That dude must be a brick ****house. Augments are lvl 49 i believe? He could have stacked expertise too, if he ripped mods out of the pvp weapons. Maybe being a beast in lowbie pvp would be fun though ...
For its time, it was fun. Being able to upgrade your pod racer was cool, but c'mon.... We have speeders already. Just go to outlaws den and have your fun fighting/racing
