Good grief. No wonder this world is so screwed up. Some people aren't happy with anything.

So when the patch comes out a week after ur date can we flame you? ANd will there still be a monthly updaate fore Feb opps pushed back to march... You devs seem to not be able to handle ur work load ask for more people to help.. its ok to ask for help and not try to do everything ur self..

And about imps pulling rank.. u guys have no idea how the military works do you.. DO you thinkg all military police are generals? no they are n00bs but they know the rules as well as everyone else does and its their job to enforce the rules, a general cannot drive onto base crunk without getting in trouble =).. So you dont want to be penalized as a high ranting person.. dont do anything wrong you should know better..

Well, they don't know better, so they need to understand something.

A guard who is intimidated by rank is not a good guard. A general who attempts to pull rank to get past a checkpoint can be reasonably expected to be up to no good.

Which is why the guard is EXPECTED to politely, but firmly, inform the general that he must show his papers to advance.

Otherwise, you could social engineer your way through guards in a hearbeat.

This is the hidden flaw of the clonetroopers. Did you notice how quickly the clone trooper who was knocked off the transport with Padme allowed himself to be ordered around by a total stranger not in his chain of command? The fact that they obey any order given to them without stopping to check and see if it might conflict with a previous order is a vulnerablity that clever rebels will exploit.

I apologize for being negative but wasn't this supposed to be a JANUARY update? Or did I get that all wrong. Now it is mid Feb?

Yes you are.

Some of my pet peeve bugs:
•Armorsmith protection layers were not converted with the CU.
•Ship Details window does not close when you click "Travel" resulting in the message "You have lost the target. Closing interface."

Of course if a Storm Trooper stopped Lord Vader, requiring him to show him everything he is carrying, he would get force choke killed in a second. Storm Troopers are probably expected to know their place. (oh and by the way... the Storm Troopers are clones too)

If you choose to hassle the wrong general in a corrupt government ruled by a Sith you mightget killed on the spot. I don't think the Empire works the same as the U.S. military, and even so... some weapons that would be illegal in the hands of civillians are A-OK to be used in the hands of a ranking officer. The same goes for drugs...

From the manual, under the section explaining the rules of participation in the GCW.

"The Star Wars Galaxies Player-vs-Player combat system (or PVP) allows players to fight one another within the context of the greater Glactic Civil War. PVP combat is not enabled by default; instead, you must actively choose to participate in the PVP system and make yourself vulnerable to attacks by other players."

We were specifically told that we could participate in the GCW, not just play SWG, without having to be forced into PVP.

I am a master smuggler, so I am saying this not because it effects me terribly, but because I dont like being lied to. I quit Ultima Online after nearly 5 years because they made it so you could not participate in large parts of the game, including specifically new fiction, without being forced into PVP. As an adult who loves Stars Wars I came to SWG because I wanted to play in this fiction. But the main difference in the mechanics of the game that convinced me to give up one I had invested so much time in was the abililty to do anything in the game, on my terms. "Be neutral" is not a viable response to people who do not want this change. Going neutral disables a large portion of the game that we paid for, based on the ADVERTISED ability to participate without forced pvp. This is just wrong I believe clearly falls under the category of false adveritsing.

A simple solution to this would be, that as a rebel, if you are scanned and caught with contraband, you simply get a choice. Fight or flight. If you choose fight you get TEF'd and are on your own. If you choose flight you sacrifice all rank, and go on about your business as rebel sympathizer, not willing to fight for the cause yet. This would then allow those of us who are too old too pvp, and listen to all the lovely teenage insults,to continue to enjoy that game until the crackdown is over.
