SWG: Rage of the Wookiees Designer Diary #3

GameSpot's third designer diary for Star Wars Galaxies: Rage of the Wookiees is now online, in which producer Dallas Dickinson provides some details about Kashyyyk and its new zones. A snippet:
In order to play the space mining game, players must first visit Kachirho, the central town on Kashyyyk, the wookiee home planet. There they will be able to get their first quest in the space mining series. Successful completion of this quest will give the player a mining laser and a cargo hold for their existing starship--all the tools you need for the basic mining game. The player can then explore the low-level space zones (such as Tatooine, Naboo, and Corellia) and search for suitable asteroids. Complete all of the mining quests, and you'll obtain a tractor beam, better mining lasers, and larger cargo holds.
