Im aktuellen Dev Diary von "Star Wars Galaxies" beschäftigt sich Game Designer Mark Halash mit dem bald in Spiel kommenden Beast Mastery-Skill, an dem er seit geraumer Zeit arbeitet.

Since beast mastery will be available to all classes through expertise abilities, I'll need to make sure that the point system acts as a proper "control valve" based on how much or how little expertise you invest on the skills. In other words I need to ensure there is a good game balance so that it isn't possible to achieve say, 90% of a creature's potential power by spending 20% of your available points. Because of this, I've designed the Expertise tree to be much more linear in nature than some of the expertise for the main professions.
