chemical and Ore. </p> 

<p><strong>Space Missions </strong></p> <p>&#149;&nbsp; Star Destroyer 

now drops 10-20k credits in deep space </p> <p>&#149;&nbsp; Rebel space 

station now drops 10-20k credits in deep space </p> <p>&#149;&nbsp; The 

prison ship in the rebel tier 4 recovery duty &quot;Rescue prisoners 

from the Empire&quot; will no longer exit the Dathomir region early. 

</p> <p><strong>Space UI </strong></p> <p>&#149;&nbsp; Added light gray 

directional indicators that display a gunner's target to the pilot of a 

ship with turrets. In a multi-passenger ship when a player mans a 

turret, when the gunner cycles through targets, the pilot should see a 

light gray arrow that indicates the direction of the gunner's target. 

Please note that this should only appear when the target is off screen 

(similar to the standard target arrow) and that if the gunner and the 

pilot have the same thing targeted, then the target will only be 

indicated by the player's blue arrow. </p> <p><strong>Tutorial / New 

User Experience </strong></p> <p>&#149;&nbsp; The tutorial voice over 

will play once again. </p> <br> <HR> <p> <strong>January 25th, 2005 

</strong><strong><br> </strong><strong>Publish 12.1 </strong></p> <p>On 

behalf of the entire Dev team we would like to extend a big thank you 

to everyone that helped out on Test Center this weekend and to our Test 

Center community for being patient with the frogs and visiting guests.

<p>&#149;&nbsp; All maintenance fees will automatically attempt to 

deduct from Bank accounts after the maintenance pool has been depleted. 

Once a structure reaches 0 hitpoints, it will flag itself as condemned 

instead of deleting itself. Condemned houses are not enterable, and all 

other structures are not usable. To uncondemn a house, simply enter it 

with enough money in the bank to pay the repair cost. To uncondemn all 

other structures, use them with enough money in the bank to pay the 

costs. </p> <p><strong>Politician </strong></p> <p>&#149;&nbsp; 

Politician skill boxes will no longer require skill points to train.

100% and increase charge rate </p> <p>&#149;&nbsp; Fixed engine 

slow-down in first-person camera mode. </p> <p><strong>Space

Inventory has been increased to now hold 80 items </p> 

<p><strong>Structures </strong></p> <p>&#149;&nbsp; All Housing item

store 100 items for a Naboo small house, and 200 for the the other 

small and medium houses. Large houses and Guild Halls can now store 400 

items each instead of being limited to 250 items each </p>

<strong>In order to get the lot limits redeemed please put maintenance 

into the house and it will credit you the remaining lots. </strong></p>

for no apparent reason, even though the factory has sufficient 

maintenance, power, ingredients, and the output hopper is not full. 

</p> <p>&#149;&nbsp; Fixed a problem that can cause items dropped into 

a structure to disappear after you leave the structure and re-enter the 

structure later. </p> <p>&#149;&nbsp; Fixed when you are too far from a 

structure to /name, /paymaint you get a message &quot;You are too far 

from the terminal to purchase a ticket.&quot; </p> <p>&#149;&nbsp; 

Factory owners are now notified with an appropriate message via system 

message and mail when the factory stops making items because the output 

hopper is full. </p> <p><strong>Profession Smuggler </strong></p> 

<p>&#149;&nbsp; Smugglers no longer have an artificial faction point 

cap when buying faction points. The cap is their actual point cap. 

