Profession Trainers

Added around 500 CU profession trainers.

Basic trainers can be found on planet map too! Trainer list for reference - https://nexus.swgtools.com/trainers/

10-14-24

Mask Scent is in a rudimentary state; testing and feedback are highly encouraged.

Note on Mask Sent Mechanics:

Creature mobs perform a skill check against the player's Mask Scent ability to -determine aggro. This check factors in movement, posture, player level, creature level, and skill modifiers.
Only works on creatures (no effect in PvP, NPCs, or droids).
Mask Scent is removed if combat begins.
Cannot be applied simultaneously with Conceal.
Currently, Mask Scent never wears off (a timer needs to be added, but documentation on its original duration is lacking).

Commands (Posture Changes)

Posture Changes: Commands like Kip Up Shot, Dive Shot, and Roll Shot now affect posture, though animations are not yet implemented. Please test and provide feedback.

Center of Being (Fixed)

Fixed Center of Being to now correctly apply a buff.

Added the following commands:

Leg Sweep 1 & 2
Dizzy Attack 1 & 2

Known Issues:

Combo Attack: Currently not stacking any accuracy or defense bonuses.

Meditate, Blind Recovery, Dizzy Recovery, and Stun Recovery are present, but no functionality has been added yet. Additional research is needed to implement the appropriate logic.

10-24-24

Armor Certification Removed: Armor certification restrictions have been lifted. Now, any citizen, regardless of skill or level, can equip any armor. However, faction-specific armor remains restricted. Note that while armor currently has no encumbrances, this feature will be added at a later date.
Center of Being Update: The Center of Being defensive stance will now only function when wielding a melee weapon or when unarmed. Ranged combatants, take note!

10-28-24

New Feature: Armor Penalties for Unauthorized Use

Reckless with that armor? You might want to think again. Now, wearing armor beyond your skill level introduces penalties. These include:

Factory Terminal System:

For a hefty sum of Nexus coins, you can now transform your factory deeds into sleek Factory Terminals with Factory Deed Conversion Kits. Install these terminals in your homes, but keep an eye on your house size - there's a limit to how many you can install. These terminals aren't picky; they work with all factory types, bringing crafting right to your doorstep. Operational Tips

Placement: Only install in houses where you're the Admin. Use the radial menu to get your terminal up and running.
Maintenance: Each terminal adds the factory maintenance cost to your house's maintenance.
Mobility: Once installed, your terminal is part of your home. It's not going anywhere unless you uninstall it, but feel free to shuffle it around inside.
Cost: An active terminal costs half the idle maintenance of a regular factory, so keep those credits flowing!

This system isn't just about convenience; it's about strategy. With high conversion costs and ongoing maintenance, you'll need to think about where and when to use these terminals. It's a new way to manage your production, right from the comfort of your living room (or throne room, if that's your thing).

Combat Updates

I'll start with the Profession Fixes:

Brawler: Now proudly displays on the full profession list, no longer hiding in the shadows.
Intimidate Shot: Now properly buffs your intimidation, making your enemies think twice.

Dead Bang (Basic / Improved / Advanced): Make your foes quiver with fear at the sound of your shot.
Overkill Shot (Basic / Improved / Advanced): When you want to ensure your target stays down.
Demolition Shot (Basic / Improved / Advanced): For those times when you need to bring down the heavy armor.

12-29-24

Crafting and Professions:

Novice Artisan Simplified:

No longer requires crafting XP to unlock. It didn’t make much sense to demand crafting XP when you’re not even able to craft yet, right?

Trainer Fixes:

Resolved an issue where trainers for your base profession would incorrectly offer to train Novice skills you already possess.
Novice skills will no longer appear as trainable once acquired. Trainers will now properly inform you when there’s nothing left to train.

Weaponsmith Upgrades:

Weaponsmith schematics are live! Weaponsmiths can now craft weapons. Let’s arm the galaxy with style!

Character Progression Enhancements

Level-Based Stat Adjustments:

Health, Action, Health Regeneration, and Action Regeneration now scale with your character’s level to match NGE leveling mechanics.

Stat Modifiers Introduced:

Stat boosts (Strength, Agility, Precision, Constitution, Stamina, and Luck) are now tied to skills!
Currently applied to the base six professions (Entertainer, Brawler, Marksman, Medic, Scout, Artisan) as part of a trial run. Expect more expansions soon!

Combat System Overhaul

01-05-25

Entertainer XP Types Granted!

Entertainers now have four distinct XP types tied to their actions and contributions:

Image Design XP

How to Earn It:

Perform Image Design changes on other players.

Musicianship XP

How to Earn It:

Play music and use flourishes during performances.

Dancing XP

How to Earn It:

Perform dances and add flourishes to your routine.

Entertainer XP

How to Earn It:

Players watching or listening to your performance.
Applying Inspire buffs to players.
Healing wounds (TBD on implementation of wound mechanics).

Buff Inspire Points Increased!

Entertainers will now have more flexibility when inspiring buffs for others. Previously, entertainers received 8 Inspire Points to allocate for buffs. With these changes:

Base Points: Entertainers still receive 8 points.
Additional Points: An extra 12 points (4 each for Entertainer, Dancer, and Musician skills) have been added to the CU skill trees.

This ensures entertainers can further customize buffs and enhance their impact on the galaxy.

