Star Wars Galaxies Developer Diary

Star Wars Galaxies associate designer Jeff Haskell has penned the latest developer diary for the MMORPG over at WarCry. In it, he tells us about the new space collection systems that will be introduced in the game's Chapter 8 update. Kill collections:
Pilots will be able to participate in at least one of three faction oriented space slayer kill collections. Each of the faction kill collections has 5 tiers (or levels) that can be completed in any order. With each tier the player completes, space experience and badges are rewarded. When the player completes all 5 tiers they receive their final reward.

If you are new to space combat, new pilots will be able to progress through the collection at the same time as they progress through their piloting skills, giving the entire space leveling system more value. If you are a veteran pilot, you will be able to find the ships easily because additional spawn locations have been added.
