I want to know what everyone's favorite companion to use while questing is.

You're acting like you can only have one character...

How I manage the numbers issue is I keep the quickbars very similar, but different. I keep stuff that I use both in cover and out at the same spot on the bars. But stuff I don't use while in cover, I replace with cover only abilities. This has saved me a massive headache. I generally use the non-changing bar for stuff I use in and out of cover, like my cd's.

I've done them all except that Sith. I have to draw the line somewhere.

I just ran some instances today, and it wasn't bad. I think people will come to accept that my grenades of power are greater than their hybridness.

Cybertech (awesome mods that keep your armor always relevant), Scavenging (to feed your cybertech), and Slicing (to feed your pockets). A good smuggler can never have too many credits.