Scout

Scout XP Types Implemented!

Scouts now have three distinct XP types to progress through their skill trees: Trapping XP, Scouting XP, and Wilderness Survival XP. Each type rewards different playstyles and actions:

Trapping XP

How to Earn It:

Damage creatures with traps during combat.
Trapping XP is based on the trap's pseudo-damage (approximately 1,000 damage plus 0-35%, depending on your trap skill).
When a trap lands, it contributes to a shared combat XP pool. If you finish the target with a weapon, XP is distributed proportionally between your weapon type and traps.

Example: Land traps on a creature and finish it with a pistol—XP is split between Trapping XP and Pistol XP, based on each source's contribution.

Scouting XP

How to Earn It:

Harvesting Creatures: Use the /harvestcorpse command after defeating creatures to gather resources like meat, hide, or bone. XP scales with the creature's level and type.
Mask Scent: Activate the /maskscent ability to sneak past creatures. Successfully avoiding detection by creatures near your level grants XP, based on the number evaded and your skill level.

Wilderness Survival XP

How to Earn It:

Crafting Camps: Earn XP based on the resources used to craft camps, with XP equal to twice the resource cost.
Using Camps: Gain XP over time while camps are active, influenced by healing done, the number of visitors, and camp duration.
Crafting Traps: Like camps, crafting traps grants some Wilderness Survival XP.
Fishing: Catch fish to earn XP; larger fish yield more rewards.

Skill Points and Attribute Updates!

Map NGE Attribute Stats to CU Skills

Attributes previously tied to NGE classes will now be assigned to CU professions and skill trees, reflecting each profession’s thematic and GAMEPLAY focus.
Key goals of this distribution:

Combat Balance: Professions are balanced to ensure that each has a niche where they excel, encouraging teamwork and specialization.
Skill Customization: While these are base stats, players can often modify or enhance these through GAMEPLAY, allowing some flexibility in character development.

Combat Level Tied to Skill Points

Combat Level (CL) is now determined by the number of skill points you have allocated rather than the total XP earned.

Players reach CL 90 after spending 200 out of 250 skill points, leaving room for customization and diverse builds.
Non-combat professions like Crafting and Entertainer will also benefit, allowing dedicated players to enjoy a slight advantage in the wild.

Additional Changes

Surveying:

A maxed survey skill (100) significantly reduces the likelihood of pop-ups during sampling and ensures no sampling failures.

Auto Aim (Y):

The auto-aim accuracy penalty has been reduced to 3% (down from 5%).

01-22-05

The CU “Speed” stat has been reprogrammed and repurposed into “Damage” modifiers.
New logic has been implemented to enhance damage output based on this updated stat, giving combat an extra edge.

CU Defense Modifiers Implemented

Defense modifiers from CU professions have been activated and integrated into the NGE combat system. These stats now affect defense rolls for key actions like Dodge, Evade, and Block.
Here's how defense modifiers now work:

General Defenses

These stats are factored in based on the attacker’s weapon type:

- Ranged Defense
- Melee Defense

Weapon-Specific Defenses

These stats depend on the defender’s weapon proficiency:

- Unarmed Defense
- One-Handed Defense
- Two-Handed Defense
- Polearm Defense
- Pistol Defense
- Carbine Defense
- Rifle Defense

What This Means for You
Every choice matters—your weapon type, defense stats, and even your opponent’s loadout now play a critical role in determining the outcome of combat.

Verbose Combat Logging

Enhanced Combat Log Details

Verbose combat logs now include additional information to give you a clearer picture of every engagement.
- Attack Roll Percentages: See how attack rolls stack up for each hit.
- Defense Roll Percentages: Gain insight into how your defense stats are impacting combat outcomes.
Use these logs to analyze battles and fine-tune your strategy!

02-01-25

Smugglers now gain Spice Crafting XP when crafting spices.
The Smuggler crafting tree has been updated to require Spice Crafting XP for progression.

Slicing:

Smugglers can now earn Slicing XP from:

- Unlocking containers
- Slicing mission terminals
- Slicing base terminals
- Slicing weapons and armor
Full weapon and armor slicing implementation is still in development. Slicing XP is not yet required for skills, and schematics for slicing remain unavailable until the system is fully integrated.

Combat State Adjustments

Stun:

Stunned targets can now move and perform other actions while stunned.
Stun debuff now applies the following penalties:
- Damage Reduction: 10%
- Ranged/Melee Defense: -50 points
- Ranged/Melee Accuracy: -80 points

Blind:

Blind debuff now applies the following penalties:

- Ranged/Melee Defense: -25 points
- Ranged/Melee Accuracy: -160 points

Dizzy:

Dizzy debuff now applies the following penalties:

- Ranged/Melee Defense: -100 points
- Ranged/Melee Accuracy: -40 points

Additional Information:

States Affect NPCs & Creatures: These effects apply to mobs and creatures, but only in relation to the defenses and accuracy they already have. The full extent of their impact depends on the stats of the target.
Reapplying Effects: Stun, Blind, and Dizzy will reapply and restart their timers upon a new application, just like buffs. The duration is based on the command used to apply the effect.
Stacking Effects: A player can be affected by any or all of these states simultaneously, and their modifiers will stack.

Recovery Abilities (Stun, Blind, Dizzy)

Recovery abilities now properly remove their respective debuffs.
These abilities can only be used if affected by the debuff they are meant to cure.
Added new messaging to clarify whether the state was removed or if you were unaffected.

