The folks at Star Wars Galaxies have published the patch notes for Game update 5, which fully integrates voice chat into the game, adds an in-game web browser, makes several changes to the Beast Master, and more

Highlights:

• Integrated voice chat, in-game web browser, beast master and munitions trader updates, Create a Painting contest winners, and the 60 month veteran reward.

Integrated Voice Chat:

• With the release of Game Update 5, fully integrated voice chat can now be found in Star Wars Galaxies. Voice chat can now be used to chat with your guild and groups at no additional cost.
• The integration of the in-game voice chat brings several brand new UI elements: the Voice Bar, the Voice Users Window, and a new voice tab in the Options window.
• After a user joins a group or a guild, they are automatically given access to the associated channel and it will appear in the Voice Bar Channel Selection List. When they leave the group or guild, the channel is removed from their list and they will be disconnected if they were in the channel at the time.
• Users can also invite other players to their own private chat channels using the radial menu or /voice invite command.
