On December 7th, 2005 at 4:00 AM PDT all U.S. and European galaxies will be taken down for server maintenance and a live update.
Combat
* Added a "Shoot-Through-Friendlies" Functionality for combat targeting . This should improve your play experience when fighting in a group, both for combat and for healing. For more information regarding this change, click here .
GCW
* Faction Bases may now be entered by enemy faction members, even with active turrets.
* Faction Bases will no longer spawn NPCs when a terminal is disabled.
Quests
* Experience Points for quests up to level 20 have been increased.
* When earning experience points from quests, you can only earn up to 50% of the total number of experience points needed to reach the next level. For example, it will always take at least 2 quests to earn 1 combat level.
* Jabba's Palace/Bib Fortuna: Romo Vax will now spawn with the correct name. Finding him near the Sennex bunker during the quest will be much easier now.
* Jabba's Palace/Bib Fortuna: We have increased the availability of Romo Vax. This should also make Romo Vax easier to find.
* Bug Hunt Quest: The waypoints to infested areas will now be properly given during the quest.
* Mayor Mikdanyell's quests to visit Purvis, Paewp and Entha have been changed to include a final visit to the NPC. This will help everyone find the next leg of the quest.
User Interface
* Pressing the ESC key will clear your target box. This simply clears what you have targeted. If you are "moused over" a target, you will re-target the Object, Creature or NPC. Also, pressing the ESC key will only clear your target, not end combat.
* Corrected the mouse-mode toggling on the Character Sheet. Closing the Character Sheet will no longer close all other screens, such as your inventory screen.

Note: To avoid 'click, click, click, click,...' simply hold down your 'basic attack' button to keep a 'steady' attack going. It doesn't have to be key mashing.. I've actually used my key mashing less since NGE.

And it looks like Publish 26 will be speant getting most of the buggy quests taken care of... but that isn't all it's doing... it's just an update to let us know some of the things being worked on in Publish 26:
Greetings!
I just wanted to get a look ahead at some of the quest updates for Publish 26.
There are a couple of things to keep in mind:
We did some overall work on the technical stuff that makes quests work. These changes should make many quests work much better.
This is not the full list of quest fixes. These are just some of the ones that are ready for Publish 26 (ETA Dec 13). There are many more in the pipeline.
With that being said, here is the latest news on quest updates:
Anger and Harmony: For the Jedi Progression Quest, "Anger and Harmony", the twisted creatures that you have to kill to complete this quest won't be stuck inside a structure anymore. You should now be able to target them.
Bestine Jobs: When you take this quest from Captain Jasha, he will give you the waypoints to the Banthas now.
Bone Gnasher: When you complete the Bone Gnasher quest for Tori, she will tell you to go back to Reimos. Now, when she does this, you will get a waypoint that points you to the next quest.
Darklighter Cache: On Tatooine, the Darklighter Quest that asks you to click on the target terminals, but when you do, it gives you a message that says, "That object does not interest you". You should now be able to click on the terminals and finish your progress on the quest. Also, if you let the timer run out, you should be able to go back to the NPC Darci and get the quest again. If you want the quest to show up on the quest helper, just open the quest journal and it should appear in the quest helper window.
Dem Bones, Rill Thing and Might Mites had an issue where you would be told to go to an infested location to kill the critters. All three of these quests will now give you the correct waypoints for the infested locations.
Force Sensitive Essentials V: When you complete this level 38 quest, you will receive your awards which include a Lightsaber Crafting Toolkit, A first generation Lightsaber, a two-handed first generation lightsaber, a double bladed first generation lightsaber and a Force Sensitive Ring (which is still rewarded as part of the quest).
Kill Romo Vax: When you are given the quest to kill Romo Vax, you'll get the correct waypoint and Romo will spawn in the right location.
Lar's Homestead: When you disarm the bomb for Zef, he gives you a datapad. When you click on it, you should get your next quest.
Mark of the Hero: The Squill skull should spawn properly.
Rebel Bantha Hunt: when you complete this quest by killing the Bantha's you will get a message now letting you know that it's complete and Droma Ordo will give you your quest reward.
Repo Man: The hostile NPCs Daezii Mae, Buhba and Kleatus will all be more available so you can complete the quest (spawning has been increased).
Rescue Karl Eckener: On this Naboo Quest, Hugo Eckener will offer a rescue quest. You can complete this quest now to follow the story. Previously, Hugo would offer other quests that would skip the rescue quest. Now, Hugo will offer you the quest you need. You can go back to Hugo to get the quest again if you need to.
Starting the Search: You should be able to speak to Barrezz again so you can accept the quest.

Important Note:
Just testing the dbl xp. It is working but the xp above the npc kill will still show normal xp gain. I checked it with the lvl bar and we are getting the dbl xp credit for kill.
Ka'eri just told me she's getting dbl xp on quests too... but I'm sure the quest xp cap still applies.

For target through friendly... it does work. What you'll see in game is the 'spiral' radial select circle when a friend gets in front of you. Basically your attacks will be 'assiting' on attack on that person. Don't think it's not working because it is.
All ya have to do is hold down the attack button and go. Even works for melee.
"Give me one ping. One ping only, please," Sean Connery in Hunt for Red October.
In this case... Click once, once only for your attacks. Melee still do damage while moving and your basic attack will continue to cycle. Avoid the 'click, click, click.... '