02-11-25

Combat Adjustments

Action Cost Overhaul:

The action cost for nearly every ability has been increased by ~10x, making action management a more critical resource.
Exceptions have been made for early Brawler/Marksman abilities to ensure low-level players can still engage effectively.
Early Action Pool Buffs:
- Action pools and regeneration rates have been slightly increased for the first 10 levels to compensate for the flat-rate cost increase.

Healing Enhancements (Temporary):

The effectiveness of Bacta Shot, Bacta Toss, Bacta Spray, and Bacta Jab has been increased to 4x their previous healing values.
This is a temporary boost until the implementation of stim packs.

Melee Range Adjustments:
All melee weapons have been standardized with new maximum ranges:

Unarmed: 8m
One-Handed: 10m
Two-Handed: 11m
Polearm: 12m
Lunge: Now usable from up to 15m (previously 8m).
All other melee abilities now use the default weapon range rather than being locked to 15m.

State Adjustments:

Players may now /sit while inflicted with stunned, dizzy, blind, or other debuffs.

03-03-25

v0.16.0

Combat Systems

Healing Logic: Self-healing no longer stalls when your target’s too far for friendly bacta range. Bacta Shot, Jab, and Infusion now default to you if the enemy’s out of reach. No more bleeding out while staring at a distant foe.
Accuracy Tuning: Combat abilities now carry custom accuracy modifiers. The Crew’s tweaked these so far:
- Aimed Shot: +10
- Firearm Strike: +15
- Rapid Fire: +15
- Lethal Shot: +5
- Head Shot: -20 (Aim carefully, or don’t.)
- Sniper Shot: +20 / +30 / +40 (Tiered precision.)
- Conceal Shot: +18
- Startle Shot: +5
- Body Shot: +8Results may vary. Blame your hands, not the math.

Decay and Cloning

Cloning Wear: Non-PvP deaths now decay gear on cloning—Weapons, Armor, PSGs, Clothing, Cybernetics, Tools, Jewelry. Uninsured? 5% condition hit. Insured? 1%, but insurance burns off after. Re-insure it, or weep later.
Weapon Decay: 2% chance per use to lose 1 condition point. Powerups bump it to 5% per hit while active. Cloning adds more wear—check your coverage.
Armor Decay: Takes a hit based on damage slipping through—10% of unblocked damage splits across your set (Chest: 5, Pants: 3, Head: 2, rest at 1). Below 50% condition, effectiveness drops, bottoming at 50% before zero. PSGs soak some punishment first. Cloning applies extra decay.
PSG Decay: Only wears when blocking its damage type. Kinetic breezes by; no decay there. Cloning still stings—mind your terminals.

Insurance Overhaul

Terminals Deployed: Insurance stations added to all cloning facilities, save Imperial/Rebel outposts. Player cities should have them too.
Insure Dialog: Check item conditions, see costs, pick what to insure. 100CR per item, or bulk-insure via radial menu. Convenience isn’t free.

Repair Kits

Usage Rules: Anyone can repair decayed gear if it’s not trashed. Success hinges on item complexity—crafters’ Assembly skills cut that down. Better kits and skill tapes help. Outcomes:

- Perfect Repair: Full fix, 5% max HP loss.
- Slight Repair: Full fix, 20% max HP loss.
- Imperfect Repair: Full fix, 33% max HP loss.
- Failed Repair: Condition drops to 1. It’s dead.Armor kits work on PSGs too.

Crafting Updates

Repair Kit Schematics: Armor, Weapon, and Clothing kits now craftable at Novice Armorsmith, Weaponsmith, and Tailor. Crates of 25, 5 uses per stack.
Weapon Condition: Now ranges 800–5000, tied to Decay Resistance and Overall Quality of resources in the final appearance step. No experimenting—just raw materials. Check the stats when crafting.

03-19-25

v0.17.0

Ranger Profession Overhaul

The Ranger profession has been rebuilt from the ground up. We’ve split the changes into Crafting, Traps, and Commands to keep things digestible. Strap in, because there’s a lot to cover.

Crafting

- Camo Kits

- - Rangers can now craft Camo Kits, essential for certain concealment commands (like Camouflage Self and Wilderness Stealth).
  - Each kit is tied to a specific planet and requires resources from that planet.
  - Kits come in stacks of 5 and are consumed when used.
  - No more hiding for free—craft your camouflage or stay in the spotlight.
- Trap Detonators
  - Trap detonators are now craftable components used in trap crafting, replacing the old system of applying them pre-deployment. This adds depth to crafting and lightens your field load.
  - Three types available:
    - Timed: Set a timer (3–60 seconds) for when the trap triggers after deployment.
    - Remote: Adds a remote detonator to your inventory for manual triggering.
    - Proximity: Triggers based on enemy proximity (1, 5, or 10 meters).
  - The detonator sets the trap’s Accuracy—how likely it is to trigger when intended. Base accuracy depends on resource quality, improvable through crafting experimentation.
  - Accuracy details are visible on the detonator’s item description.
- Trap Bodies
  - These traps now require a detonator component to craft:
    - Springloaded Caltrop
    - Flash-Bang Trap
    - Kaminoan Dart Trap
    - HX2 Mine
  - The detonator type is locked in during crafting and can’t be swapped later.
  - The trap’s description shows its type, configuration, and accuracy (inherited from the detonator).
  - Resource costs for traps and components have slightly increased, with some now requiring more specific resource types.

