My favourite so far has been a Prototype Powertech. I am currently playing a Tactics Vanguard which is lvl 39. I liked the story for the Powertech, but I think I have enjoyed the trooper story more, but that is my preference. As to the visuals of various skills, some I prefer the Prototype animation and some the Tactics. I think initially Powertech has an advantage due to it getting a healer companion first up, but the Troopers 2nd comanion is a healer, so not much disparity there. Though I rather like catman as a companion.

Thanks for posting this, very useful information. As a returning player I wasn't aware of or had forgotten the site you linked so will take a look around for other useful information. Cheers

Nice outlay of what I think the situation is.

Sorry got a bit off topic with my last reply, I'm at work, so cannot give exact details, but my Sniper buffed has around 1919 cunning, yet bonus damage is around 530( this is from Sorc buff only due to an alt, I cannot remember what it is when I get the War buff as well ). At a guess you need more power, your crit chance is very high( mine is 36% ), but surge isn't( mine is 64% ). You do play an Engineering build though, I don't know enough about these to speculate what would be ideal, just giving a comparison( my build is 2/8/31 )

I was interested in what you wrote about the Energy Surge Device, having spare coms I have thought about getting one, but have been waiting for more information before doing so. Though you are speculating it was interesting to read. Would be nice if someone had some hard data regarding this item and posting it here.

I think they should make it free for say the first 3 months that the service is in place. This will allow people to migrate until they find a new home. The only problem with making it free is the service may become overloaded, charging a price would stop people jumping around on a whim. Regardless of whether it costs or not, the sooner it is in place the better.

Thanks for the update, much appreciated

They are not confused, they are referring to the modifications to insert into orange armour: Armour and mod slots. Thats how I read it anyway

Transfers to the Oceania servers will be available at a later date? I am asking as I would prefer to transfer when guildies of mine from other area's of the globe can also transfer.

I think you need to get over it actually, its not I that started the thread to complain.

What Bob said, be grateful us from down under get it first, there are many from else where that would love to xfer off low pop servers.

Not sure how many points it takes to get Cull, but as soon as you can, then I think it becomes worth while. 2/8/31 seems to be popular, I would think getting the 2 from MM and the 5 from the bottom row of Engineering first might be worthwhile, but not necesary( a bit of guess work here ).

Wouldnt have any issue if they removed cover. I use it as its part of the class, but if it wasn't, I would be fine with that. I do play a Lethal/Eng build so I don't have to use it so much, some people really seem to like it though. Possibly BW could change the trees so mm snipers get to keep there cover and Lethality does not( doubt it would happen though, to much work involved, removing it all together would be far easier I think ).

The sensor slot can be bought with coms from Dromund Kas, I think thats where I got mine from, its not the only planet where it can be found either. The only annoying about modding Scorpio is not getting an orange weapon from the Bel Savis daily quest( Lights out I think its called, just guessing as I'm at work ).

I like Scorpio, I really like the bots attitude, also I group with a healer friend fairly regular who brings a dps companion for dailies. Edit: I'm a sniper
