Uit de meeste recente patch notes op NOVA blijkt dat men bezig zijn met de "Imperial Crackdown" update

Imperial Crackdown

Imperial Crackdown: The Empire will be a more active part of the Galaxy now, hunting down Rebels, making sure Imperials are abiding by the law and searching for contraband. If a player has contraband, the Imperial Troopers may or may not be able to find it. Depending how much a player has and what they have will effect it, but when they do, there will be consequences for Rebels, Imperials and Neutrals. As a result, Rebel recruiters have taken their faction terminals and gone into hiding. They are no longer flagrantly out in the open and the Empire is looking for them. Word on the streets say that some have gone into hiding into Cantinas and that's where the Empire has gone to shakedown people for information.

The Emperor has decreed that sliced weapons, spice, Rebel faction equipment and (of course) Rebels are what his troops should be focusing their crackdown efforts on as they pursue his mandate of eliminating the Rebel Alliance. The biggest obstacle they face are the smugglers. It has been rumored that smugglers can help cloak Rebels and contraband from Imperial searches in Cantinas and can escape the ever-searching sensors of wilderness probots and have made hefty profits in smuggling contraband.

Leuke update was dat - kan me herinneren als je een stad binnenkwam gelijk een paar stormtroopers in je nek had die je even controleerde op contraband en sliced items 🙂
