And I of course mean trooper since I want to play republic side

Yeah, I've heard the same about consular so i had planned to steer clear of that one anyway. Any other opinions or is bounty hunter my best choice? This question was for my old character. I know people complain about this, but I was just trying to make sure I knew everything I needed to. Is it dailies/weeklies on Ilium and Fleet for PvP and daily hard mode flashpoints to start with? Anything else i am missing?

Hello all, I have a couple questions for the community and I posted them here because my main question involves story. So, I'm about to wrap up the Sith Inquisitor storyline as a light side sith. I enjoyed the story and I am now looking for something on the republic side to play. I plan to play something as a dark side so which story would be the best for me to experience under those conditions? Bonus question: will the story be more enjoyable as a male or female. Next question, as a level 50. What should I be looking into in progressing my character? I know flashpoints, PvP, and ops exist. But how exactly do I go about these and what am I working towards? Finally, on this new character that I am going to play. I'd like to pick crew skills that will max out the number of credits I make. What skills would you recommend for this class and what is their main money making point. Thanks for the help all!
