There was a droid I found on Taris guarding an Archive, I want THAT as my ship droid. Yes, a voice/vocab changer would be the largest benefit to the droid, even more than combat capabilities. Every damn time I walk past him he has something obnoxious to say. I hope that when they do the upgrade, the stop him from defaulting to punching at the least. As hilarious as it is, he is always slow to realize I need healing not punching right now!

Short short version: Skip Phantom Menace entirely, it serves no purpose and hurts the entire trilogy First film needs to be Obiwan and Anakin buddy film, with Padme as secondary Add a rogue/straight-man character. Either Owen Lars or Bail Organa No Jar-Jar, No Death Star Plans, No lava surfing Clones on BOTH sides, so calling them THE CLONE WARS makes sense.

What I want for my ship more than anything else: The ability to name it! It's not as interesting cruising around in a Sith Fury Class Interceptor when I could be in "The Stormseeker" A lot of the other appearance ideas in this thread would be a great improvement as well. Especially an external skin, if for no reason other than to make space combat across alts less repetitive.

While I love this set up, I still wish I had the same look without the red highlights http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a99/vestras/SWTOR/Screenshot_2012-01-12_21_52_38_166738.jpg Any ideas where I could find it?

/signed This would help me a TON with my alts, and getting gear sorted out faster. I figure since a Legacy bank is still a ways off, at the very least let us cue up crafting from any character that way I can see if this alt has an upgrade for this one and such.

Droid Class, but you choose your AC from the get go (Protocol: healing/buff , Assault: DPS/Tank, Utility: Mixed/debuff). As long as I can play as that ancient Tarisan droid, I would be happy. Melee non-Force user, with one AC for weapons, one for Teras Ksai. Presence based class that has a non-companion "pet" as well as their regular companions. Very buff heavy and procs group bonuses based on presence. And Mirror classes to an extent (with some redesigns) Imperial Pirate (Smuggler) - two-weapon fighters (M/R, M/M, R/R) Imperial Soldier (Trooper) - Medium/Heavy armor and rifles Republic Spy (Agent) - Stealth and Gadgets Republic Peacekeeper (BH) - Cryotech and shotguns

I am working to assemble an all purple colored set. I need to jot down the names of he pieces I have thus far... I'm also considering loading up on some of the social armor, depends where I decide to shop.

Thank you for this people! The lack of Weapon previewing in game drives me insane. Now I know I need to get myself to Tatooine and get an E-313. You guys rock!

BT-7 Thunderclap Exterior: 7 Interior: 7 Overall: 7 Comments: On first inspection, I hated the BT-7. The lines were a mess, and the look just fell apart for me. But then I got to fly her, and a lot of that changed. I realized the ship is actually a beefed up B-Wing in essence, and that was enough to make me much more accepting of the ship overall. The interior has all the rooms you would want and laid out well (I especially like the briefing room). The main failing of the ship is the cockpit which just looks awful. The Captain's chair is staring at a bulkhead, there should be more combat stations, and the outside looks just sad. I would have preferred a cockpit module that flowed a lot better with the rest of the hull. Positives: S-foils, Republic/Corellian design scheme, fully functional interior, Girly pics on the lockers Negatives: Awful cockpit module (Int and ext), unsatisfying blaster sound,

Semi-related question: As a Shieldtech Vanguard, what cell should I switch to if I am filling a DPS slot for the party in a pinch? Do I stick with Ion, or swap to another?

A Bounty hunter takes care of things, Like a Boss! A Trooper leads an elite crack commando unit, WITH GUNS! Both rock. But I think BH has the advantage

I'm Vestras, and I am an altaholic. I've been off the wagon for...ever... at present: Sorcerer, 33 Mercenary, 24 Juggernaut, 13 Sniper, 12 Sage, 14 Vanguard, 24 Knight, 9 Smuggler, 9 + Spare Trooper, 8 Spare Hunter, 6 I foresee a time soon when many of these alts will sadly be deleted as Legacy content changes things drastically. RP-er, so these things matter a lot.

The devs have gone on record that any new races have to speak basic. The reason being immersion. If you had to listen to the same 5 looped wookie sounds every single conversation, you would go insane, or just stop caring about the story all together. Races I'd love to see Republic: Mon Calamai, Cathar, (Ki-Adi Mundi) Neutral: Togruta, Bothan, Nautalan Empire: Falleen, Nohgri, Kaleesh

Maq'wenzi - Chiss Mercenary, and general nice guy, until he unloads his blasters into your face. Kyzania - Chiss Powertech, Maq's cousin, and a nasty piece of work

I assume the Civilian model (Which is Social 2 I believe) is for both factions, did Blue side receive an X-wing pilots uniform (Orange/white jump suit) perhaps to match the Imp Pilot? Any one checked? I don't have a specific objection to the social and badge requirements, but I do find the arrangement counter intuitive. I still wish there was a way to convert social light armor into Medium of Heavy. Especially with things like these pilot armors.

