    Is the Empire really driven that far back?

    There is a difference cheap and unimpressive and just plain backward. I mean if we were at war with whoever and went into economic collapse do you think we've revert to fighting with swords, halberds and maces? And started smelting armour and shields? No, we would fight with guns and modern combat gear, but equipment would simply be scarce. We don't have the means to effectively produce centuries old technology because as it has become outdated, the machinery used to create it has been replaced.

     

    Therefore an economic collapse in the Republic should not have led to a technological retreat, but rather a scarcity in armaments. For example the Kuat Shipyards of the Empire era do not have the capabilities to produce Sith warships of the Great Hyperspace War. However if civilization was all but decimated, we'd be force to start from scratch and with limited resources and information believable would revert to spears and arrows etc. and develop from there.

     

    Also, the Sith Empire were not always squabbling and fighting, else they never would have been able to score such decisive victories against the Republic. Indeed at times they were very much unified and conquered large portions of the galaxy, with armaments, resources, shipyards etc. And even if they did split into warring factions, they'd still possess that technology and those capabilities, but supply would be divided.

     

    P.S. A Sith victory would not necessarily lead to this, mutual destruction however would.

     

    If you look at the dates you would see your argument is invalid as far as the ships go, the "cheap and unimpressive" ship is 1400 years newer than the "plain backward". "cheap and unimpressive" 3643BBY and "plain backward" 5000BBY

    So i purchased the unlock for my lvl 10 trooper, but he comes equipped with lvl 50 gear he cant use, is this a common problem? As of now he is pretty much useless, i dont have the creds to buys upgrades for him on the market. Is there anything i can do about this?

    SWG'ers, are you content or bored with SWTOR?

    The ONLY thing about SWG that i think should be implemented in SWTOR is the ability to choose a side. In SWG you chose your class, then after awhile you could choose to work for the Empire or, fight with the rebellion, or even not join a side. I would love the ability to choose for yourself who your troop, smug, BH, whoever, wants to fight for.