Signing up with the faction will make a larger bribery option 

available, and rising in ranks will increase the cap as per normal 

factional progression. </p> <p><strong>Profession Combat Medic, Doctors 

and Medics </strong></p> <p>&#149;&nbsp; The total amount of time delay

a max distance of 90 meters. </p> <p>&#149;&nbsp; An option to display 

faction rank has been added to the Community - Character UI page. When 

enabled, the faction rank will be displayed above your character (just 

below the character name). </p> <p>&#149;&nbsp; An option was added to 

turn off game object arrows on the radar </p> <p>&#149;&nbsp; An option 

was added to turn off friendly NPCs from the radar to make the radar 

cleaner and allow you to more easily see your Avatar. </p> 

<p>&#149;&nbsp; All skills with three line names now appear correctly 

in skills window </p> <p>&#149;&nbsp; Radial Menus on installations 

(factories and harvesters) will be accessible up to approximately 20m 

from the outer edge of the installation. </p> <p>&#149;&nbsp; 

<strong>Sneak Peak: </strong> We have developed two new interfaces that 

we think are easier to use. New Star Wars Galaxies TEST and New MMORPG 

(EQ2 syle) TEST operate without using the Alt key. We have a sneak peak 

of these interfaces that are still under construction in this release. 

Remember these are marked TEST because they are still being refined and 

subject to change. </p> <p><strong>Spawn </strong></p> <p>&#149;&nbsp; 

Increased spawn for krayt dragons again </p> <p>&#149;&nbsp; We have 

added some new static spawns to Tatooine, Talus and Rori. Static means 

the spawn is not spawned by players or missions and the spawn area will 

respawn on it's own. Get that hunting gear on and head out to find the 

new groups of NPCs that roam the galaxies. </p> <p><strong>Profession 

Artisan </strong></p> <p>&#149;&nbsp; Fixed the over brightening of the 

surveying effect </p> <p><strong>Space </strong></p> <p>&#149;&nbsp; 

The yacht, the yt1300, the Decimator, and the Nova Courier should no 

longer take up a lot space. Added 20 new space missions in the Dathomir 

and Rori space zones. </p> <p>&#149;&nbsp; Dathomir Station </p> 

<p>&#149;&nbsp; New destroy and escort missions for Imperial pilots

</strong></p> <p>&#149;&nbsp; Wounded players can no longer migrate 

stats that would result in a sum total of 0 or less due to wounds 

causing permanent incapacitation </p> <p><strong>Server Stability 

</strong></p> <p>&#149;&nbsp; Improved client stability </p> 

<p>&#149;&nbsp; Fixed a problem players were experiencing with a 

rubberbanding effect. </p> <p>&#149;&nbsp; Streamlined the terrain 

system to improve client performance </p> <p><strong>Chat </strong></p> 

<p>&#149;&nbsp; Added a &quot;CNTRL + R&quot; command for replying to 

&quot;/tells&quot;. Reply currently has the issue of replying to the 

last person that sent you a message. So, if you /reply to someone and 

you receive a message in the middle of the response, your private 

message is sent to another player. This is now fixed by changing 

CNTRL+R to send a &quot;tell&quot; the player who sent you the last 

message at the time you hit CNTRL+R. </p> <p><strong>Japanese 

Localizations </strong></p> <p>&#149;&nbsp; /log will now save Japanese 

chat correctly </p> <p>&#149;&nbsp; Chat messages can be in Japanese in 

macros! </p> <p>&#149;&nbsp; IME candidate window now appears relative 

to the text being typed </p> <p><strong>Veteran Rewards </strong></p>

below: </p> <p><strong>Galactic Civil War (GCW) and Temporary Enemy 

Flags (TEF) </strong></p> <p>The Galactic Civil War (GCW) will be 

heating up as players fight for control of the planets. The system is 

broken into two major components. The introduction of an improved 

flagging system for factionally aligned players (redesign of "Temporary 

Enemy Flags" - TEFs: they no longer make players vulnerable to PVP 

without declaring faction) and the introduction of a GCW tracking 

system that allows players to battle over planets and win control of 

cities for their faction. </p> <p><strong>Group Friendly Looting 

</strong></p> <p>Group Looting in Star Wars is a variety of methods for 

how players in Star Wars Galaxies can distribute loot.&nbsp;&nbsp; 

