I've been having the same issue. It doesn't even give me the option to scroll right or left to move the screen which is odd. I'm using Internet Explorer, not sure what version. I have to set the zoom to 75% to see the whole screen which makes everything nice and tiny.

+1 internets for you. I love the Incredibles.

A progress bar for when the launcher updates would sure be nice. The Launcher has been updated twice now in the last few days and I never know if it's going to take 10 minutes or a couple hours with my slow ISP.

Thanks for the suggested builds, I look forward to trying them out.

I'm starting to regret the whole "a face tattoo would totally be awesome" notion I had when I created my toon. It's to the point I wear a helmet everywhere now. I know how Iron Mike must feel.

Is there a more DPS with an occasional heal thrown out hybrid build that works well? I'm running mostly solo, mostly PVE and I'm looking for a good build that pumps out the damage while also having some good heals for myself and Aric. Thanks,

As it happens I just have some extra room in my cargo hold for your stuff since you won't be needing it. I'll see it gets put to good use, I'm loving life as a smuggler.

I've yet to play one of the stealth classes, but I'm sure that helps alot sneaking around and all. One thing to consider though, Most every quest has a "bonus" part of it that has you killing the aforementioned trash mobs. Doing those bonus quests generally nabs you three extra planet commendations per mission which goes a long way in gearing up all those orange armors we all like so much. You can totally skip the bonus missions, but as a solo slinging sabotuer I'd rather lob a few nades and spend an extra few minutes blowing things up than sneaking past it all. I'm just saying...

I actually rushed through Alderaan and even skipped most of it to get to the end of my Act 1 missions. I hit the last battle at either level 30 or 31 and while difficult and close at the end, still managed to drop him on the first try. Bowdaar didn't make it though, although I think he's run with me long enough to know he's not going to make it in most big battles.

Captain Teksys Maverick. I had wanted Ranger but that was taken, Maverick is more smugglerish anyways.

Scavanging, Slicing and Underworld Trading. Keep at least three companions out on missions for metals in UT and then slicing every foot locker and scavanging every node I run across in missions. After a night of playing I head to the GTN and sell everything. Seems to keep me pretty well outfitted and the ship fueled up.

The Terenthium Barrage Jacket is a reward for "Trouble in Deed" on Coruscunt. I'd be interested in hearing if there are any other known rewards for +2/+4 heroics that make them worth doing. I generally skip them as I run solo most of the time, but would definitely make the effort if it was well worth it rewarding a nice orange piece of equipment.

When do you get your first ship?
