I totally agree with the ability to equip an operative with a pistol instead of the rifle. It makes zero sense to walk around with a heavy rifle while you come out of stealth to stab someone. This is the one thing that prohibits me from playing multiple classes. If I am going to spend hours playing a toon, I want some flexibility on how I play that toon.

i have been getting this too today, 1-30-13. very annoying and needs a fix. soon

I would absolutely love the play as a Nautolan! I love kit fisto and being able to play his race would be a major selling point for me.