These systems will allow the group leader to determine what type of 

looting system his group will use.</p> <p><strong>Player Event Perks 

</strong></p> <p>Every week there are a many player-run events held 

across the galaxy. These events can be anything from PvP tourneys and 

role-playing events to murder mysteries or dance parties. To help 

players more easily run these events, the Event Team has been working 

on some special tools and perks.&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Force Sensitive 

</strong></p> <ul> <li>The Phase 4 version of Captain Sarguillo in the

Stability <li>Fixes for crashing to desktop <li>Optimizations to water 

code to improve client performance.&nbsp; Water detail control 

currently does nothing. </li> </ul> <p><strong>Veteran Rewards 

</strong></p> <ul> <li>If you have triggered more than one veteran 

reward at the same time, the announcement will remind you that you need 

to claim the first reward before the second will be offered.&nbsp; 

<li>The command /claimVeteranReward will now bring up the choices for 

the new veteran rewards, in addition to the Sorosuub. This will also 

fix an issue where players choose the option to be reminded in a week 

for rewards and they change their mind but have to wait out the week, 

now players can type /claimVeteranReward to reinitiate the process. 

<li>Anti Decay Kits will now reset the item it is being used on to 

maximum hitpoints.&nbsp; Items that have already had Anti Decay applied 

will also be reset to maximum hitpoints. </li> </ul> <p><strong>Combat

default, clicking quickly in the scene will deselect the current 

target. </li> </ul> <li>Using commands targeted by name now works for 

targets on vehicles and mounts.&nbsp; <li>The UI hud effectors will no 

longer override opacity. UI elements will appear at 100% opacity

Expect to see higher yields from your shellfish harvesting! 

<li>Searching a creature lair will have a higher chance of finding eggs 

as well as a lower chance of finding nothing or finding a jar of 

bugs.&nbsp; You might also want to try searching the lair again; there 

might be a chance you missed something! <li>Increased the amount of 

resources spawned, so that rare resources will be slightly more common. 

</li> </ul> <p><strong>Structures </strong></p> <ul> <li>Fixed the lack 

of an "hour" suffix in the residency renewal statement <li>Fixed

<HR> <p><strong>Publish 14.0 </strong><strong><br> 

</strong><strong>March 9, 2005 </strong></p> <p>In this publish we 

bring to you tweaks and fixes&nbsp;for the GCW, some more UI loving and 

a new story Arc! Read on for more details. </p> <p><strong>Quests 

</strong></p> <p>Today begins the first part of a new epic quest series 

called &quot;Secrets of the Syren&quot;! Who is the pilot that everyone 

is searching for? What was the dangerous cargo he was carrying that 

both Imperials and Rebels want so desperately? Rebels should report 

immediately to the Tyrena Cantina, Imperials to the Bestine Cantina and 

Neutrals to the Theed Cantina! </p> <p><strong>GCW </strong></p> 

<p>&#149;&nbsp; Increased the difficulty of higher level faction base 

spawns. (Now that the rebel and imperial faction bases spawned entity 

difficulty and numbers have recently been brought into balance with 

each other, the difficulty of the spawns at bases higher than the 

forward operating bases are being increased) </p> <p>&#149;&nbsp; PvE 

(non SF) faction bases can no longer have control terminal menu options 

for resetting their vulnerability timer (which shouldn't have been 

there anyhow, since PvE bases are always supposed to be vulnerable), 

nor can you shut them down to abort a self-destruct countdown, once 

started (which better fits the non-PvP nature of these bases). </p> 

<p>&#149;&nbsp; Added hacked terminal and base destruction alarms to 

factional bases </p> <p>&#149;&nbsp; Added exterior reinforcement 

spawner to hacked factional bases </p> <p>&#149;&nbsp; Decreased point 

cost of faction turrets </p> <p>&#149;&nbsp; Decreased point cost of 

the factional forward operating bases </p> <p>&#149;&nbsp; Factional 

base deeds should now indicate what faction they are for by their name. 

