• Added the 57 month veteran rewards: the homing beacon and three new permanent storyteller tokens.
  
  When placed in a structure you own, the homing beacon will allow you to land near your house from the space station above your home.
  
  You can also choose a storyteller combat NPC to create a boss level enemy to wreak havoc in your event: a Dark Jedi, a Nightsister, or a Tusken. The token is No Trade and reusable with a certain amount of uses per day.

• Rheumatic Calamity now does a base damage of 2000 plus a bleed damage over time of 400 each second for five seconds. Rheumatic Calamity will now display a combat log message to the target taking the damage. Rheumatic Calamity cannot strikethrough nor can it be dodged, parried, or a glancing blow.

• Reduced cost of Covert Mastery expertise from four points to one.

• The Puncturing Strikes expertise also now increases damage done by Blaster Burst and Snipe.

Collections:

• Increased chance to receive an update to the Build-A-Buff collection.

Collection Reactors Mark 1 - 4:

• All current Mark 1 - 4 collection reward reactors (not schematics) have been converted to the appropriate 1 time use collection reward schematic. Once you craft this new schematic, you will note the stat differences from the previous collection reactor. For example, if you have an old Archetype A in your inventory, when you login you will have an Archetype A 1 time use schematic.
• The already crafted reward reactors have been changed to the appropriate 1 time use schematic even if they were sitting in your house, your player inventory, your bank, or already installed in a ship. If they are already installed in a ship, the invalid component has been ejected into your inventory (regardless of it being full) and replaced with the appropriate 1 time use schematic.
• In the event the crafted reactor is somewhere in game where it cannot be replaced by a schematic, you can place the item in your inventory and it will be replaced in a few moments.  
• The new and old limited use schematic objects point to the new collection reactors. If you have an old schematic that has yet to be learned (in your inventory, in a vendor, etc.) that schematic will produce a collection reactor with the new stats. If you have an old schematic that has already been learned, it will craft the old version that will convert upon being crafted. If you have a reactor limited use schematic in your tool, don't use high quality resources or any components when crafting it.
• Given the nature of the solution functionality, no harm will come to reactors other than the Mark 1 - Mark 4 Collection Reward Reactors. They will remain where they were when you logged off before the update.
• All of the collections themselves remain intact. Nothing will be reset for any of the collections.
•  Both the new and old schematics update the crafting quota collection. If you haven't completed the crafting quota collection, you will get credit for crafting a schematic that replaced your old reactor.
• Vendors and the bazaar will not covert the Mark 1 - 4 collection reactor objects. The conversion will happen as soon as the customer buys or removes the reactor from the bazaar or vendor. Please do your customers a favor by removing the old reactors from your vendor to avoid problems. 
• The ship terminal will not allow a ship with the old reactor to launch into space. It will eject the reactor and swap out the object with a limited use schematic.

Space:

• Non-POB ships no longer allow crew to launch into space if no weapon is in the turret.
• A booster was added to the Rebel gunship so that effects play.
• All NPC ships in Nova Orion space should now have engines and weapons.
• Fixed a bug that would cause damaged capacitors to have their maximum energy set to 0 when unloaded from a ship.
• Hutt Heavy 1 and 2 Starships: Missing weapon appearances added for Corellia weapons.
• Fixed an issue where midlithe crystals in loot boxes of multi-passenger ships wouldn't auto-stack.
• Fixed an issue with midlithe crystals not being looted at the full amount when you already have a stack in your inventory. This will help with the isuses of not getting enough crystals while doing the quests.
• Space target arrows have been restored.
  • Target arrow - White arrow that points at your current target if it is not in your field of view.
  • Damager arrow - Red arrow(s) that points to the position the enemy was located when your ship got damaged.
• You may choose to toggle the space target arrows in the Interface tab; all options are enabled by default:
  • Target/Damager Arrow Toggle
  • Visible Damager Arrow Toggle - Players can choose not to show damager arrows if the enemy was in their field of view at the time of damage.

Star Destroyer Heroic Encounter:

• Players should be less likely to be dropped to Corellia when attempting to enter the rogue Star Destroyer from a multi-player ship.
• Players will now be confined to the Blackguard cloning room while an event is in progress.
• The squad leader event will now reset more quickly if failed.

