It's summer, and too hot to be wearing all-black.

Spring breeeak! Woooo!

Given the rarity of the drops and how many credits would be needed to amass any significant amount of them, I doubt it'll lower the value of CMC items much in the long run.

I put mine on the "stage" in the PVP area by the entrance of the Rishi SH. I then filled the "pit" area with dancers and decos to make it like a spring break beach rave!

This thread is just a repost of a thread the OP started almost a year and half ago, and ran for 28 pages: http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=943039 Someone's stirring the pot again...

Legacy offhand items are only available from the Gree event vendor.

Agreed. I main sorcs/sages, having alts for both Madness and Lightning, and they perform perfectly well in both pvp and ops.

What's there to explain? He saw HK "die", in a heroic death to save you. If anything, it makes the sacrifice less meaningful if he's all better 15 mins later. If your nephew somehow knows that HK can come back, there should be plenty of videos on Youtube to watch it. Otherwise, the best lesson you can teach a child is that sometimes we don't always get what we want, but that it's no reason to throw a hissy fit.

Taking 2 hits/debuffs from interdiction mines freezes you in place, but allows (SLOW) turning and firing.

He's probably just drunk.

Agreed, the new planet is gorgeous. It feels like being out in the American Southwest, like Lake Powell or the Grand Canyon. And the Library/ruined temples have this great LOTR ancient vibe to them.

Thanks for the heads-up!

If the guild name was indeed taken, you can search for it by typing it in the same field you'd use to search for other players (clicking in the upper left, above the chat box). It's likely to be a small guild, possibly just one player like how you were trying to do, so it might take awhile to be on at the same time. However, the guild name could just as easily be taken by the someone on the opposite faction. You could always try varying your spelling, like spelling out "Incorporated".

Would I be correct in understanding that turrets, drones, and beacons do not have shields? If that's the case, would it be fair to assume that blasters with their T5 option shifted to Hull dmg, instead of Shield dmg, would take down such targets quicker?

I was in an 8-man group that queued for tonight's group finder op. The window popped up, everyone excepted, and that's when everything bugged out. I couldn't go into the raid, and suddenly I no longer seemed to be part of a guild or have any strongholds! I also was unable to whisper any other members of the group to see if it was happening to them too. I tried closing and re-starting SWTOR, but everything was still acting this way. I even logged over to my opposite faction characters, and they were experiencing the same issues too. Anyone else experience this?? Update: ok, the issue seems to have resolve itself, but man, that was weird and alarming.

I just hope he's not going to be speaking the standard alien gibberish, but am not holding out much hope they hired a voice actor for a non-story companion.

The idea of a black core + color halo has canon precedence in the form of the Darksaber.

This particular companion just doesn't make a lot of sense to me. A Jedi (Master Ranos), Sith (Darth Hexid), or infiltrator killbot (Z0-0M) all make sense as worthy allies to personally accompany the commander of an alliance to save/conquer the galaxy. But a drunken pirate who hangs out in cantinas seems little different than the drunken smuggler (Nico) who hangs out in cantinas.

It doesn't make sense that they took these two personnel bundles away when all the previous personnel bundles were left available indefinitely.

What exactly do you mean by the "value" of the decorations? There are no set credit values on most decorations. And it's certainly not worthwhile use of dev time to retroactively assign arbitrary values to each of the hundreds of decorations, all to help a few people with incomplete strongholds to appear higher up on the stronghold list that hardly anyone looks at.

I'd vote Nar Shadaa. The larger, more spread out strongholds are better for the likes of Sith lords, who have whole armies to command. Nar has everything the professional hunter could ask for. It has Location, being right at the center of the underworld, where the most lucrative contracts can be found, as well as easy access to shopping, entertainment, and gambling. Rooms are perfectly set up for everything a hunter might need. A room for an armory. Room for a crew barracks. Room to meet/entertain clients. Room for a repair bay. Room for a loot/trophy area. Room for all your vehicles. And all without having to take elevators and drive half a mile down the way to get anywhere.

I didn't do any wall decorations at all. With the precious few decorations able to be placed, I used the count up on things like cargo/munitions containers, ships/mounts, flight control computers, and repair bays. Imperial/Republic banners could be appropriate if the hangar bay is intended for welcoming VIP ships.

Was that with, or without, the legacy character perk that increases the gain from gifts?

IIRC, about 3 million credits worth of the rank 5 gifts from the fleet vendor is enough to reach influence 50, so the compendium is only economical from a time perspective.

Dulfy previewed some decos a few weeks back that seem to be Halloween themed, in that they were various-sized gravestones and a graveyard.