</p> <p>&#149;&nbsp; Increased GCW point value of factional bases for 

all bases higher than Forward Operating Base </p> <p>&#149;&nbsp; 

Slightly increased cost of Tactical Center to bring it in line with the 

increased toughness of its spawns </p> <p>&#149;&nbsp; Fixed an issue 

where Imperial guards were spawning and entering Moenian cantinas </p> 

<p>&#149;&nbsp; Fixed rank display in recruiter conversations </p> 

<p>&#149;&nbsp; News terminals will now always open the news headlines 

when you double click on them </p> <p>&#149;&nbsp; Fixed several bad 

faction base objective-terminal spawn locations and orientations </p> 

<p>&#149;&nbsp; Fixed terminals only working if you were special forces 

</p> <p>&#149;&nbsp; Added roving security personnel to hacked 

factional bases </p> <p>&#149;&nbsp; Fixed a bug where objects could 

block players from entering factional bases </p> <p>&#149;&nbsp; 

Changed how GCW faction perk costs are changed based on GCW status. 

There was a bug that caused items to get cheaper as you started to 

lose. This was incorrect and backwards. If you are losing, items get 

more expensive on that planet. </p> <p><strong>AI </strong></p> 

<p>&#149;&nbsp; Fixed a bug where AI would warp when moving towards a 

destination (such as fleeing, etc.) </p> <p><strong>UI </strong></p> 

<p>&#149;&nbsp; There are 4 new key bindings that are not mapped to any 

key-binding at this time.&nbsp; When bound, they should filter out 

friends and enemies in a previous next manner&nbsp; </p> 

<p>&#149;&nbsp; Player movement should now feel &quot;snappier&quot; 

(run, walk and turn rates have been accelerated) </p> <p>&#149;&nbsp; 

Hovering over a blip on the radar will display tooltip information 

about the blip. </p> <p>&#149;&nbsp; Fixed an issue where the buff 

window would reset when a player logged out or relogged. </p> 

<p>&#149;&nbsp; Planetmap should honor the show all cities flag. </p> 

<p>&#149;&nbsp; Fixed an issue where players could not run through 

streetlamps </p> <p>&#149;&nbsp; If the quest journal is open when a 

task or quest completes, it will now update correctly. </p> 

<p>&#149;&nbsp; Duplicate journal entries will only be displayed once. 

(e.g. Darn Droid listed a speak task 3 times before). </p> 

<p>&#149;&nbsp; Destroy, loot, and timer tasks will have a progress 

counter in the journal. (e.g.. &quot;Killed: 2/10&quot; will show in 

the journal description for a kill 10 worrts task). </p> 

<p>&#149;&nbsp; Tooltips on the radar will now display instantly <br> 

The waypoint window in the datapad window will no longer overlap the 

checkboxes in the detail view </p> <p>&#149;&nbsp; Radar opacity should 

ignore UI opacity setting </p> <p>&#149;&nbsp; Improved double click 

options: </p> <p>&#149;&nbsp; Double-clicking on NPCs will display the 

appropriate messages and perform the proper actions. </p> 

<p>&#149;&nbsp; Double-clicking an incapacitated player will death-blow 

them.&nbsp; </p> <p>&#149;&nbsp; Double-clicking on your mount will 

mount or dismount you. </p> <p>&#149;&nbsp; Double-clicking on a 

crafting station will start a crafting session with a compatible 

crafting tool in your inventory </p> <p><strong>Loot </strong></p> 

<p>&#149;&nbsp; Giant Canyon and Krayt Ancient Dragons should drop 

pearls at their normal drop rate </p> <p>&#149;&nbsp; Nightsisters 

should drop crystals at their normal drop rate </p> <p>&#149;&nbsp; 

Fixed a problem with all high-end loot drop rates </p> <p>&#149;&nbsp; 

Fixed an issue that no longer allows dead players to loot factional 

pets and dead players </p> <p><strong>Player Cities </strong></p> 

<p>&#149;&nbsp; Fixed a problem where some Mayors cannot send ingame 

emails to citizens </p> <p><strong>Player Event Perks </strong></p> 

<p>&#149;&nbsp; Changed faction perk gating to fix coverts not being 

able to wear armor </p> <p><strong>Vet Rewards </strong></p> 

<p>&#149;&nbsp; Anti Decay Kits that were placed inside house 

containers such as a bookcase or armoire will now have a 

&quot;Pickup&quot; radial menu option. </p> <p><strong>Misc. 