Traps

- Trap Configuration

- - Adjust detonator settings via the trap’s radial menu:
    - Proximity: Set the trigger radius to 1, 5, or 10 meters.
    - Timed: Set the timer to 3, 5, 7, 10, 15, 20, 30, 45, or 60 seconds.
  - Remote detonators give you a remote for manual control.
- Trap Mechanics
  - Removed PvP restrictions on Proximity detonators and HX2 Mines (though Proximity traps still only trigger on players, not NPCs/creatures).
  - Traps can now be placed anywhere outside cities.
  - Trap accuracy dictates success:
    - Failed triggers show sparks and a message.
    - Timed: Retries after 10–25% of the original timer.
    - Proximity: Won’t retrigger until a new enemy enters or the current target leaves and re-enters.
    - Remote: Requires manual retry via the remote.
  - Remote detonators are destroyed after use.
  - Traps can’t be picked up or disarmed by their placer and expire after 10 minutes.
- Trap Restrictions
  - All class and level requirements for traps are gone—anyone can use them (for now).

Commands

- Area Track

- - Detect enemies within a 500m radius, with ranks unlocking as you progress:
    - Area Track Animal Novice Ranger: Tracks all creatures.
    - Area Track Direction Ranger x1xx: Adds cardinal directions.
    - Area Track Person Ranger x2xx: Tracks humanoid NPCs.
    - Area Track Distance Ranger x3xx: Adds distance info.
    - Area Track Player Ranger x4xx: Tracks players and their factions.
  - Restrictions: Can’t use in buildings, combat, or while already tracking. Cancelled by excessive movement, combat, death, or logout.
  - Activation opens a dialog to choose enemy type (Creature, Person, Player) based on your skills.
- Concealment Commands
  - Camouflage Self: Basic invisibility—breaks if you move. Requires a planet-specific Camo Kit. Success tied to “camouflage” skill mod. Not usable in populated areas.
  - Camouflage Ally: Same as above, but for guild/group members.
  - Wilderness Stealth: Advanced concealment with slow movement. Requires a Camo Kit. Success based on “stealth” skill mod. Stackable with Camouflage Self for extra cover. Detection risk increases near enemies.
  - Urban Stealth: Concealment in cities. Requires a non-depleted HEP (depletes while active). Success based on “stealth” skill mod. Allows slow movement, stackable with Camouflage Self. Detection possible near enemies.
  - Layering Note: If detected with stacked concealment, Camouflage Self may keep you hidden until fully spotted.
- Detect Camouflage
  - Reveals concealed players or traps within a radius (base 20m + detect_hidden/20).
  - Success depends on levels, camo/stealth modifiers, and “detect_hidden” skill.
  - Players lose concealment (no combat initiated); traps become visible but stay active.
- Conceal Device
  - Applies a 30-second buff to conceal your next trap (if concealable). Eligible traps:
    - Motion Sensor
    - Caltrop
    - Flashbang
    - HX2 Mine
    - Kaminoan Dart
- Disarm Trap
  - Disarms unconcealed enemy Motion Sensors and Tracking Beacons.
- Steal
  - Steal credits, junk, or loot from humanoid NPCs, or “stealable” items from players.
  - Success hinges on luck, concealment, level difference, stealth/camo modifiers, detect_hidden skill, and target status (e.g., elite).
  - Caught stealing from NPCs? Combat starts, concealment breaks. From players? They get a notification.
  - Future Potential: Special stealable items may be added later.

v0.19.0

Major Changes

Loot Schematics Remapped

We’ve remapped approximately 500 loot schematics from those limiting NGE classes to the more open CU professions. No more wondering which class has the right skills—your CU profession is now your crafting compass. Finally, the galaxy makes sense again.

Camp Mining Bonus Fixed

Fixed an issue with the camp mining bonus. It was as unpredictable as a Jawa's warranty, but now it kicks in reliably when you're within the camp's radius. We’ve also fine-tuned the detection, so you can mine with confidence. No more bonus roulette!

Camp Item Descriptions Updated

Battery modules and camp items now clearly display the camp's lifetime in minutes. The guesswork is gone—plan your expeditions like a pro, because who has time for math in the middle of a nowhere

05-04-25

v0.20.0

Major Changes

Modifier Bits

Profession trainers now let you convert XP into Modifier Bits — nearly 100 skill or stat boosts to sculpt your perfect build.
Got Novice status? You can redeem any modifier a trainer offers — if your XP’s up to par. Each modifier needs a specific XP type.
Conversion is linear, with unique min/max values and rates per modifier. Pick smart, or you’ll be modding like a shorted astromech.
Adjusted XP caps for most professions to keep things balanced.

Weapon Enhancement Synthesizer (WES) — Craftable by Novice Weaponsmith
Clothing Enhancement Synthesizer (CES) — Craftable by Novice Tailor
Armor Enhancement Synthesizer (AES) — Craftable by Novice Armorsmith

Usable by anyone, but each attachment holds one modifier.
One mod, one shot — make it count. --- Equipment

Max sockets on armor, clothing, and weapons increased from 1 to 4.
Socket odds are now tied to your Assembly skill (minimum 50 required).
Skimp on skill, and you’re socketless.

