    So I grouped with a guy, and was notified he was in a different instance of Coruscant, and asked if I wanted to shuttle to it. Button click, loading screen and I was switched. Kinda neat

    I remember that part being dodgy in the beta, but it sure is nice when it works.

    If it doesn't, it's the little dropdown on the bottom right section of the Map screen.

    Totally missed that. The UI has a lot of little hidden things that aren't apparent.

    @mosdl: Yup. True for pretty well any MMO I've played. And it only gets worse at higher resolutions. ;) Took me quite a while to find the Codex entry that catalogues all your discoveries on a planet. (It's buried near mission Logs)

    I usually consider Cryptic games in pretty high regard for their design of maps and minimaps, but TOR's is definitely better than STO, for example.

    For my Jedi there's sometimes a hologram I have to call up to talk to somebody, and in beta I couldn't find it. But now it's a big blue thing above your portrait. So they're getting better at making things on the UI more apparent :P
