Everybody loves loot! In Star Wars Galaxies however, putting loot in the game is trickier than laying out a level or a dungeon and sticking cool items in there for players to discover and battle for. With SWG being built on a player economy, many kinds of loot can undercut crafters and hurt the virtual economy. Even still, everybody loves loot and we need a different loot solution for SWG. As it turns out, the team has been working towards enhancing the loot system which is now on Test Center. Click here to read more.


Loot
Added new loot schematics, objects, draft schematics

SpaceAI
Tweaks to AI ship combat.

UI
Fixed chat window scroll bar "popping" up from bottom in some cases

Travel
Fixed a problem with /boardShuttle that in some instances would allowed a character to board the shuttle when too far away.

SpaceUI
Made /ttell work when targeting a player ship. -- fixed a typo the command line is /ttell with two t's
The space launch UI will now listen for when a group is joined and disbanded and enable the group button appropiately.
The space group launch UI will now dynamically update it's state to reflect group members if they are too far away to launch with the owner.
Added a declined invitation icon to the group launch UI.
You should now get group join and leave messages while in space.
Added a group management UI for launching into space with multi passenger ships
When you click on a starship terminal you will now see a group button next to launch.
If the player is in a group and is attempting to launch with a multi-passenger ship, then the Group button will be enabled.
Clicking on this button will bring up a small UI that lists all group members that are in the same cell as the player.
The player can choose to send invitations to each of the listed members, if the player agrees, then they will be launched into space in the ship with the other agreeing members.
Conversations: Fix bug causing space conversation UI to show up on the ground
Added checkmarks next to completed quests in the quest journal.

Profession: Pilots
Fixed Rebel Ace Pilot Helmet so that it can be worn by all species except Ithorian and Wookiee.
Fixed Privateer Ace Helmet so that it can now be worn by all species except Ithorians and Wookiees.
Added Black Sun Ace Fighter Helmet to the game. It can be worn by all species except Ithorians and Wookiees. Black Sun Ace Pilots may take some 'convincing' before they relinquish their helmets, so to speak. We recommend shooting them until they explode
Changed how missiles deal with obstacles. Formerly, missiles would almost always seek around obstacles such as asteroids. Now, there is a much greater chance that they will collide with the obstacle
When flying JtL and after using a pilot command, a system message will now tell you when you are ready to execute another pilot command
The ship engine 'run' sound now has variable pitch based on your throttle position
Updated the sound effects for the engines of the tie oppressor & the tie interceptor
Turning on the booster now disengages the autopilot.

The Lok Station will offer missions to non-Imperial and non-RSF pilots.
Imperial and RSF pilots will now be able to get quests from the Naboo space station.
Fixed incorrect message appearing when loading missile ammunition
