Star Wars Galaxies State of the Game

Star Wars Galaxies lead designer Thomas Blair has written up a "State of the Game" article for the MMORPG, focusing primarily on the enhancements introduced in Chapter 5 and what we can expect from Chapter 6.
Traders also received new features in Chapter 5, specifically a very complex, but fun reverse-engineering system. This gives traders the ability to deconstruct items in the game world and transfer their stat bonus to other objects. With this new skill, traders have become even more important to the in-game economy. Also, one of our favorite new trader abilities is that Droid Engineers can now craft Droideka droids. All the Droidekas scurrying about the world is truly a sight to see.
