Structures

• All Housing item limits have been changed. This will mean that small houses can now 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
• Large houses should now take up 5 lots instead of 6.

• Fix problem where a factory will stop producing items for no apparent reason, even though the factory has sufficient maintenance, power, ingredients, and the output hopper is not full.
• Fixed a problem that can cause items dropped into a structure to disappear after you leave the structure and re-enter the structure later.
• Fixed when you are too far from a structure to /name, /paymaint you get a message "You are too far from the terminal to purchase a ticket."
• 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.

Profession Smuggler

• 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.

• All skills with three line names now appear correctly in skills window
• Radial Menus on installations (factories and harvesters) will be accessible up to approximately 20m from the outer edge of the installation.
• Sneak Peak: 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. Click here to read more. Remember these are marked TEST because they are still being refined and subject to change.

Spawn

• Increased spawn for krayt dragons again
• 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 on. Get that hunting gear on and head out to find the new groups of NPCs that roam the galaxies.

Profession Artisan

Space

• The yacht, the yt1300, the Decimator, and the Nova Courier should no longer take up a lot space.

Combat

Server Stability

• Improved client stability
• Fixed a problem players were experiencing with a rubberbanding effect.
• Streamlined the terrain system to improve client performance

Chat

• Added a "CNTRL + R" command for replying to "/tells". 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 "tell" the player who sent you the last message at the time you hit CNTRL+R.

Japanese Localizations

• /log will now save Japanese chat correctly
• Chat messages can be in Japanese in macros!
• IME candidate window now appears relative to the text being typed
