Actually, MC was not even in at launch it was the first patch.

Not sure if this has been linked but GeorgZoeller Crew Skills -> Magenta Adegan Crystals (for Magenta Lightsaber) The Magenta Crystal does in fact exist, but it is not acquired through Reverse Engineering. At the present time, it could be classified as one of the rarest items in the game. While I am not going to give any more information on how, where or from whom it may be acquired, I want to debunk the idea that you have to reverse engineer endgame gear to get it so people don't do stuff they regret.

I had that prob. left lvled once or twice and it worked. I think there is a certain lvl you have to be to enter.