</strong></p> <p>&#149;&nbsp; Fixed an issue where players would 

experience a crash to desktop in /alarmsnooze if no alarms were 

previously set </p> <p>&#149;&nbsp; Japanese Localization Fixes </p> 

<p>&#149;&nbsp; Fixed some issues that would cause players to crash to

</strong><strong>Server Stability Enhancements </strong></p> <hr> 

<p><strong>Publish 14.1 </strong><strong><br> </strong><strong>March 

24, 2005 </strong></p> <p><strong>Galaxy-wide Vendor Search is here! 

</strong></p> <p>Have you ever wanted to search for an item to buy 

without having to travel across the entire planet randomly checking 

vendors? Well now you can!&nbsp; We have enhanced the functionality of 

our bazaar terminals to include the ability to search all player 

vendors for items you may be looking for. This new feature will greatly 

improve how vendors are handled in the game. Read on for more 

information. </p> <p><strong>Overview </strong><br> The purpose of 

vendor search function is to allow vendor owned items to be searched 

from anywhere in the galaxy.&nbsp; This will include the following 

functions: </p> <p>&#149;&nbsp; Each vendor owner can decide whether to 

allow his or her vendors to be searchable in the market.&nbsp; There is 

an option for vendor owners to turn on/off the search option on his or 

her vendor.&nbsp; The vendor owner will be able to find current search 

option settings for each of his or her vendor(s) </p> <p>&#149;&nbsp; 

When a vendor owner turns on the search option, a player should be able 

to go to any bazaar and list all items owned by this vendor </p> 

<p>&#149;&nbsp; When a vendor owner turns off the search option, the 

vendor is no longer listed in the galaxy-wide network search. With this 

search option turned off, vendor owners have the ability to conduct 

private auctions. Players will need to physically go to the vendor and 

click &quot;Use Vendor&quot; to list items from this vendor. </p> 

<p><strong>Vendor Status </strong><br> For all the existing vendors, 

the default option is set to no.&nbsp; Players have to go to their 

vendors and enable this search option.&nbsp; For all future vendors, 

this option is set to yes by default. For vendor owners to check if the 

search option is on or off do the following: </p> <p>&#149;&nbsp; 

Select the Vendor you wish to turn search on/off for </p> 

<p>&#149;&nbsp; From the radial menu choose &quot;Vendor Control&quot; 

