I have the feeling -- REAL faction change ? not gonna happen -- and would we really really want it anyway ? my agent is not going back to being the "Yesman" / assassin of the empire --- not going back to it; BUT.. What can my agent possibly really DO in the SIS ? office job ? boring ... and besides, Theron would not even WANT her to go back to spying ... Way too dangerous for her to go back to being a spy -- every BH in the galaxy would be after her ( not to mention loyal IAs ) So -- logically, can we have a true, real faction change ? I am happy with the saboteur -- and the Alliance -- too much "water under the bridge" and I've spent way too much time and effort ( and "real" in game money) to let it go now And for BHs -- how many times have people said they wished the BH could work for the Republic ?-- technically, they are their own bosses -- they work for the highest payer so ... why do they even need a change ? just start having the Republic give them Imperial targets -- no one likes them anyway (lol j/k -- but maybe a grain of truth there ) And my JK -- she is a Jedi -- not a sith, and not becoming one NO she doesn't want to switch sides or go back to the Republic -- the Republic was useless in the fight against Valkorian -- no I don't have ships anymore, true -- BUT they don't have me; the hero of the whole dang game lol and I will NOT go back to being a pawn and subordinate to a worthless, weak Jedi council or to a disorganized childish dark council -- no, sorry -- better to stay independent ( and as for my smuggler, she feels the same way - I'm a Commander now, not just a smuggler )

again -- I love the Alliance My BH will NOT go back to the Empire -- my agent will tell the Empire to shove it .. and my JK is finished with the council -- couldn't even defend the Republic -- useless I stay where I am for a reason, or several reasons

I try to turn Anri over to my side ( imperial saboteur ) every chance I get on my agent why? to remind her how AWFUL they have been to HER people --- and will continue to remind her ... so there is that .... I see nothing good about the Empire ( I stayed Alliance though too) and ...

I thought about it -- then said no Theron is there, I just can not hurt his feelings, period -- I just can't

Oh and I have that saboteur agent who HATES siths ; and a nasty bounty hunter who'd like nothing better than to hand the Imperial planets over to the Mandos ( at least a few) ... so yea I have them too

just saying this you are going to have a fight on your hands if you try and take over Odessen -- just saying from a loyal Alliance commander out here (oh and I have the Republic to back me up, remember ? ) ... get ready for a fight LOL

I kept her alive on everyone ... never know when, and if, she may be useful again ( hint, hint devs)

at this stage in the game's life ( lose the rights in 2023) ... highly unlikely

"squeaky wheel gets the grease " the ones who complain the most, get what they want -- same in all games everywhere ( ps -- I never complained, but I "only do the story content" -- so MY voice never counts anyway, I just let known my displeasure by unsubbing )

I realize people don't like the Alliance --and want to see it G O N E .. however, I spent way too much time ( in real time and story time) -- getting it up and running .. it may very well go bye-bye in the future, but I want to keep MINE as long as possible ... period -- and my RPGing may be a lot different than some -- but that is the beauty of playing a GAME -- different strokes -- and that also includes how we interpret the story and what is happening according to us as individuals

the Alliance IS a friend to Scorpio -- at least mine is -- THAT would make an interesting plot twist -- and THEN the people who killed her would be upset -- but /shrug .. that's what happens when you go full dark and kill everyone you "dislike "

anything it wants to .. for that matter, what can the Republic and Empire trade ? Besides -- my Alliance ( all 4 tiimes); kept Scorpio alive -- and well, Scorpio; Iokath; advanced weapons and ships -- so yea ....

besides what I just said -- you know, ALLIES do send you supplies and personnel too - or at least they should .. we do in real life don't we ? and the Republic and Empire have had quite a while to recover from the Eternal Empire's damage -- so they have no excuse not to share .... you do not have to join an ally to get supplies from them ... But just my 4 cents here ....

And NOW Lana trusts us and the power of the Alliance -- she changed her mind --- no Eternal Fleet, no Gravestone; but she now knows what we can do -- so yea, trust is a big deal and now she trusts us; and who says we don't get more resources ? people do change their minds, and situations do change for the better .... who said the Republic or the Empire has access to more resources and people than we do -- seems pretty evened out to me ( and remember, not everyone leaved the Alliance, some did stay ... we are just not given exact numbers in the story)

the end till more content ....

You learn a bit more about Lana and her personal philosophy on Sith and power struggles (during the Republic side) when she talks with Gnost-Dural -- it was very interesting

personally -- I don't want to be a Jedi Council member -- I can do more by staying clear of their politics and protocol .. and I am STILL a Jedi -- and a Battlemaster -- I EARNED those titles long ago ... you never stop being a Jedi -- it's there always ... even if not a council member ... I was slightly insulted they would "give" me something I considered I had always had .. I mean really .. I never stopped being a Jedi And I believe that Lana is just doing what the Commander wants to do - as a subordinate, she should -- I don't consider it "changing her mind" -- just obeying her commander's wishes, as she should

here we go -- again --- kill, kill, kill -- please, can we just leave characters alone ? I personally like her -- she has guts and grit; the Jedis need that ....

None of theses things has bothered me at all -- I do PvE dailies ( I am not a raider) -- I am fine .. leave it alone, please

Theron on my JK, Smuggler, and BH (although it would be tempting on my BH to choose Scourge ) My agent is waiting for Saganu -- but Theron is a very close second and she has been romancing him --- so we will wait and see .. Arcann has had too many problems in his life -- so no ( and yes, I know Theron has too, but he just appeals to me more, I guess)

solution --- ignore them ... use the ones you like, get them to 50 influence and just forget the others -- that is what I did

why don't we all just enjoy it -- and wait -- and watch to see where it goes -- and above all just ENJOY it ? ok , please ?

wow -- I must have been really tired when I did this .. I never saw it ..

I had issues too -- but I just kept running around in circles and when the mines came out, I just ran them through their own or the droids flames -- that did the trick just keep moving and let the mines "kill themselves" ( I had to heal up a couple of times, so know where the heal ports are )
