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. Solo flight options remain available; however, groups will earn bonuses in the instance if they enter via a POB ship. Your journey to the Star Destroyer begins in the Aurilia Adventurer's guildhall.
Collections:
Added space-based collection system.
Added new ground collections.
Space:
Ord Mantell can now be found on the hyperspace map.
Kashyyyk and Mustafar are displayed properly on the hyperspace map.
Greatly reduced droid command reuse time on most droid commands.
Ships:
Four new ships have been added: the Rebel Incom X4 Gunship, Imperial YE-4 Assault Gunship, Blacksun AEG-77 Vigo Gunship, and the Naboo N-1 Starfighter.
Eight new shipwright craftable components have been added (three capacitors, three armor plating, one gunship shield, and one reactor draft schematics).
Ships no longer have a parking location, allowing ship view and launch from any planet or terminal.
Gyroscopes have been added to all player controller turrets. No longer will pitching/yawing your ship cause your turret to pitch/yaw as well(turret rotation clamps still apply). This should make shooting much easier!
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.
Blacksun Light Fighters using the light engine version s02 have had their exhaust particle effect fixed.
The YT-1300, YKL37R, and Decimator missing elite engine appearance has been added.
Fixed the glow and the audio effect on the booster on the ARC-170.
Changed the turrets on the ARC-170 to use 360 rotation to fix a blindspot issue with firing turrets on the ship.
Rear turret angle of the Y-wing increased, which allows them to be more competitive in PvP.
The engine of the A-wing was using the wrong appearance, which caused the glows to be bugged. This fix puts back in the glows and the correct appearance.
Removed glow and bloom effects on the A-wing that were displaying in incorrect locations.
Ship details now properly updates to reflect damage or repairs.
Fixed a bug that caused the component status display to be incorrect when targeting player controlled ships after they respawned.
User Interface:
Clicking your own status bar or your target's target bar will set that target to your current target.
Right clicking a group member now has an option to send a tell.
Space group invite window closes properly when launching into space.
Added right clicking group functionality to the party and player (target / self) windows. You must be grouped in order to right click your own player window.
Leave Group has been removed from the radial menu; this can be achieved via right clicking on your status bar.
Fixed a bug where some buff effects were incorrectly removed on character death.
The selected target is now always cleared when entering the pilot's chair or a turret bay while in space.
Added an option under the Controls tab to enable/disable the new gimbal correction system for turrets on ships. It is enabled by default.
Character Skill mods are now displayed as percentages.
The Inventory split window buttons now properly align at higher resolutions.
After deleting an item from the inventory in List View, no item gets selected afterwards by default.
The red border surrounding a skill that is on cooldown but is trying to be used has been re-aligned.
The droid programming buttons (Datapad) now align and scale properly.
Changing font size using the mousewheel or the chat tab now saves.
Stopped "Out of Range" icon from disabling highlighting of button.
When "Mouse left and right drives movement" or "Middle mouse drives movement" are enabled in the keymap, driving movement with mouse buttons now properly cancels autorun.
In Lotto Loot group loot mode, a loot selection window will no longer pop up for the entire group if the only thing on the corpse is credits. In that case, the standard loot window will pop up for the person looting and the credits will be split among the group members.
Added a button called "Find Controllers" to the Controls tab in Options. If you plug in a joystick AFTER starting the client and press this button, it will find your newly plugged in controller.
Waypoints
You can now specify the name of the waypoint in the /waypoint command by putting it at the end of the command
You can create a waypoint on any of the 10 original ground planets (Tatooine, Naboo, Corellia, Rori, Talus, Yavin 4, Endor, Lok, Dantooine, and Dathomir) from anywhere by specifying the planet name immediately after /waypoint (i.e. "/waypoint <planet name> ..."" />.
A "Set Color" option has been added to the waypoint radial menu to set the color of the waypoint. Note that this only sets the color of the waypoint, not the color of the waypoint name. You can also specify the waypoint color (blue, green, orange, purple, white, yellow) anywhere in the /waypoint command to create the waypoint in that color.
/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 for the Bazaar Terminal Vendor Location is now green.
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.

There is a new option at the bottom of the Misc Options tab to set the number of degree by which furniture are rotated when using the Rotate radial sub-menu or when using /rotateFurniture and no degree is specified. The default value is 90.
Yaw Random has been added to the Rotate radial sub-menu (slash command /rotateFurniture YAW RANDOM) that that will randomly rotate the object around the yaw axis.
Reset has been added to the Rotate radial sub-menu (slash command /rotateFurniture RESET) that will reset the object's rotation/orientation.
Copy has been added to the Rotate radial sub-menu (slash command /rotateFurniture COPY) that will set the current look at (blue bracket) target to the same rotation/orientation as the current intended (green bracket) target.
Copy Location has been added to the Move radial sub-menu (slash command /moveFurniture COPY LOCATION) that will move the current look at (blue bracket) target to the same horizontal location as the current intended (green bracket) target. Both objects must be located in the same room.
Copy Height has been added to the Move radial sub-menu (slash command /moveFurniture COPY HEIGHT) that will move the current look at (blue bracket) target to the same height as the current intended (green bracket) target. Both objects must be located in the same room.
Township of Aurilia:
The fog will no longer repel Master Pilots, even if their combat level is lower than 70.

Storage deeds can now be used on POB ships. Storage deeds can be redeemed from a POB ship terminal or from the ship's control device in a datapad. Ships cannot be re-deeded until all storage deeds are removed.
Group Loot:
Corrected an issue with the lotto loot group loot setting where a player going link dead would result in items on the corpse not transferring properly to the winner.
Beast Master:
Noxious Vrelt Scavengers will now stuff correctly.
User Interface:
Credit and bank values now can be delimited via a token of your choice (comma or period). This option is turned off by default, but you can turn it on via the Options -> Misc panel.
Combat:
The Show Snare Messages checkbox now works as expected.
Jedi:
Saber Block may now be activated with any weapon, though the full benefit will only be realized when using a lightsaber.
Advanced Decoration:
Players can right-click the examine window to rotate objects in their house. While examining an object that can be manipulated in the player's house, right-clicking the window will spawn a menu with options if the needed collections have been completed.
Added left/and right move furniture commands in the Move radial sub-menu, and slash commands /moveFurniture left and /moveFurniture right.

Droid Ships now display a more descriptive name for space kill collections.
The Imperial Decimators will no longer give Rebel players kill collection credit as a gunboat.
General:
Naming a building, crafted item or backpack in a player's inventory now ignores any leading @'s. @'s that are not at the start of the name are unaffected. For example: "@my house" will now be treated as "my house", "party @ my place" will still be "party @ my place" and " @home" will remain " @home" (notice the space).
Fixed a bug that would cause inventory and examine windows to display incorrect usability information after changing characters.
Collection titles no longer show as code string.
The Jedi located near a potted planet has been moved outside of his hut. He is now attackable.
