A new class doesn't have to necessarily fit a niche. You can have multiple DPS/Tank/Heals classes that are either ranged or melee. Just to use an example, WoW has rogues and druids. Essentially the same class but totally different "flavor" and mechanics. Personally, I'd be happy with engine upgrades. Maybe fix the textures. The difference between the animations for the new content vs the original content is like night and day lol

I understand that players make different choices regarding who they recruit into their Alliance however now that we are getting back into Pub vs Imp, it would be nice that some of our companions start making their way BACK to the personal star ship. Even if it is just the main companions that we acquire through the base story. But the ships are fairly large and at this point devoid of life.

Not sure if this is the right forum for this question so please excuse me if it isn't. It's my understanding that in the expansion, we will be reassembling companions. However if I have Treek and HK-51, do I stand to lose them in the expansion too since they can be bought from Cartel or quested for?

Went through Manaan last night with God Droid and love it. Is this solo mode now available at all levels or just the Forged Alliances bit?

I've had a lot of success in the late game with HK-51. I don't think any of my other companions have seen the light of day since I got him. Geared out his DPS is great, and has solid survivability.

Do they plan to release other ships down the road? If so maybe Imps will get more of a variety of mean looking ships

Hey I am currently clvl 50 (JUST got to 50) and I'm having a terrible time with the last class quest. I have been getting killed by a Force Knockback something-or-another that's hitting for over 30k. Am I missing a fight mechanic? HELP!
