He is right where you come on the fleet station.

I submitted a bug report on it and they sent it up. Haven't heard if there is a fix or if it is considered a "known issue" yet.

Nah, I do the same. I usually use the blues unless I have a lot of extra mats, then I will try for the purple for alts or guildies.

No, you learn higher level skills from the trainer and you learn upgraded recipes by reverse engineering. He was asking about spilling up past gray recipes. Reverse engineering gives you upgraded recipes of the item you are reverse engineering. To get the higher recipes (green) you have to buy from a crew skill trainer. Then you make those to skill up and reverse engineer the product to try to learn the upgrade recipes.

It is random when you learn your new recipe. 4 times in a row I learned one on the very first reverse engineer and then sometimes it takes ~12-15.

I got this bug after I made an alt and got crew skills. Whenever I would go from my alt to my main, my main would end up with a 4th skill and it would either be underworld trading or scavenging (both skills my alt has).

You are crazy (sorry, had to do it). I love the companion concept, however, companion customization above and beyond what is in already would be awesome. It is very limited at the moment.

*shrug*. I have fun doing them. So much so that I even complete the dailies that are gray. They are a decent source of creds and xp ( when they aren't gray). I really thought they would suck being on rails, but I was pleasently surprised and I enjoy them.

Buy them from the trainer.

I feel the same about my artificing. I craft for my wife, my guildies, and my alts and between my artificing and my cybertech on my trooper, I can make most of the mods for everyone. I actually like doing it that way and find it useful.

The consular story is probably my favorite on the republic side. I loved the BH and iA stories on the imperial side.

I did the same. Credits are easy to come by so I would rather be self sufficient than rely on the ah for my mats. Space dailies give you more than enough creds while leveling to have mount money long before it is due. I was ready for my 40 mount at 32 while leveling all 3 of my crew skills.

I love sage game play. Why did you choose a sage if you wanted a melee class?

As a seer spec, I love using Fess, however, as stated above, another good strategy is to use someone that can kill them fast while keeping them healed as opposed to soaking damage while you heal them. I want to try Nadia in that respect to see if it works as well.

I had problems soloing him at 31 but after doing space dailies and getting 32 I solod him EASY at 32 with Fess. All you need to do is interrupt his one shot kill skill and you and Fess can get him down quick. It was amazing how much difference there was between 31 & 32.
