One today, Tuesday August 11th, Sony Online Entertainment released its latest game update to their Star Wars Galaxies title, an update called Engineering Trader. The main focus of this update was a revamp to the engineering branch of the trader profession. Included in the update are a myriad of bug fixes, and the ability for Jedi to wear armor after level 22, and a continuation of the Legacy Quest line, which is introduced at the start of a new character.
Jedi getting the ability to wear armor has been a change that has gotten a lot of flack since it was announced to be in this update, given how OP the Jedi class can seem to be. But the Developers insist that it has more to do with bringing lower level Jedi up to par with other classes, who could always wear armor starting at level 2.
Some of the updates to Engineering add a bunch of new droids to the game, as well as new cybernetic parts that players can equip like items as well.
