Star Wars Galaxies: Image Designer Revamp Revealed

In today's Test Center patch notes, Grant Rogue_5 McDaniel revealed some specifics about the new Image Designer content.

Image Designer Revamp

[li]Image Design Building (tents): The new Image Designer tents located in Theed, Moenia, Coronet, Bestine and Vreni Island are now active. These locations are where players will go for Stat Migration and Image Design.
[li]Stat Migration: Image Designers now have the sole ability to migrate player stats faster than the previous default migration rates. The process will take 10 minutes and requires the Image Modification Booth located inside the ID tents. This functionality has been revoked from the general player base and now requires an Image Designer.
[li]Image Modification Booth: Image Designer booths grant the ability to facilitate the new stat migration aspect of the profession and reduces the amount of time needed to perform an ID change in half.
[li]Holo-Emotes: A new type of "holo emote" particle effects have been added to the game. Image Designers will sell these limited use, special use emotes to players. There are 16 unique holo-emotes that represent a "holographic" image for a short period of time.
[li]Increased Colors for all Palettes: Hair color, Skin/Fur Color, Lip Color, Cosmetics, Eye Color, Markings and the existing tattoos will all have new colors added to their current palette choices.
[li]Price Information on UI: During the Image Modification session, the Image Designer and client can now agree to a price for the displayed design changes. Only upon selecting the confirm button for the Image Designer's changes in the "after" window will the client be billed.
[li]Configurable Views: The Image Designers will have complete control for panning or zooming in to their work for detailed views.
[li]Dynamic, Real-Time Updating to Clients Interface: The image designers and their client's interface windows will be linked and dynamically synchronized. Both players will see the "before" and "after" images as it is happening.
[li]Image Designer Bug Fixes: Changing a client's hair style from bald can now be undone, eye shapes and eye angles now alter the proper areas, and ID's have the ability to change all male freckles. (i.e. zabrak and twi'lek).

I hope everyone noticed that Image Design services will now be required for stat migration. That's a fairly significant change to the game mechanics. It's also been a bit controversial on the official forums. You can check thread on the official forums for the full discussion.
