To access the new targeting options, open your keymap options and select the key bindings for "Toggle Safety" and "Set Intended Target."
Jedi Expertise: Give your character more depth with the new Expertise system. Starting at level 10, Jedi will earn Expertise points that can be spent on specialized Expertise abilities! This new feature allows you to develop a variety of different Light and Dark Jedi abilities for your character. As you continue to advance in levels, you will earn more points you can use to improve your existing skills and even earn a wide variety of new skills. High level Jedi will have the opportunity to allocate many Expertise points based on your level.

Bounty Hunter Expertise: Bounty Hunter Expertise is also coming your way in Chapter 2. First Strike, Defensive Tank, and Sustained Damage are all different ways that you can specialize your Bounty Hunter using the Expertise System.

Static Galactic Civil War Bases: Following the battle in Restuss, both Imperial and Rebel forces have intensified their efforts to oppose one another.

Across the Galactic Empire, familiar places like Talus, Naboo and Corellia are now the spot of heated conflict as both sides attempt to control them.

If there are no off-planet missions, it will offer same-planet missions that are far away. If there are no missions far away from your current location, it will randomly assign you a PvP mission.
SpyNet Operatives have gone under-ground; it has become too dangerous for them to be caught out in the cities alone. Because of this, Bounty Hunters will no longer have to find a SpyNet Operative. SpyNet Operatives will now contact Bounty Hunters via comlink.
When the SpyNet Operative contacts you, they will give you either the location of your mark, the planet and the bio-signature of the mark or just the bio-signature depending on your level.

• Tier 2: The operative will give you the Bio Signature, followed by a second communication informing Bounty Hunters which planet to start their hunt.

For anyone who is currently on a Bounty Hunter mission and hasn't talked to a SpyNet Operative yet, you will receive a com-link message shortly after logging in.