Other

v0.21.0

What’s New?

Trainer Modifiers Tidied Up

We’ve cleaned house at each trainer.
No more duplicate clutter at ranged trainers.
Removed underperforming modifiers.

Less junk, more clarity. --- SEAs Won’t Stack Anymore

Once a modifier is applied via a Socket Enhancement Attachment, it's locked in.

One mod, one slot, no exceptions. --- Trainer Dialog Fixed

Apostrophes in chat logs looked like they went through a trash compactor.
Now they’re crystal clear.

Because punctuation matters, people. --- Master Profession Badges for Crafters

Crafters, rejoice!
Master-level professions now reward badges to show off your grind.

Your dedication finally gets some shine. --- Mission Cap Increased

Max missions bumped from 2 to 6.
Bounty Hunters still limited to 1 BH mission, but it counts toward the 6.

Plan your chaos accordingly. --- Frog Terminal Fix

The Frog Terminal is back to normal.
It now gives out the correct Entertainer XP, not Healing XP.

Less XP mix-ups from your amphibian ally.

Droid Engineer Schematics Return
Droid Engineers, it’s your time to shine again!
We’ve brought back some classic NGE schematics:

- Willpower: +8 Mind, +2 Health

Dynamic HAM Recalculation: HAM pools are recalculated whenever Willpower is altered by buffs or debuffs.

v0.23.0

Battle Fatigue

Battle Fatigue (BF) has landed, adding a tactical twist to your combat and recovery cycles. You’ll spot your BF level right below your character’s level on the HUD—complete with a tooltip and color coding. BF caps at 1000 points, and here’s the breakdown:

Below 250 BF: You’re in the clear—no penalties.
Above 250 BF: Heals and HAM buffs drop by 0.1% per BF point
- e.g., 25% reduction at 500 BF, 75% at 1000 BF
- DOT strength takes the same hit.

How You Gain BF:

5% chance to pick up 1 BF per hit.
Disease and fire DOTs add BF as DOT Strength / 100 per tick.
Cloning adds 100 BF.

Healing It Off:

UI Improvements

Buff icons repositioned to avoid blocking the Mind bar.
Camera now zooms out when placing structures, with improved panning and lot line visibility. Yes, you just read that correctly.

06-16-25

Combat Enhancements

New Starter Abilities:

Beginner’s Shot for Novice Marksman Beginner’s Strike for Novice Brawler These low-level abilities give new players a fighting chance with starter gear, though their effectiveness diminishes as you master your craft—a solid foundation for your journey.

Auto Attack Costs Introduced: Small action and mind costs are now applied to auto attacks, more noticeable at low levels but fading by max level. This shift:

Rewards progression by making stat growth feel impactful.
Aligns auto attack costs with Heavy Weapon balance.
Adds strategic depth by slightly affecting regen rates.
Heavy Weapon Cost Reduction: Action cost for Heavy Weapons dropped to 4% of its original value.
Root and Snare Adjustment: Duration halved to suit our fast-paced combat style.

Miscellaneous Tweaks

Battle Fatigue from Radioactives: Sampling radioactive resources now carries a revised BF risk:

Old: 0.125% of Potential Energy (over 500 PE) per sample.
New: A chance-based system (100% at 1000 PE, 1% at 500 PE) to gain 1 BF per sample, easing the burden on resource gatherers. Keep an eye out—BF might influence sampling rates in a future update!

07-04-25

v0.25.0

Wounds: The New Frontier of Combat

Debut of Wounds Wounds are back, adding a gritty layer to your HAM (Health, Action, Mind) pools. These can stack up to 50% of each pool’s maximum, chipping away at your available stamina, making every fight a test of endurance. How Wounds Strike:

Cloning Penalty: Cloning now inflicts 100 wounds across all HAM pools—a harsh but fair price for a fresh start.
Radioactive Risk: Hand sampling radioactive resources leaves Health wounds, a hazard for daring miners.

Every hit has a 5% chance to apply 1.5% of post-protection damage as wounds to a random HAM pool, keeping battles unpredictable.

Medical Facilities: Health and Action wounds mend automatically every ~2 minutes, healing up to 12 points per interval, with one stat randomly chosen if both are wounded.

Entertainer Elixir: Watching or listening to entertainers heals Mind wounds and Battle Fatigue, rewarding XP for their artful efforts.

New Player Experience: Your Epic Beginning

Tutorial Reborn: The new player tutorial is back and mandatory, guiding you through your first steps—no skipping allowed! Level restrictions are lifted, letting you venture to Mos Eisley when ready via Tansarii quests.
Profession-Specific Gear: Meet Han Solo on Tansarii, and he’ll hand you a tailored item: a Carbine for Marksman, a Polearm for Brawlers, or other profession-specific tools to kickstart your journey.
Quest Line Choices: Han now asks your path, linking professions to NGE quest lines: Artisan to Trader, Medic to Medic, Entertainer to Entertainer, and more (e.g., Scout to Spy, Bounty Hunter, Smuggler, Commando). Many quests now check your chosen line or novice skills, not old class restrictions.
XP Tailored to You: Tutorial XP now matches your starting role—Entertainer XP for performers, general crafting XP for Artisans, or weapon-based XP for others.

