For me that would be almost as bad as the current implementation. This would still totally kill all the sense of progress and achievement (and challenge from earlier tiers). Now if you could only buy / use the parts only after completing the earlier missions in combination to your suggestion might be a decent solution. Offering few of the items only as prize for completing certain missions and maybe one or two only with comms would be even better. Somehow it seems Bioware completely forgot the basic rules of keeping a game interesting and are only going for a money grab. Buying better gear with grinded creds or a credit card is definitely the least interesting way to progress in a game.

I was really looking forward to the new space missions but these ship gear packs ruined the whole update for me. It's not just the new missions, in a sense the whole space subgame is now ruined by being too greedy. Where is the sense of progress and achievement when you can get the best items for 10 bucks. This is the first time I've actually considered changing my 6 month sub to something shorter. They promised and promised but its now pretty clear they don't understand where the line should be drawn. This put a serious dent in my faith for the future of the game.

Thank You! This certainly makes me happy. Now I have a reason to get the Bloodguard set too

Played sharpshooter since the beginning, actually changed to dirty fighter few weeks ago. Answers based on sharpshooter spec. 1. How do you think your Gunslinger spec is perceived by other classes? PVP: High damage spec but pretty easy to kill. Low mobility. PVE: Good damage with excellent burst. Challenging spec to play efficiently. 2. How do you perceive your own spec? On ability level sharpshooter is a fun class to play, but the last update hit sharpshooter too hard. Sharpshooter really shone with stacked armor debuffs and in situations that needed high burst. Now one them is gone and the other took a significant hit. Currently can't really justify keeping my favorite spec.

I would add my name to the list. Not a current WP7 user, but my next phone most likely will be. Really like the Lumia series. So, a WP7 security key app please
