Publish 11.5

Tis the season and with the last publish of this year we bring you Wookiee Life day, a new gunship, the ability to register with buildings for battle fatigue healing and the ability to save sorted items in your datapad for your next gaming session.

Main Features

Wookiee Life Day

• Wookiees and other sentient beings are gathering for Life Day celebrations. To learn more about Life Day head to Vreni Island, the Lake Retreat or Anchorhead and speak to the Wookiee in red.

UI

• If you sort datapad items and the inventory in the detail view, the sort state will now be remembered the next time you log in.

Profession Entertainer

• Dancers and Musicians can now register with certain buildings that allow battle fatigue healing, including NPC and player cantinas, NPC and player theaters, and NPC hotels, via the /registerWithLocation command

Profession Pilots

• Added the M22-T "Krayt" Gunship as a neutral master-box gunship. This ship is equipped with a player controlled turret, like the Y-wing and TIE Aggressor.

Along with those major features we also have the following changes and fixes:

Profession Pilots

• Privateer droid commands - The ship component detail page now displays the ship's capacitor's current level, maximum level, and recharge rate. It will also correctly reflect capacitor related droid command results that modify these values.
  
• DroidProgrammingUI: Fixed an issue causing load/unload options to be enabled when no item is selected
  
• DroidProgrammingUI: Fixed some update issues
  
• Fixed a bug where the crosshairs would not be rendered when the target was out of range. This mostly applied to targeting capital ships and space stations.
  
• Fixed a bug that allowed RSF pilots to attack Imperial NPCs
  
• Removed unusable "Use" radial menu option on probe droids.
  
• Added the M22-T "Krayt" Gunship as a neutral master-box gunship. This ship is equipped with a player controlled turret, like the Y-wing and TIE Aggressor
  
• Naboo Privateer: Adjusted the flight path for targets in Captain Kaydine's first and third mission so they are easier to catch.
  
• Naboo Privateer: Captain Kaydine now provides better direction for locating the Ay'Nat ghost fighters for his second mission.

Profession Entertainer

• Dancers and Musicians can now register with certain buildings that allow battle fatigue healing, including NPC and player cantinas, NPC and player theaters, and NPC hotels, via the /registerWithLocation command
  
• Logging out removes registered performers properly

Profession Merchant

• The vendor maintenance cycle will no longer halt when the vendor is out of maintenance.

Profession Chef

• Blue milk and other mind healing foods will now heal you instead of causing damage when you have mind wounds.

Armor

• Ithorian Guardian armor will now properly have the same special protections and stats as Chitin. This will impact new pieces of Ithorian Guardian armor only. Note: The old pieces had two special protections (blast & kinetic) this was wrong. They were meant to have only one (kinetic). In addition, the armor's effectivenesses was wrong. They were "energy/cold/electricity" they are now "energy/blast/acid." The intention is to make this armor an Ithorian version of Chitin.

UI

• If you sort datapad items and the inventory in the detail view, the sort state will now be remembered the next time you log in.
  
• Fixed a bug where a running player would open a UI (such as the planet map) and then close out the UI only to stuck in a running state.

Crafting

• Using /harvestCreature to harvest a creature resource that doesn't exist (like bones from a Piket) will no longer cause you to be unable to harvest a legitimate resource from that creature. You will also get a message saying the creature doesn't have the resource you wanted to harvest.
  
• Decreased duration of vehicle customization kits

Group

• Added the number of credits you receive for completing a mission if you are not in a group to display as a system message.

Travel

• Fixed an exploit where vehicles could be generated with 40k max HAM

Misc

• The Gorax may make an appearance on Endor.
  
• Race droids now reset record times once every 24 hours to allow everyone a more equitable chance to earn racing badges.

Great patch, but will the Gorax be a regular creature on Endor now? Regular meaning like once a week or so we'll find one from now on? Or will 50 of them appear at 0,0 when too many jedi are leveling up there?

Also, when will we get new race tracks?

Nice Stuff

autopull on crates for smuggler clamps and upgrade kits? (its tradition to bring this up by now )

Huh?! Decreased? Wasn't this just increased (I believe to 200) because it was too short and no one was using them a few publishes back? How much was it decreased by, what is the number of calls it is good for?

Apparently too many players were having fun with these, so they nerfed them

And yep, no Wookiees, either at the starting locations or the end locations. What gives? And HOW could you possibly screw THIS part up? lol
