Star Wars Galaxies Friday Feature

Sony's official Star Wars Galaxies website has been updated with a new Friday Feature, this time sharing player recommendations for customizing the game's interface.
For a starting player, missed communications can be a killer. To make certain you don't ever miss one, Zion Halcyon recommends setting your chat options. In your chat box, where the named tabs are listed (usually Chat, Combat, etc.), right click on Chat and click Modify Tab.

From here, make sure you move tells (instant messages), guild chat, and group chat over to the main spatial window. This will allow you to see if someone in your group is trying to talk in guild chat, and also adds guild chat if you are in a guild. Now go to group chat (or guild chat if in a guild), and again, right click the name and modify. This time, leave the spatial messages out, but add in group chat, guild chat, etc.
