Star Wars Galaxies New FAQ Posted 11/1/2001 by Wongtam 


FAQ Updates - October 26, 2001

6.57 Can I customize clothing?

Yes. There are skills in the game based on crafting clothing of various types and from different materials. On top of that, players are able to apply different colors to the materials.

From the Developer's Forum

5.20 How will enemies "respawn" after we kill them?

If you kill something, it generally doesn't respawn; something else spawns. It might be very similar to the last thing, but with possibly different stats, species, name, behavior, etc. There are special cases, like an Imperial base which may be able to spawn Stormtroopers until the base that is destroyed.

6.53 Will "item decay" occur if an item is not being used?

No, items decay when they are used, not when stored.

6.54 Will I be able to hide equipment I am carrying or wearing from casual inspection by others?

In some cases, yes, and if you wear clothes that can cover up those items.

6.55 Can we ransack houses and shops?

No. Houses and shops cannot be ransacked.

6.56 Can bounties be placed on anyone for any reason?

No. Bounties only go on those who earn them in one way or another.

8.17 Will I be able to communicate and interact with players who are part of factions opposite my own?

Yes, you can definitely converse and interact with them.
