I saw nothing about it on the live blogs or the official site.

Anyone see anything?

I didn't see anything either, same deal. I was following the live blog too. Only thing I've really heard is that you will be able to do anything you could do in the movies, and more. Also, the game is currently in pre-alpha phase, who knows how close to alpha they actually are.

I'd expect very little real information to come out this week.  All of the features going up on IGN, Gamespot, and Massively are basically fluff-piece re-hashes of what was said in the Bioware video.

They're being very tight-lipped, as they always are.  This announcement was purely to fan the publicity fires and get the fanboi testosterone going; there's very little of substance available to the public at this stage.

The FAQ states it will beannounced at a later date

I have no more info than anyone else, but judging from the emphasis that is being placed on story driven content my guess is that an open player crafted economy will not be a big focus. From the info that is on swtor.com right now it sounds like this will be far from a sandbox.

You can bet that it will be very simple and non-immersive.

Yes it will be very simple, mindless, and stupid.

The closest thing to crafting we'll see is getting weapon parts from quests and maybe even mobs.   and mashing them all into one piece.

Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it.

I've read the FAQs where does it say crafting and the economy will be announced at a later date?

I think you are right.

I'd say take Kotor II semi crafting system enhance it a bit and voila.

Also they said no moistue harvester if that's a hint.
