For this week's Star Wars: The Old Republic Friday Update, BioWare announced additional updates for the Bounty Hunter class. Additional information on the Rattataki species is now available, as well as an analysis of the Kuat Drive Yards D5-Mantis Patrol Craft, and Mako the Bounty Hunter's Slicer Companion receives an update as well. Lastly, the Mercenary and Powertech specializations were added to the Bounty Hunter Holonet page. BioWare also revealed details for PAX East via the Official Forum for fans eagerly waiting the convention.
Yesterday's Dissection of the Bounty Hunter Video is already available for those interested. Aurebesh Translations, Screenshot Dissection, and Screenshots/Concept Art from the update are contained in the Media Galleries below. Hit the jump for official yellow posts, video embeds of both of the trailers, and more after the jump.
Update: Stephen Reid's update-and-a-half comment was right with the announcement of the Deceived Novel Trailer. The post features details on the upcoming Deceived Novel as well as a tidbit of what looks like a new cinematic trailer in the making. Deceived will be available on March 22nd in US Retail Stores but if you are looking to seal your copy you can preorder the book online via Amazon and an assortment of others listed in the article.

The technology your Bounty Hunter uses is up to you; choose to specialize in prototype shield and heavy armor technology to become an unstoppable Powertech, or spend those hard-earned credits on the most destructive arsenal available as a Mercenary.

PAX East begins in just one week and Star Wars: The Old Republic will be there!
Inside the main PAX East exhibition hall, visitors to Booth 912 will be among the first in the world to play the mid-game Republic Flashpoint, Taral V! Taking the role of a Trooper, Smuggler, Jedi Knight or Jedi Consular, you'll team up with other players in an extended hands-on gameplay experience. This is a challenging mission which even MMO veterans may find difficult, but we will prepare everyone who plays with a tactical briefing at the booth.
Conquered Taral V? Experienced every Origin World? There's still more. Throughout all three days of PAX East we'll be giving presentations of Star Wars: The Old Republic from our booth stage, including live Q&A sessions with Developers from the BioWare Austin team. Ask James Ohlen (Lead Designer) and Daniel Erickson (Lead Writer), as well as other team members, your burning questions.
If you can't make the trip to Boston, never fear... we'll be keeping you up to date from the show floor via our Community Forums, our Twitter feed and via our official Facebook page.

Posted 3/5/2011 5:50:59 AMDoes that mean the Yoda-ian from the Taral V flashpoint trailer is named Oteg? The trailer depicted it as the Master setting up the flashpoint, and Reid's remark mentions a Master Oteg that also sets up Taral V. Weird odd name for a Yoda-ian, doesn't match up with Yoda/Yaddle/Minch/Vandar Tokare. The oddness of the name sounds more like it's from a random name generator.

Posted 3/5/2011 12:09:24 AM"How many players can the booth accommodate at one time? Will we play the game in groups or will seats be filled as players get up? Will playtime be on a timer and if so what is length of the play time? Also, thanks for bringing SWTOR to the east coast this year."
Thanks for having us, East Coast. (Is it 'East Coast'? Or 'east coast'? I never get that.)
We're going to keep quiet for now on how many players the booth can accommodate, as we don't want our rivals changing their plans.
Suffice to say it's a significant number. We have a 30ft by 50ft booth (plus the stage booth), and have to save space for queuing and the like, but we've tried to fit a decent number of stations to play on there. The majority of the stations will be setup to play Taral V.
For Taral V, you'll be playing in groups, and we'll be swapping groups in and out on a schedule. You'll have 45 minutes to get as far as you can through the Flashpoint. There's a certain boss that if you defeat, well... you'll get rewarded. Details will be revealed at the show.
In total, Taral V can be up to 90 minutes of playtime. That's impractical for the show for a number of reasons, so we chose to give you an extended demo of 45 minutes instead. It'll give you a nice long look at mid-level content that's group specific.
