Necroing this thread because I have come to agree with this and want it myself.
I just want a place or places where I can buy the various companion gear that I earn when I select from mission rewards. I don't like having to neglect one comp over another, nor if I decide I wanted one set instead of another and change my mind I'm out of luck and can't do anything about it, and nor don't I like having to fill my cargo bay full of companion gear because I can't help but wonder if I might need them for RP someday.
They can be at the cantinas on the worlds that their earned at so people can grab them while getting the free ones during missions. Some generic droid that sells them would, I hope, be easy to write in.
Please make this happen.