Known Issues

Pre-Patch Wound Glitch: Characters created before this patch start with 100 wounds across each HAM stat—our apologies, a calibration error we’re working to fix!

08-18-25

v0.27.0

This massive update represents a complete overhaul of the medical system, reintroducing classic elements like the Mind pool, Wounds, and Battle Fatigue while centering progression around resource-driven crafting. We've drawn the best from each era to create a tactical, interdependent healing ecosystem that rewards strategy, profession synergy, and high-quality resources. These notes provide concise summaries—full details on skill trees, commands, abilities, schematics, and more are available on the wiki:

Medics form the foundational layer for crafting and basic healing, Combat Medics bring offensive DOTs and ranged support, and Doctors excel in advanced wound care, buffs, and revives. Bio-Engineers supply elite components, while Tailors contribute essential items like Fire Blankets and Bandages. Most NGE-style abilities now integrate craftable enhancers for boosted effects, blending Pre-CU's resource emphasis with CU's balance and NGE's pace.

Key System Changes

Wound and Battle Fatigue Management: Wounds impact Health, Action, and Mind pools, demanding specialized medpacks and treatments. Battle Fatigue accumulates in combat, lowering healing efficiency—counter it via rest, buffs, or expert care.
Crafting Focus: Medical items (stims, medpacks, enhancers, DOT units) scale with resource quality for potency, duration, and charges. Pre-CU components return, crafted by Medics and shared across professions.
Enhancers for Abilities: Commands pair with crafted enhancers to amplify potency, range, or effects, unlocked and crafted by the relevant profession.
Profession Interdependence: Medics enable core crafting and healing; Combat Medics add DOTs and ranged aid; Doctors manage wounds, buffs, and revives. Bio-Engineers craft advanced components (e.g., biological controllers); Tailors produce Fire Blankets (for Extinguish) and Bandages (basic wounds).
Balance Tweaks: Healing scales with skills and gear for better PvP/PvE viability. Debuffs, AoE heals, and revives are enhanced, but resource costs and cooldowns promote thoughtful play over spamming.

Medic Profession Summary

The gateway to medical expertise, ideal for new healers or crafters. Medics deliver field healing, wound treatment, and debuff removal, while crafting key items like Stimpacks (A-D), Wound Medpacks (A-B), and suspensions. Skill branches: Medical Augmentation (buffs/stabilization), Organic Chemistry (crafting), Medical Support (group heals), First Aid (debuff cures).

Key Unlocks: Bacta Shot (close-range heal), Bacta Spray (AoE heal with movement penalty), Bacta Infusion (HoT), Stabilize/Drag (support), Bandage/Decontaminate/Detox/Extinguish (first aid).
Crafting Highlights: Basic stims for self/group, wound packs for Health/Action, components for higher professions and Bio-Engineers.
Playstyle: Efficient field medicine merging Pre-CU depth with NGE ease. Essential stepping stone to specialization.

Combat Medic Profession Summary

A versatile hybrid for aggressive support—heal from afar while deploying chemical/biological attacks. Expands on Medic with DOT units, debuffs, and control. Skill branches: Chemical/Biological Warfare (offense), Distance Healing (ranged/AoE cures), Bio-Suppression (debuffs).

- Key Unlocks: Bacta Toss (medium-range heal), Area Decontaminate/Detox (group cures), Electrolyte Drain/Shock/Thyroid Rupture (debuffs), Resuscitate (revive), Rheumatic Calamity (backfire debuff), Bacta Corruption (heal reduction), Reckless Stimulation (Action restore at Health cost).

Chef Overhaul – Elevating Consumables to Strategic Essentials

We've thoroughly reengineered the food and drink systems to integrate seamlessly with Nexus's custom mechanics, transforming them into versatile tools for both combat and exploration. Key enhancements include:

- Expanded Utility: Buffs now encompass a broader spectrum, from combat edges to practical aids like enhanced surveying, improved creature taming, XP acceleration, and beyond—tailored for diverse playstyles.
- New Resources and Stats: All items feature updated durations, quantities, and potency, driven by resource quality, crafting experimentation, and Bio-Engineer (BE) additives for deeper customization.
- Filling Mechanic: Drawing from pre-NGE traditions, each item carries a "filling" value that occupies Space in your character's simulated stomach. Consumption is gated by available capacity, adding a layer of resource management.
- Dynamic Digestion: Stomach replenishment varies dynamically, influenced by player level (faster at higher tiers), specific buffs (e.g., T'illa T'ill for rate adjustments), species traits (e.g., resilient species like Wookiees digest more efficiently), and environmental variables like planetary climate and gravity—slower in extreme conditions like deserts or high-gravity worlds.

- BUFF SCALING – A NEXUS EXCLUSIVE!: Multi-attribute buffs now scale uniformly based on the item's nutritional value, ensuring comprehensive benefits from superior crafts. This groundbreaking feature has never been implemented before, making high-quality items exponentially more rewarding.
- Consumption Rules: Combine different food/drink types for INDEPENDENT, STACKING BUFFS – ANOTHER NEXUS FIRST! Same-type items extend duration (capped at 2 hours) but apply only the most recent item's effects.
- Instant Items: New support for immediate-impact consumables, such as rapid Health/Action/Mind heals or Poison/Disease cures, which still deduct filling but skip duration mechanics.
- Faction Checks: Select items incorporate faction restrictions; consult the [Secret Research Data] wiki for specifics.
- Cantina Bartenders: Galaxy-spanning cantinas in major hubs now offer refreshed, budget-friendly menus for entry-level buffs. Additionally, a new NPC bartender has been added to Tansarii Point Station, offering drinks and bar food to enhance the starting experience.This update fosters immersion and strategy, empowering Chefs and Bio-Engineers while maintaining accessibility. For a comprehensive view of crafted foods, explore the new support tool at https://nexus.swgtools.com/cheffmenus. Additionally, use the /menu command in Discord to access a Cantina Bar menu showcasing drinks available in NPC cities across the galaxy.