I was very shocked that Cathar were not a launch race, especially given their prevalence in the game, and in the KOTOR period. I would rather new races not be part of the Legacy system merely because that leaves you forced to level an alt on a new server to unlock the race you really want to play. Kind of defeats the purpose. By the same token, I do not want new races to be a purchasable perk simply on general principle. I'm still hoping the see playable Falleen and (Grevious' race who's name I forget) for red side to go with Cathar and (Khiadi mundi's race...I need to do more research dang it)

Not sure if this is well known or not, but here we go: Stopped off at the Imperial Fleet commendations vendor and low and behold, he had 2 whole new armor sets available! We all already know about the classic Red Space suit set, but now they also had a "Civilian" Flight suit, and, awesomeness, an Imperial Pilots suit! The thing costs a mountain of commendations, but it looks gorgeous! Anyone else find any new custom gear or other surprises in the patch?

A good proposal. While the SIS Spy is a good equivalent, it's not quite the same. I would suggest a republic aligned bounty hunter equivalent perhaps. Call it the enforcer or something. Box of tricks tanking tree that resembles the BH, but uses more cryo rather than pyro. Make the medium armored version an out right spy design. All james bond gadgets and what not.

While I lack the names, there is an awesome set of pants and boots, dark metallic purple with silver highlights. I saw them at the Comms vendor on Alderan. Custom-Str gear, but remod, and VIOLA! One step closer to my ultimate merc . Still haven't found quite the right chest yet, but picked up a nice one for down the line cheap on GTN.

I RP that my BH has no clue who this guy is, but kinda likes how he brightens up the place. I figure I don't have the code to unlock him, so there he sits. Maybe I can pawn him off on a hutt for some serious creds.

Helpful, concise and all in the first post. What more could I want (except craftable purple saber crystals mind you)

Your thoughts? I for one would love to see group or flash point related space missions. While the Destroyer assault missions have a great epic quality to them, I would love a chance to feel like a real fleet action with other players involved. The keep everyone from going off the rails as it were, offer varying flight paths like the old Star Wars Trilogy Arcade did; push your ship one extreme direction or another and you change tracks as it were. Fury's up the center, Mantis' on the left fighter waves, Phantoms to the right. Similarly, if only for personal gratification, I would love to see customizable skins for the ships. Color changing, flight/kill decals, squad markings, etc. While this is nothing but for kicks, I still feel it would be a welcome addition for a lot of players. In specifics, I'd love to have an alternative palette for the Mantis since the Slave-1 Scheme isn't doing much for me. But most of all, I would love to have the option to name your ship. Again, purely for personal tastes and flavor, it is still something I feel we need to make our ship OURS.

As a vanguard, you will pretty much always use Ion Cell in my experience. Ion is the bread, butter, and jam of the Shield/Tanking tree, and offers a fair dps bonus. That is unless you are acting as the DPS, in which case, AP cell for droids, flame cell for biologics seems logical, but I will be honest, I have not crunched the numbers to be certain.

Good afternoon SWTOR. My name's Vestras, and I am an Alt-aholic. <waits for standard reply> Thus far, SWTOR has been a lot of fun, and I can already tell I am going to have a lot of fun replaying through a good deal of the content thanks to responses changing with gender/race/class/alignment, there will be plenty more to see than I can get in one pass. Unfortunately for me, that means I already want to start seeing some of these alternatives, and that means I am rolling alternate characters already to see variations and whole new class exclusive content. Not a problem really, just something I have to make peace with myself about. Then I learned about the Legacy system, and things get loopy. Now, in full disclosure, I have not yet finished Chapter 1 (Act 1 whichever), so my information is from what I gleam from the forum and other players. The Legacy system is one which will be expanding as time goes on to include (but not limited to): A surname, Titles, special gearing options, special races, and other exclusives to pass on to one's other characters. This Thrills me! At the moment, only the Surname or Title is available from what I have gleamed, more to be added later. Now, a title and races, you have my full attention there, but the Surname is one I will likely never use. I can't quite figure out why they went this route given that it doesn't make sense that a Twi'lek, a Chiss, and a miraluka would all have the same last name. I rather wish that Legacy gave you the slot rather than one surname to cover all your characters on one server. Thinking about what will soon/someday be added to the Legacy system makes me stop and I wonder if I am not hurting myself (more than usual mind you) by rolling alts now. I mean, if the Legacy System will give me new races or gear eventually, should I just not play anyone else until then for fear of missing golden opportunities (like a female Cathar smuggler I can have in classic Corellian Heriloom Uniform for example)? It makes me second guess trying out some of other classes just yet since I would rather not want to reroll later to get something I might enjoy more. To make this more of a discussion rather than a rant, What are your thoughts/hopes/fears for the Legacy system?
