Star Wars Galaxies Friday Feature

Sony’s official Star Wars Galaxies website has been updated with a new Friday Feature, this time taking a closer look at the Commando profession.

The kill meter is a new feature available to commandos if they spend expertise points to gain the ability. When a commando gets into combat and kills an opponent, the kill meter is displayed. The kill meter will appear as an icon with a number over it.

As you rack up kills, the meter’s number will count your kills and change from yellow to red. The highest amount of kills the meter can have displayed is 50.

Each kill on the meter increases the potency of kill meter expertise abilities. For example, if a commando spent a point on the Killing Grimace expertise, each kill point on the meter would increase weapon damage by 1%. A total of 10 kills would increase weapon damage by 10%.

Kills on the kill meter decay over time, so once you start rolling, don’t stop! The more kills on the meter causes the bonuses to decay more quickly.