Mechanics: Food and Drinks – Precision in Every Bite

Delving into the core systems for those who appreciate the finer engineering.

Filling and Stomach Capacity

Filling derives from resource attributes, experimentation outcomes, and BE enhancements, directly impacting consumption limits.

- A unified stomach capacity handles all items, with buffs tracked separately—overfill prevention encourages thoughtful pacing.

Digestion Rates

- Rates adapt based on player progression (scaling upward with level), buff modifiers (positive or negative via select items), species characteristics (e.g., hardier species process faster), and planetary factors (e.g., arid environments hinder progress, temperate ones accelerate it).

Buff Stacking and Duration

- Distinct types stack buffs independently without overlap for maximum flexibility – A UNIQUE NEXUS INNOVATION!
- Identical types accumulate duration (up to 2 hours) but override effects with the latest consumption.
- Full scaling applies to ALL attributes in multi-buff items – REVOLUTIONARY AND EXCLUSIVE TO NEXUS, rewarding expert craftsmanship like never before.

Instant Consumables

- Deliver effects instantly, bypassing durations while still consuming filling—perfect for emergent situations.

Crafting and Acquisition

- Chefs lead via specialized branches: Entrees, Desserts, Mixology, and Domestic Arts.
- Innovative resources enable optimization of stats like quantity, duration, filling, and effectiveness.
- Bartenders provide no-craft alternatives for basics.
- Rare acquisitions include looted items like Mandalorian Wine or vendor specifics like Kommerken Steak from the Meatlumps Theme Park. Over 80 items have been refined—details await on the wiki.

Secret Research Data – Faction-Exclusive Enhancements__

Available to "Captain"-ranked Imperials or Rebels via faction recruiters, this limited-use schematic (75k credits, adjustable by faction modifiers) yields 15 Secret Research Data units.

- Restricted to Master Smugglers for crafting, utilizing generic or weapon stations—no factory production, emphasizing handmade quality.
- Incorporates faction locking for superior results, with a tradeoff in usability.
- Leverages Illicit Assembly/Experimentation skills for optimal outcomes; effectiveness boosts BE additives by 2-10% based on resources and execution.
- Notably, schematics now require Entangle Resistance (ER) as a key resource attribute—a significant addition, given ER's growing role in countering crowd control mechanics across the game.

Medical – Streamlined Healing Protocols

- Pre-consumption checks for DOTs ensure validity (target type, distance, etc.), preventing wasteful applications.
- Bacta abilities and enhancers now function correctly on allies.
- Medical XP awards: 2% of healed health for others, 0.4% for self-heals.

Smuggler – Broadened Illicit Expertise

- Skill mods renamed to Illicit Assembly/Experimentation, expanding coverage to all smuggler crafts—including the vital role in producing high-quality Secret Research Data.

Commando – Enhanced Tactical Depth

Commandos receive substantial attention this patch, addressing prior limitations in action economy and survivability. New modifiers bolster efficiency:

- Heavy Weapon Action Reduction
- AoE Damage Resistance
- Grenade Throwing DistancePaired with fresh abilities: It Burns!, Stand Fast, Position Secured, Armor Shredder, and Burn Down!—providing the action boost commandos deserved for more dynamic engagements.

Combat – Refined Engagement Modifiers

- Introduced Creature Hit Bonus (e.g., for Gralinyn Juice): +0.5 accuracy per point against creatures.
- Added Ranged and Melee Damage Mitigation: Limits maximum damage as a percentage of the weapon's range, mitigating high-roll threats.

User Interface – Improved Clarity and Feedback

- Mind Bar extended to group displays.
- Standardized HAM bars for uniform presentation across all views (player, targets, pets, groups).
- New optional HUD element for Food/Drink meters (default: enabled), with tooltips for precise filling data.
- Character sheet updated with integrated fill bars and a cleaner layout.

Space –– Visual and Atmospheric Upgrades

- New 4K planets have been integrated into Space systems, delivering a modern, refreshed aesthetic that transforms the feel of interstellar travel..

General – System-Wide Polish

- Crafting engine now fully supports Entangle Resistance as a resource attribute, underscoring its importance in builds.
- Flat-rate regen buffs compatible with percentage-based ones for hybrid regeneration strategies.
- Janta Blood visuals enhanced with updated texture and palette.
- Space fatalities no longer inflict wounds or battle fatigue.

Test Center Frog Love – Developer Tools for Thorough Testing

A dedicated suite of frog enhancements for realistic and extreme scenario testing:

- "Standard Buffs" collection: Includes comprehensive medic enhancements, squad leader perks, and extensive inspiration buffs to simulate live GAMEPLAY.
- "God" buffs restricted to God-mode users, calibrated to Nexus standards for balanced evaluation.
- Fixed Inspiration buffs on the frog—they now apply reliably, utilizing an exaggerated point allocation for broad variety (far exceeding entertainer capabilities, purely for testing breadth).
- Added option for capped Secret Research Data under Items → Misc, enabling safe experimentation.

v0.30.0

Doctor & Combat Medic Love Incoming!

