I will do my best to consolidate TC update notes & information here. Please respond with all your issues and concerns.

The patch message says

"New Patch Message"


What I noticed:

Vehicle schematics updated, they are in the MA block and take 10x the required resources.

Bikes: 2500 Non-ferrous, 10k ferrous
x34: 4500 non-ferrous, 12k ferrous

December 4th 2003

• Improved client stability
  
• Improved server stability
  
• Waypoints: fix issue where deleting waypoints (via teleporting, aborting missions, etc.) could cause a client crash
  
• Restocking a vendor will place the item for resale for 30 days.
  
• Items will no longer disappear from the vendor after being for sale for 14 days.
  
• Repair cost and redeed cost for structures now only takes into account the base maintenance cost. This means you won't have to pay your city property tax to repair or redeed your structures anymore.
  
• Since housing contents are now loaded on demand, vendors were giving less xp than usual. They now take into account how many updates were missed and will grant a normal load of xp when they are loaded. You should see more normal merchant xp rates.
  
• Added caps to access fee amounts and times.
  
• /citywarn has been removed from the game.
  
• Fixed a couple code strings with 2 craftable parts from the Installation II line of craftables.
  
• Added a driving icon on thu HUD
  
• Improved appearance of water spray on vehicles
  
• Improved appearance of flames on damaged vehicles when driving on ramps
  
• Fixed the red barriers appearing over windows
  
• Multiple different type crafting modules should stack appropriately on droids now
  
• Resolved 2 merchant sign placement issues (tatooine large and naboo large)
  
• Change the names on destroyed vehicles
  
• Increased the distance of the player light when mounted
  
• Fixed some of the colors on vehicles
  
• Fixed placement of merchant signs for generic medium style 2 houses
  
• Player city clone facilities are no longer considered for "respawn closest" only static npc clone facilities. You can still clone at a civic clone facility if you have stored your clone information there.
  
• Cities with center points that have drifted away from the city hall should be corrected now. This drifting will no longer happen.
  

EDIT: eliminated issues not related to crafting or artisan craftable items. Let me know in this thread if I missed something.

Vehicle Speeds on TEST CENTER as of Dec 5th, 2003

These were gathered using a 1 to 2 minute long /waypoint macro. Your speed will vary only slightly because of server fluctuations and your hardware speed.

There is a location on Tatooine I think I can get a good measure of uphill speeds.

Vehicle ham thread: http://forums.station.sony.com/swg/board/message?board.id=TestCenter&message.id=49095

Looks like max ham (at 100% experimentation) is about 2800 for bikes and 3300 for the x34.