<br> Once you have selected &quot;Vendor Control&quot; then choose 

&quot;Status&quot; </p> <p>&#149;&nbsp; A pop-up window will show if 

the search option is on or off </p> <p><strong>PA Hall Leadership 

Succession </strong></p> <p><strong>Overview </strong><br> In the 

current live environment, a PA does not automatically handle the case 

where a PA leader has retired from the game. This condition results in 

leaderless PAs, often with active members who wish to continue to run 

the guild. In order to resolve this system, we will implement an 

automated PA succession system. <br> &nbsp; <br> <strong>Allegiance 

</strong><br> The existing &quot;Allegiance&quot; system interface will 

be removed. Instead, guild leaders will be able to turn on voting at 

any time. Every two weeks, the votes will be tallied and a new guild 

leader selected. This is to allow guilds the option of a democratic 

process. Not all guilds will want to enable this option. Guild leader 

voting will default to off. </p> <p><strong>PA Hall Leadership 

Succession </strong><br> There are now two methods for PA Hall 

Leadership Succession: direct leadership transfer and leader elections 

as explained below. </p> <p><strong>Direct Transfer </strong><br> 

Direct leadership transfer is executed by the current PA leader at the 

PA management terminal. The leader would select the &quot;Transfer PA 

Leadership&quot; option at the terminal. They are then prompted to 

enter the name of the person who will receive leadership. This person 

must be online and be standing near the terminal. The person who will 

receive leadership must also have enough lots free to take ownership of 

the PA hall. If they satisfy the requirements, the PA leadership and 

the PA hall ownership will be transferred to them. If they do not 

satisfy the requirements, the existing leader will receive a message as 

to why the change could not be made. Trial accounts are not eligible 

for leadership or PA hall ownership. </p> <p><strong>Elections 

</strong><br> During the regular weekly PA maintenance, the system will 

examine the last login time of the PA leader. If they have not logged 

in for one month, the system will send an email warning to the PA 

members. The warning will explain that the leader has not been active 

and that a voting process for a new leader has been opened. </p> <p>The 

voting process will use the same interface as player city voting. Three 

options will become available on the guild management terminal during 

voting: </p> <p>&#149;&nbsp; Register / Unregister - Any full PA member 

may run for election. They would select this option to add themselves 

to the ballot. Only members on the ballot are eligible for election. 

Any guild member in normal standing can register to run. Sponsored 

applicants will not be eligible to run.&nbsp; </p> <p>&#149;&nbsp; Cast 

Vote - This option allows a member to select who they wish to vote for. 

They may also choose to abstain. A member may change their vote at any 

time&nbsp; </p> <p>&#149;&nbsp; View Standings - allows the player to 

look at who is currently registered and how many votes they have 

received. </p> <p>Exactly two weeks after the election is started, the 

votes will be tallied. The individual with the most votes will become 

leader of the PA. </p> <p>In many cases, the owner of a PA hall and the 

PA leader will be different characters. In order to prevent a PA from 

losing a PA hall due to the absence of the hall owner, PA leaders now 

have a limited ability to claim PA halls they do not own. A new guild 

terminal option &quot;Accept PA Hall&quot; will appear (for guild 

leader) if the hall owner has not logged in for 28 days. Once the guild 

leader owns the hall, the structure may be transferred to another 

player using the /transferStructure command. </p> <p><strong>Profession 

Dancer </strong></p> <p>&#149;&nbsp; Added new dance (Tumble) to 

Dancing Knowledge I </p> <p>&#149;&nbsp; Added new dance (Tumble2) to 

Dancing Knowledge II </p> <p>&#149;&nbsp; Added new dance (Breakdance) 

to Dancing Knowledge III </p> <p>&#149;&nbsp; Added new dance 

(Breakdance2) to Dancing Knowledge IV </p> <p>&#149;&nbsp; Removed the 

15sec delay between stopping one song or dance and starting a new song 

or dance. </p> <p>&#149;&nbsp; Removed chance of making a mistake while 

dancing. </p> <p><strong>Profession Musician </strong></p> 

<p>&#149;&nbsp; Added new song (Starwars4) to Novice Musician skill 

box. </p> <p>&#149;&nbsp; Added new song (Funk) to Music Knowledge II 

</p> <p>&#149;&nbsp; Removed the 15sec delay between stopping one song 

or dance and starting a new song or dance. </p> <p><strong>Profession - 

Image Designer </strong></p> <p>&#149;&nbsp; Reduced Image Designer 

skill point costs by 16 by reducing each skill box between Novice Image 

Designer and Master Image Designer by one point. </p> <p>&#149;&nbsp; 

Removed Image Designer action timers for Body and Cosmetic changes </p> 

<p><strong>Quests </strong></p> <p>&#149;&nbsp; Quests with timers now 

display the timer in the quest journal.&nbsp; </p> <p>&#149;&nbsp; 

Quest News, our quest reporters have been digging around and were able 

to bring you the following quest news stories: </p> <p>&#149;&nbsp; 

<strong>Story Arc: </strong><strong>Secrets of the Syren, Chapter two; 

More Than You Bargained For </strong>&nbsp; </p> <p>&#149;&nbsp; 

Breaking News: Information has been received regarding the missing 

freighter pilot from Naboo. While this information has not been made 

public, a Rebel Officer in Tyrena as well as an Imperial Officer in 

Bestine and a private citizen in Theed have all been seen in talks with 

the various parties involved in the search. This raises the question of 

the seriousness of this situation. Parties involved in the initial 

search for this pilot are encouraged to talk to their initial contact. 

