THE EMPIRE'S NEW CLOTHES

Star Wars: Galaxies has revealed the first pictorial details on its "Boy oh boy, was this ever broken" combat upgrade.

According to movie canon, certain player races cannot wear certain pieces of armor. For example, Trandoshans cannot wear gloves or boots, and Wookiees cannot wear boots. This has led to a situation where these races can get one-shot killed in combat because they have a form of what is commonly known as an "armor hole." This happens because on a basic level of combat calculations, the body was divided into multiple hit locations. Once a target has been determined to have been hit by a weapon the game determines what portion of the body has been hit, for example, the hands, bracer and biceps were all valid and separate hit locations.

Obviously, this is the same problem those ill-fated Stormtroopers face.

Be careful with this revamp though. Apparently they had the Sims 2 Noodlesoother in a galaxy far, far away.
