I was, and I repeat WAS interested in downloading the PTS and giving feedback on some of the latest content, having been a subscriber since pre-launch. I have a very fast internet connection, but a 2-3Mps upload speed to load the PTS is ridiculous. I waited over an hour for the "main assets" to load (about 10 Gigs), and thought, cool, this isn't terrible.. but after installing those assets, another download started which was 25 Gigs.. are you kidding me? I was looking at 3 more hours if that was the last one.. which I doubt.. If you want more participation.. gotta do something with those upload servers to increase the speed.

Just a follow-up concerning my situation..this may not be the case for everyone, but since 5.3, I am no longer having the issues with the game crashing at character selection screen.

Eric, thank you for the update !! Will try your suggestions out.

Windows did a "dev update" this weekend to Windows 10. I was able to sign in and play last night (5/14), but today is different. I am able to log in, check into my server, but when I press play for the player I want to use, I get a "program stopped working" popup from windows, and the program closes. Ideas?

To add to this post.. I have spent many weeks doing Yavin weeklies to gear my companions in the 192 gear, even though it looks terrible. As I "upgraded" each one, I vendor the nice looking gear I had the companions in. Will there be a way to bring back some of the older gear that we've had access to in the past?

I use my ship as a base of operations. Would be a nice add if we could send and receive mail from our starships. Anyone agree ?
