I am proud to announce that our Operations team was able to get everything ready a day early and we will be pushing all of the Imperial goodness out to you early Wednesday morning.


Once again, here are the highlights:



*** Major Publish Features ***fficeffice" />



l Imperial Crackdown: Due to the brash arrogance of the Rebel Alliance, the Emperor has decreed that his majesty’s Imperial forces hunt down and destroy the Rebel Alliance and insure that all galactic citizens are abiding by the law. The Empire will be searching for members of the Rebel Alliance andanyone with contraband throughout the galaxy. The Rebel Alliance has gone into hiding, so don’t be surprised if faction recruiters are more difficult to locate.



l Bestine Redesign: Bestine has a few special modifications based on Star Wars history. Imperials will control it and depending on which aide to the governor is in control, different city events will occur. Sand People might raid it, the Imperial presence might increase and players may be able to seek out historians for quests to learn more about the genuine history of Bestine. There is also a Bestine museum event players can get involved with.



l Chef Profession Revamped: The entire chef profession has been redesigned from the ground up. See below for details.



l Vehicle Customization: New tool allows players to 'paint' their vehicles. Master Artisans can craft vehicles and customization kits. Players can use these customizations kits to customize both the body color and striping color of vehicles.



l Theme Park Loot: Revised Theme Park rewards for Imperial, Rebel, and Jabba theme parks. Players who have previously completed (or are currently in) Theme Parks may visit Record Keeper NPC’s to reset their status and gain entry.



l NPC Quest Loot: Tatooine and Dantooine quests, given by NPC’s have all been given better loot as rewards. Record Keeper NPC’s are available for the static quests on Tatooine and Dantooine as well as the Theme Parks.



l New Visual Buff system: A new “buff” system has been put in place to give players an easy-to-use graphic interface to make game play buffing and de-buffing easier to understand.



...and no Factional Combat Decay

I take it the Imperials will still be given 100% immunity to scans, thereby essentially giving them skills that Smugglers had to invest skill points to get, huh?

Glad I'll be at work and my ISP will be down for an upgrade tomorrow! Perfect timing. Hopefully both will be up when I come home.


I want to see some Rebels punished in the Cantina! How about killing some of those AFK dancers? What am I saying...they are all AFK

It says "anyone" with contraband. This would indicate Imps can have their stuff confiscated too.

Thanks for ignoring the concerns of the Smuggler community for the past week.


We really appreciate it. Really, we do.

Would really have appreciated a response to the smuggler community on the immunity of imperials and its consequences before this...
