While the instructions looked simple enough, i don't think i understand what issue this is fixing... Will this help with load times to planets? Performance during wz's or on the fleet? CPU load? Sorry if this was obvious and I missed something...

I wasn't necessarily saying you'd switch from sith to jedi or from Bounty Hunter to Trooper... I tried to keep class names and "sith" or "jedi" out of it to keep from all confusion. Ultimately, I was just speaking... as a Republic making dark decisions to the point in which you become an Empire faction or light decissions to become of Republic faction. I guess even as a kid I always related it all to good (Light) vs evil (Dark). Republic as Light side and Empire as Dark side. Even in the movies 1-3 Anikin went from light to dark and was no longer republic in the end.... right? wasn't Anikin Darth Vader?! lol maybe i really just don't know my Star Wars. I also was adding that as a reward for sticking to your factions good/bad side, which clearly there is not a determined good/bad for either faction, you could have gear related.... suppose to make it even they could provide gear for either choice you do, but limit you from doing previous quests of the other faction as a sort of once you go to the other side you don't come back.

So it makes little sense to me to be of Dark side and Republic OR of Light and Empire.... But what would be really cool is if they allowed you to be of Republic and through your dark decissions you became Empire, and visa versa. Then through such they could even have gear targeted towards "Light && Republic" or "Dark && Empire" as a sort of way to encourage you to keep faction. While I am positive the game mechanics are in place and probably would allow for this, let alone the quests that would be involved, but expansions or just general talk.... Thoughts? Im not exactly a lore buff, so maybe there are true reasons as to such.

Sold on above answer, don't think i really noticed that before... think I always look up thinks w/ slots. Cheers

Maybe a link will help? http://www.torhead.com/item/d1oEA8T

cheers!

I often lose my posts... i have no "me" page that tells me of all my posts... When I try and "View all posts by XXX" i get an Insufficient Permissions page. Also, how do I search the forums?? Sorry to be such a newb at this, this is either completely non-user friendly or the options aren't there.

Awesome! Thank you all for the reply

If I quit a crew skill with points in it, does anyone, for certain, know if i pick it back up later the points resume or are cleared upon dropping the skill?

Is it supposed to have an augment slot and a bug in game? OR Is it a bug on torhead and it's really not to have one?
