I have played since early access and am still a subscriber.

There is a legacy unlock

No , PvP needs to stay.

I am having a difficult time trying to understand what all the complaints are about, from either the PvP or PvE perspective. Throughout all the time from launch up to now, there have been many changes. Each time a change is made, the complaints run wild on the forums. Each set of changes affected game play and players needed to adjust to the changes., and they did adjust. I can't think of any changes, bugs not included, that made the game impossible to play. I have leveled characters from start to max at various times and have always been able to complete my class story & planetary quests and participate in FP's, Ops, and PvP. I can still do this right now. Did some of the changes irk me because they affected a particular ability that I liked using, yes. Did any of the changes make the game unplayable, no. Will future changes irk me, probably. Will they make the game unplayable, probably not. will I adjust to the changes, absolutely.

It should also be noted that the grade 6 mission tier includes only 2 levels, 49-50, whereas the others include 5+.

You have to purchase the expansion.

I must add my voice to those supporting this. I gather crafting mats as much or more than the next player and usually do so for myself, especially when it comes to the rare mats. Those I don't use for gearing up my characters and comps, I give away to my guild mates. If you were previously making a ton of credits on these mats, then find something else to sell. There are lots of opportunities out there to make credits in game.

Welcome back.

I can see both sides to this. I haven't times any of the taxi trips, but I don't recall any taking longer than a minute. I realize that this seems like an eternity for some, but none of the taxi trips are very long, and they are certainly much shorter than other options available; personal speeder or running.

I have been doing a lot of reverse engineering on the new equipment; Armoring, Mods, Enhancements, Augments, Implants, and Earpieces. For all of the new items, the rate has been fine except for Earpieces; the rate has been hovering around 10% (a guild mate of mine is experiencing the same issue). Out of 228 attempts, we have a combined 24 successes for a rate of 0.105 (10.5%). This only holds for earpieces. the rate for the other items seems to be OK. Has anyone else experienced this low rate on the earpieces? Before anyone posts about the random process, I do understand how randomness works.

If you are considering the cybertech route, get the Engineering Droid Sensor to gain the +5 cybertech critical. If you want to be able to craft your own item inserts, I suggest one cybertech (Armor & Mods), one artifice (Hilts and enhancements), and one armtech (Barrels) The supporting gathering skills are Scavenging, Archaeology, Underworld Trading, Treasure Hunting, and Investigation. If you also want to craft your own implants, you will need to have Biochem with Bioanalysis and Diplomacy. Earpieces are crafted by cybertechs. Also, HK-51 and Treek get a +1 crafting critical on all items crafted.

I think that being able to send out 6 is a great idea. As for having one companion to accompany you on missions, several of the classes get their companions fairly late and can easily get to the point where they can send out more companions than they have.

Medical Supplies missions continue up to grade 9 (Level 51-55). If you have just obtained the ability to run a particular level mission, it may be a bit limited. level up a bit and see if other missions appear.

For grade 1 through 6, you can crit on all missions. Grade 9 missions only crit on Bountiful or Rich.

I see many players responding with suggestions of how to alter when the PvP portion of the conquest system grants the points. Instead of focusing on this, wouldn't it make more sense to have a PvE option that earns a similar number of points for the same amount of game time spent? This would satisfy both the PvP players and PvE players. Just for clarity, I am not personally interested in the Conquest system at all and am thus not affected by this.

I have a fully unlocked Nar Shaddaa stronghold, have my rooms decorated in a way that they look fairly full, and I didn't use all the hooks.

The demand has shifted to items related to Housing and Guild ships. I have been playing since launch and by nature I am a pack rat. I have 20 alts on the server I play on and have cargo bays full of mats for crafting. Some of the mats that were previously useless are now used to craft items for housing etc. The prefab kits, war items for conquest, and the materials used to craft them are in demand right now. I made well over 10 mil in the last week by selling excess mats, prefabs, etc related to housing and conquest. With the credits I have made and ones I had saved up I can now afford to by my very own guild capital ship, not that I want one, but I could.

For the level 49-50 missions, the only way to get Rich missions is by a sliced mission drop. However, unlike the level 51-55 missions, the all the missions will result in purple mats on a critical for levels 1 to 6.

Your inventory has three tabs, the items tab, the mission tab,. and the currency tab. The Matrix Shards you have collected are in the mission tab.

What you are planning is just fine. You will need to keep track of the materials. As was stated, the higher level inserts take more time so plan ahead and have them ready so you don't have to slow down your game play. I have found that I remain about 4-5 levels over the planet with resting xp and boosts so I craft basically one set of inserts per planet, and have the next set ready to go for when I arrive on the next.

When trying to obtain Grade 5 crafting missions, the only slicing missions that yield grade 5 missions are the moderate and abundant level 5 missions. I usually try to run the 1075 and 1135 slicing missions. The rich 1930 and 2050 will net you a grade 6 mission.

Have you tried checking out the server population guides on sites such as http://www.torstatus.net/

I was wondering just how much improvement you gain from increasing the presence on your characters. I have completed all the companion dialog for all the companions from both factions and want to know how much improvement I get in real terms.
