I do not know if this has been addressed or not but in the security chest at the end of the Battle of Ilum, sometimes a "Columi Offhand Weapon" is available. however, only a Mercenary Bounty Hunter can use it. So, what is in place for an offhand for a Powertech, Vanguard & Commando? Is there another Flashpoint that drop an offhand Shield or Generator?

Powertech Tanks Rock!!!

I've only played 2 PC MMO's and one was WoW (I no longer play) and now Star Wars: The Old Republic. When I first saw an AH. I thought of it as a benefit to people to get things they can't get on their own due to choice of professions, some who don't run instances and those who craft and need mats and those who gather and sell for profit to make money. Some use the buy and resell strategy to make money, which I could understand is an advantage if you know your stuff. Not everyone sees the AH with that buy/resell strategy though. Some people like myself, like to sell items at reasonable prices, not only to make the cash but that it would benefit someone else who can use it. Some don't care about that, they just want to sell it and make the credits instead of getting crap credits from selling it to the vendor. What I have noticed in the past week are there are a couple players who have bought a big chunk of the items in the AH that others put in there from every category available when you open to AH, stack them if they are stack-able and then overprice them in the AH. Deshx99 sold for 15,000, Level 5 Superior (Blue) sold for 8,000, Level 10 Custom Gear for 15,000 were just some of the prices. The game is new, the servers are new... which newcomer level 5 is going to have 8k credits or a lvl 10 who wants to level up a profession that uses Desh, 15,000 a stack I've stopped selling items in the AH because of the sharks that keep buying mine and everyone else's crafted items and mats and reselling it for ridiculous prices I have only encountered this on Republic but not Empire. I am not against people using the buy and resell strategy but here is an idea Example, if one of those epic missions like Archaeology or Scavenger sell for 3650 or 4360 by default, then if someone is using the buy/re-sell strategy to make some extra credits, then doing so, only let them increase it by whatever it's value is worth but at least it won't be overpriced to the point where someone else is being ripped off. I have no problem making credits or getting mats because I am a pack rat but sometimes I sell to make some extra credits. I do browse the AH to see what's new, but when I saw some of these players doing this for the past week, I just thought of making this thread and wanted to share an idea.

I usually team up with a friend to do quests and when she isn't on, I like to travel and explore the planet maps as much as I could cover. There is a way to get to the Signal Monitoring Center. When travelling North across the lava bridge towards the top part of the map, you discover the Oasis Republic Post. There will be 2 pathways, the one to the right is the Oasis Republic Post. Take the left path and continue traveling on the left side and you will come across another tunnel. By then, a small section on your map will appear. Travel southwest of that section on the map and you will find a Monitor Station. A quest is also given when right clicking on the monitor station. (Quest: Deadly Mutations) Go through and you will enter and discover "The Tomb Warlord's Deep" of that map where the Signal Monitoring Center is there. Hope this information helps Note: If deciding to go there at a lower level than 50 like I did, there are a mix of Esh-kha mobs groups, Silver Elites and Gold Elites both creatures and mobs. Edit: I went afk for a bit and when I returned, I traveled south of the Signal Monitoring Center to find a Imperial Deep Launchpoint. It has another Transport connection there also with 2 more NPC's that give quests, for those interested in doing more quests on Belsavis.

Whenever I get a new companion, I usually check out "Persons of Note" under the Codex tab of my quest log to check out their likes, dislikes, stats, primary weapons etc. In the Persons of Note, it states that Torian Cadera's Primary Weapon is in fact a Electrostaff despite the weapon proficiency stated under the "Abilities/Companions" I did open a ticket to mention that. I thought maybe it was a Codex set for Beta but then at Release they changed Torian's Proficiency. So I, myself am waiting to see if it was an error or if something will be fixed with regards to that
