Bioware delivering next patch earlier than i expected. Happy Holidays for us. You still have time to test out the patch on  the Public Test Server, but only for the next few days. BioWare will launch the update during the Scheduled Maintenance window on Tuesday, December 11, so time to speed up my fleet commendations and WZ commendations grind!

Check out the announcement below:

Scheduled Maintenance for Game Update 1.6: December 11th, 2012

Game Update 1.6 introduces a new Warzone, Ancient Hypergate, where you can team up with other players to fight for control of powerful energy pylons to unleash the power of the ancient Gree hypergate against your enemies. Six new Heroic Space Missions are also available for each faction. These missions will be a challenge even for the greatest pilots in the galaxy!

Please Note: PvP Warzones and Space Missions are available to Subscribers at no additional cost. Players without a subscription havelimited free access per week and may purchase additional access in the Cartel Market.
