Bits of interest:
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.
Cool, I hope this works for backpacks in my house.
- 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.
This used to happen to me all the time when checking my email, this is a great fix.
Crafting
- Decreased duration of vehicle customization kits
Why? don't like this one.
Misc
- The Gorax may make an appearance on Endor.
I thought this MOB allways had a chance to spawn? would be nice if this was cleared up.

I thought the same thing. I'm thinking they may do another one of those "mass-spawnings" of the Gorax like they did a few months back. At least that's what I'm hoping

I liked that for driving.

You can use the num lock key to turn on "cruise control". Works for running and vehicles.

I hope so, i've spent countless hours on my ranger character combing all of Endor, and i just cannot find that bugger. he has always spawned, but he is the RAREST spawning thing in SWG. There are some NPCs that spawn once a day, but Gorax appears to be on an even slower respawn rate.

My guild got lucky one night and found the Gorax on Endor, it spawned 6 times in a row before the spawn stopped. We got 16 shards out of it.

Yeah, its a multi-spawn thing. Where I was, there was a gorax every few hundred metres. I went hunting with my guild, between me (MSwords/MWeaponsmith) and a TKM/MSwords, MSwords/MRifles and a TKM/Squad leader, we took down fourteen gorax before we got tired. A total of 47 shards.

Rangers having more luck finding ANY critter is a misconception.
The way spawns work in SWG is like this : if someone triggers(walks close to/on top of) the designated spawn point of the critter, the critter spawns. If no one hastriggered the critter, you could be 100 meters from the spawn point and your ranger wouldn't get it on Area Track because it hasn't been brought "into" the world.
Same goes for any creature. Rangers are handy for finding run of the mill creatures, because not everyone wants to kill everything they come across. But when someone goes to the Krayt Graveyard and finds a dragon, he usually doesn't let it rot there...he calls in the group and they kill it.
That's why, when you do find a krayt on Area Track, it's already being killed. You ever wondered why you'll be looking for a krayt, not finding anything and then you go back on your tracks and find one ? That's because on your first pass, you spawned it, but because of lag or whatever, it didn't "appear" on your radaar/overhead until after you biked away. Then on the second pass, it's there because it's already spawned. It's a good thing to do one pass, then do the exact same route again, so that you didn't leave anything behind

Sound like they have a good drop rate , any good quality ones or were they all base?

Damn, guess this reduces the value of the shards I had been holding on to.
Goraxes were always in the game, it just took some real dedication to find them since they were rare and you have a big area to search. Found one on two seperate occasions in the past3 months or so, they respawned nicely, and their drop rate was about 75%. I must say, I've probably only gone gorax searching about 6 times, so thats about 1/3 of the time that I look that I find one...not terribly bad. Upping the spawn ratereally wasn't necessary and I hope it reverts back to normal soon. The market for gorax weapons will get flooded so fast since these guns aren't top sellers to begin with...

This is really starting to annoy me because I can't turn it off. I loot an item, and it's autosorted even while fighting. Can't keep track of what I just grabbed...is that the DOT VK that I had? Or is it new and that one's in my pack? Oh, look I died.
