Interview with two of the devs on 1.3's crew skill changes just went up. http://inquisitorsroadhouse.com/2012/05/16/patch-1-3-crew-skills-changes-qa-with-swtor-systems-designers-david-hunt-and-patrick-malott/

So if you choose to, say, torture someone for months rather than killing them, you'd get LS points?

For me, the mission on Nar Shaddaa where you have the choice to either kill the or let him live was silly. Letting him live benefits you personally as well as the Empire, while killing him is honest and loyal to your Hutt allies. Yet the selfish action gives you LS points and the the noble one gives you DS points.

Topic. What are the most efficient credit-making space missions? I'm currently L45.

Make it an item you can pick up at the social vendor with a limited number of charges. Should be fairly expensive too, to prevent abuse.

The advanced versions have differing stats.

Because if they're not useful anymore, you can simply slot a new mod into the armor and destroy the old one. If they are still useful, then you shouldn't mind paying to keep them.

And every male rolling a female SI will dump Andronikos/Talos for Ashara.

Go play the multiplayer portion of Revenge of the Sith for the DS. That's how space combat should be. Use mouse steering, throw in some level-up type system similar to Valor ranks to upgrade your ship, and Bob's your uncle.

About what I figured. Thankfully, you get to unlock these by grinding out easy Valor ranks (highest requirement is Valor level 20) rather than pay insane amounts of credits like everything else in the Legacy system.

Given that they do terrible damage, require you to actually UNEQUIP your weapon(s), and in at least one case have a drawback... is there any point to this other than maybe RP or non-serious PVP?

More items flooding the market, but more buyers as well. I think it'll work out.

Grievous. Or Mace Windu.

Solution: Give the L50 sabers a really cool cosmetic option. Like... Once you equip the item and it becomes bound, you get a special item that lets you rename it once. Or give it an "appearance" item mod slot that you can drag another lightsaber into, giving the EML the skin of the lightsaber in that slot.

Bu-but the level 50 sabers do a whole FIVE TO SEVEN points more damage! Surely that's worth tens of thousands of credits!

The mouths moving is actually a graphical bug that exists on all mask-wearing characters. You can see it on Darth Malgus in some of the flashpoint intros when he looks up, and if you're playing a SI and keep Kallig's Countenance, you'll see the bottom portion of the mask moving when you talk.

Seriously, BW. When they talk, you can see their mask moving, and it just looks ridiculous. Like Darth Malgus's breath mask stretches, and the bottom of Kallig's Countenance moves up and down when the SI speaks. It also makes the new look of the Dread Masters even sillier than it would otherwise be.

He's saying it doesn't but it ought to.

This. So much this.

Then he stops healing me. I don't want him passive, I want him to stop aggroing everything in sight. I'll pop a group, CC a couple with Whirlwind, then start attacking the others... Talos will break my CC by attacking, then he'll run over and aggro a completely different group, so now I'm fighting 6+ enemies that are 2-4 levels above me, getting me killed. What's the point of running with a healer companion when he's causing me to take way more damage than he heals?

Stop attacking CC'd enemies and enemies who aren't aggroed on me that I'm trying to sneak past. Seriously, BW, fix his AI. This is ridiculous. I've turned off his offensive powers and he still uses basic attacks on them. I'm trying to solo above-level content and he keeps attacking everything in sight.

Are you saying I can earn 50k credits just for letting this thing kill me? Well that's a horse of a different color...

I shouldn't have to shell out 2k credits because I don't want to get sick and die.

Really, Bioware? REALLY?

How much are they going for?