</p> <p>&#149;&nbsp; <strong>Quest: Enough! </strong></p> 

<p>&#149;&nbsp; From the journal of a holonews reporter: Looks like the 

fighting was rather rough in Corellia space today.&nbsp; I had the 

opportunity to actually see some of the fighting.&nbsp; I could kick 

myself for not bringing my holo-recorder! It appeared to end in a draw, 

but of course I can't actually report that!&nbsp; Interestingly, two 

ships crashed: one on Talus and the other on Corellia.&nbsp; Sources 

tell me that an Imperial officer named Ceth Laike at the Imperial 

Outpost in Talus is looking for the pilot of one of these ships. A 

Rebel named Acun Solari in Tyrena is looking for the other.&nbsp; I 

hope they didn't land in bad spots.&nbsp; Sometimes the local gangs 

salvage parts off of downed ships </p> <p>&#149;&nbsp; <strong>Quest: 

Imperial Defector </strong></p> <p>&#149;&nbsp; ### $!&nbsp;&nbsp; 

Encrypted transmission from Jom Irimore, Rebel Alliance cell member in 

Tyrena to Teslo Ten'doora at the base.&nbsp; Sir, I have a new 

contact.&nbsp; Another member of the Imperial Military (a high-ranking 

one, I might add) is going to supply us with information.&nbsp; I'll 

send someone to bring him to you as soon as possible.&nbsp; I trust in 

this officer's defection.&nbsp; Apparently, his entire family was on 

Alderaan. End transmission ^#)%)()(@!#^### </p> <p>&#149;&nbsp; 

<strong>Quest: Rebel Informant </strong><br> <strong>Memo </strong><br> 

To: Lt. Allard Lissara <br> From:&nbsp; Jaek Vercet, Imperial 

Representative to Moenia <br> <br> You were correct, sir.&nbsp; Those 

rebels are starting to cave.&nbsp; One of them came to me, telling me 

about a rift in the Alliance's leadership.&nbsp; He's willing to give 

us information if we offer him immunity for his treason.&nbsp; I leave 

that decision to you.&nbsp; I'm laying low in one of the buildings in 

town and will need to send someone to bring the Rebel to you. </p> 

<p><strong>Jedi </strong></p> <p>&#149;&nbsp; Fixed an issue where Jedi 

are able to heal other Jedi in incorrect cases </p> <p><strong>Player 

Event Perks </strong></p> <p>&#149;&nbsp; A number of new venues and 

decorations have been added to the player event promoter NPC </p> 

<p>&#149;&nbsp; Player event decorations can now be rotated. You can 

now use a radial menu on Rental Deeds for Player Event Perks to check 

how much time they have before they expire. Many Player Event Perks can 

now be redeeded. By using the radial menu, the owner of a Player Event 

Perk may check how long the perk has before it expires. </p> 

<p><strong>UI </strong></p> <p>&#149;&nbsp; Text changes made to the 

Popup help </p> <p>&#149;&nbsp; Fixed a problem with the camera

Wars Galaxies </p> <p>&#149;&nbsp; It is no longer possible to 

configure the UI to use modal chat while in one of the new modeless 

user interfaces. </p> <p>&#149;&nbsp; You can now turn with the 

keyboard while holding down left mouse button while using the default 

keymap </p> <p>&#149;&nbsp; Several optimizations to client terrain and 

flora rendering which should show increased frame-rate, especially 

during movement. Some players may find they can increase terrain detail 

and/or flora distances and still get good frame rate </p>
