You will gain 5 companions over the course of your story. These companions have their own story missions, and certain companions will have a romance option for your main character. Companions can also be sent away on crafting missions, where they will gather materials, and then craft items for you. They're also really helpful in combat! (Well, except for the servant droid that comes with your startship!)

There are ways you can pace yourself, here's what I like to do. I like to completely finish a planet while I'm on it. I complete 100% of the quests and collect as many crafting materials as possible. Once I leave that planet, I spend time on the fleet leveling crafting. This gives you some breathing room, and when you are ready, you can head onto the next planet. Good luck.

This is an amazing idea. Would give us something to do in downtime though. Imagine the addicts though; "Give up my flashpoint spot guys, I'm on a winning streak!" I know I was hooked in FO: New Vegas.

Yep, and I'm loving it!

Tattooine is my favorite planet so far!

I am having no such trouble.

If me and another player are both standing at the same quest objective then an instant invite is fine, but when people invite me out of the blue without telling me why then I'm going to ignore it.

They can't do it right now. You'll just have to wait until after the test.

Are these incredibly slow for anyone else? The load times seem so much worse than the previous planets I've been to, and exited a warzone about ten minutes ago and it's still loading me back into tattooine, I think it might have even crashed! Does anyone else get this?

Same thing happens to me, it freezes for a second like it's taking a screenshot but it doesn't end up in my screenshot folder. Always works outside of cutscenes...

Wow it looks like a protocol droid halloween costume or something.

So far the only option I've seen is hoods hoods and hoods.

I am also desperate for this feature, I have forgotten what my character looks like! All I can picture is...every other JK out there who looks just like me with their hood up. Surely a simple /hood command would do?

Thre's no reason why the storylines need to be any more 'epic'. In saying that, I haven't finished any storylines yet.