• Augmentation Efficiency now correctly boosts the duration and strength of Doctor buffs—and it stacks beautifully with enhancer bonuses! • Bio-Suppression Efficiency finally does what it says on the tin: properly enhances the duration and potency of Combat Medic debuffs. • Fixed Doctor buffs so ALL stats now benefit from enhancers and modifiers (not just the first one—oops!). • Bacta Spray range bug squashed! It now works properly up to 15 meters—no more awkward close-up hugs required.

Tissue Engineering Just Got Tastier!

• 9 brand-new dual-stat tissue components added:

Combinations: Filling/Nutrition, Flavor/Filling, Nutrition/Flavor
- Tiers: Light (50%), Medium (45%), Heavy (40%) effectiveness
- Experiment on each attribute separately for maximum min-maxing!
- Usable in all food additives AND the new Spice Boosters (see below!)

• All bio-components received fresh names, descriptions, and appearances for better distinction—now with 21 unique schematics! • Schematic distribution adjusted to spread out the new hybrid goodies across your progression.

Spice Just Got a Whole Lot Deeper (and Riskier)!

Crafting Changes • Spice now mirrors food mechanics:

Nutrition → Buff strength
- Quantity → Stack size produced
- Flavor → Upper buff duration
- Quality Control → Controls downer severity (replaces Filling)

• Assembly/experimentation weights tuned, with special resource bonuses. • All spice descriptions & ingredients updated for better lore accuracy. • Optional Spice Boosters added (crafted via Bio-Engineer tissues—just like food additives)!

Usage & Effects • Every spice now has a unique upper buff + downer debuff with variable strength/duration based on quality. • New "Risk" rating on examine—tells you how nasty those side effects might get and overdose potential! • Overdose = incapacitation. Don't say I didn't warn you! • Same-type spice can be re-dosed (resets timer & buff, no stacking), even during downer—but downer duration stacks and pushes you toward overdose. • Downers can now apply states or DoTs! Chance, strength, and duration vary by spice quality (resistances apply). Effects reapply periodically. Regulation & Consequences • New Classification system (Schedule V → I). Higher schedules = heavier regulation. • Authorities will fine you based on quantity and classification—fines can get expensive! • Aligned faction? Lower catch chance and reduced fines. Choose your friends wisely. Looted Spice • Kwi Gland & Kliknik Extract updated to match crafted mechanics but with fresh, exciting stat rolls. • Variable stats on loot—buffs, downers, durations all randomized for that true black-market feel!

New & Improved Mods

• Movement mods on food/spice now static (no effectiveness scaling—balances with core movement calc). • XP modifiers now stack and work across all XP types. • Action Reduction mods now also lower Mind costs equally. • Brand-new skill mods added (with full character sheet support):

Lucky Miss • Self Healing Efficiency • Healing Cost • Decay Rate
- Healing Aggression • Resist All DoTs • State Defense • State Vulnerability
- Individual State Vulnerabilities (Intimidate/Stun/Dizzy/Blind)
- Punishing Blow Vulnerability • AOE Damage Vulnerability
- Battle Fatigue Chance • Wound Chance

UI Polish • Profession screen prerequisite/discipline links now open the correct trees. • Deselecting a skill properly clears the UI. • Food/Drink/Spice examine now groups buff (and downer) stats for easier reading. • Primary stat mods no longer hog the top of examine windows. Combat Tweaks • Self-inflicted DoTs no longer get bonus damage from your mods/BF. • DoTs now have 10% chance per tick to apply wounds/BF (down from 100%—much less brutal!).

Modifiable by new Wound/BF Chance mods.

Equipment • Disabled clothing now auto-unequips and can't be re-equipped (skill mods properly disabled).

Only affects clothing crafted after this patch.

v0.31.0

Teras Kasi Reborn__

Reports from Tansarii Station confirm that new arrivals are finally receiving proper training and medical aid from the moment they set foot on the platform. The ancient Teras Kasi arts have awakened with formidable new strength, meditation has evolved into a true healing discipline, and combat across the galaxy feels smoother and more balanced than ever.

- Brawler: Beginner’s Strike

Combat Tuning and Refinements

Action and Mind pools increased at low levels so abilities are actually usable from the start.
Regeneration rates for Action and Mind adjusted to better match the new dynamic GCD system.

Healing strength scales with your Meditation skill.

Hand Sampling Rebalanced__

Now costs Mind, scaled by Surveying skill and level.
Small chance (~0.5%) per sample to receive an Action or Mind wound.
Combined with the new wound-based regen penalty, long sessions may drain your pools — by design, so take a break and heal!

Toolbar & Feedback Upgrades

Abilities now clearly show as unusable (red cross) when your posture, state, or movement prevents use.
XP Tracker bar fixed (especially on Tansarii).
Fly-text popups added during healing attempts to explain failures (wrong target, out of range, no pools, etc.).
Action and mind costs on healing abilities and buffs adjusted.
Fixed Expertise/Class issues that prevented proper stat recalculation for armor and weapons.