Quests:

• Rewards should now show their proper effect bonuses in their tooltips.

User Interface:

• Added an option to disable combat animation priority. If you turn this option on, any attack will play its animation instantly whether or not it was in the middle of another animation. By default this is turned OFF. Animations, by default, will obey priority and skill animations will play in full before a normal attack animation is allowed to play. Your damage output is not changed by turning on/off this feature. It is merely for visual feedback. You can find this option under the Graphics tab in your options panel.
• Several UI windows can now be locked preventing moving and resizing. Right-click the UI window and select either "Lock Window" or "Unlock window". Settings will be saved when the game closes. All windows are unlocked by default.
• A new option has been added to allow you to choose the result of double-clicking an item in a vendor's list; you can choose to double-click an item to examine it or double-click to buy it. For example, you can choose to double-click an item in the Aurilian vendor's stock to examine it without spending tokens. This option is turned on by default and can be toggled in the Options->UI panel.
• Entering a vehicle using the radial menu or clicking on the vehicle directly now generate the same messages if the action cannot be completed.
• Fixed a bug with skill mods not re-displaying when you are revived by a player.
• The client rendering of inventory objects has been improved.

Character Transfer Service:

• Fixed an issue where a transferred character sometimes received multiple Remote Player Association Access Devices in the datapad.
• If your transferred character ended up with multiple Remote Player Association Access Devices in the datapad, you can now delete the extra ones.
• Skill mods gained as collection rewards will now transfer with your character.

Miscellaneous:

• Corrected an issue that would cause a crash to desktop in the Axkva Min heroic encounter.
• Corrected the Koensayr Reactor "Star Synthesis" Archetype D name so it shows in the Crafting Tool properly.

• Nova Orion Industries, a starship research and development company, is based out of a space station located in Ord Mantell space. Created by Jonas Nova and Garrick Orion, the company has grown from its humble origins to become a galactic level producer of starships. The Nova Orion space station is a hub for new space quests in Chapter 8.

Star Destroyer Heroic Encounter:

• An Imperial captain has gone rogue and taken his Star Destroyer with him. A group of adventurers who want to take back the ship may recruit a pilot to smuggle them aboard.

• Adjusted the amount of ground experience gained for killing enemy NPCs in space.
• Removed the quest complete window that would pop-up when a space mission was completed. For example, if you were on a Nova Orion quest, and you completed the first portion (a patrol mission), you will no longer get the quest complete window that requires you to push Accept.
• The space loot system no longer tells the player they have received credits when they haven't due to a player having a full inventory.  The player now receives a system message stating their inventory or loot box is full.

• The secondary engine appearance of the VT-49 Decimator fixed to use the correct engine glow.
• Fixed a missing tractor beam appearance on all starships that have weapon appearances (tie fighters do not have weapon appearances).
• Changed weapon version s03 appearances on the Belbullab-22 to use version s02, due to muzzles pointing down on the s03 version instead of forward.

• /wp has been added as a shortcut for /waypoint.
• The waypoint created from the bazaar vendor search now contains the price and name of the item in the waypoint name.
• On the ground, you can create a waypoint at the current intended/look at target location by specifying -target immediately after /waypoint (i.e. "/waypoint -target").  The intended (green bracket) target is checked first, and then the look at (blue bracket) target is checked.  If there is no intended or look at target, the current location is used.
• Fixed an issue where if a mail has multiple attached waypoints, and you save each attached waypoint one at a time, it will always create the last attached waypoint.
• Fixed an issue where a waypoint attached to a mail does not retain its color when the waypoint is recreated from the attachment.
• The waypoint color for the waypoint created by /findFriend is now purple.  This only applies if a waypoint is actually created.  If the existing /findFriend waypoint is re-used, the existing waypoint color will be maintained.

• The waypoint color for the waypoint created by surveying is now orange.  This only applies if a waypoint is actually created.  If the existing surveying waypoint is re-used, the existing waypoint color will be maintained.

• You can create a waypoint on a different planet or space zone from anywhere by specifying the planet/space zone name immediately after /waypoint (i.e. "/waypoint <planet/space zone name>").  The following lists the planet/space zone name that you can pass to the /waypoint command (i.e. "/waypoint <planet/space zone name>") to create the waypoint on the specified planet/space zone.
