• Increased the recharge timer for the Millennium Falcon's special ability.

• Reduced Millennium Falcon's shields and health.

I dont know about you guys, but I really like these two.

Its really heartening to see Petro following up their game, even though I never doubted them.

Wow, the game hasn't even been released yet, (officially) and already a patch! Amazing! ;D The guys at Pandemic need to learn a few things from Petro, cause only just today has the first SWBF2 patch been released and it's a crappy one at that. I think we can expect excellent support from these guys in the future!

[Zer_Teron]

• Disabled the Fast Forward and Play buttons in Multiplayer games.

 

They just NOW remembered to disable that 

[Gen.Vader]

Increased Vader's TIE Advanced fighter to have 50% more health and double the firepower

 

i like....i like ALOT!!! ;D ;D

[Saracen]

• Corrected multiple issues with the cinematic camera.

 

To make my upcoming review a bit fairer. I'll review the game with the patch. Then I probably will not be moaning about the camera.... like I and many previews/reviews have already. But w00t!  ;D

[Teradyn_pff]

Hmmm, no mention of fixing the accuracy issues for the Imperial ships...  maybe that was fixed in the initial version?
