That's in 1.2, I believe.

Haven't found one, but I'm sure they'll pop up soon. Those of us who love dress-up demand to know!

Additional meaning "more than one"? Or just "augment slot on item that didn't have one"?

Right, but the game mechanic is way of "enforcing" the canon. In-universe, good characters choose or get lightsabers of various colors because of wide-ranging and varied influences (accessibility and rarity of certain crystals, tradition, faction, etc.) almost none of which is, presumably, "I want a red saber because it looks cool" (the typical but understandable motivation of a player playing a game). It's a metagame solution to an in-universe "problem" that would be difficult (at best) to resolve. Regardless of whether we as individuals consider it a problem or not, we know that Bioware/Lucas considers it a problem because it was implemented (and has been discussed at length). The resulting mechanic is clunky, and doesn't accurately represent what actually happens in the canon, but it produces the overarching effect they're looking for ("good guys use green/blue, bad guys use red, and there's this handful of other colors"). EDIT: I want to state that I am in favor of removing alignment restrictions from saber crystals, I'm just explaining the reasoning. "That's not how it works in canon" is not an applicable defense of the suggestion. "This is silly for blasters" is.

Please note that this is not universal. There are purple armor pieces with a removable armoring. That's what I'm curious about: if you put the same four mods in a purple chestpiece that you put in an orange chestpiece, are the resulting stats identical? I've also got green items for Quinn with all removable mods. Would that be identical to an orange or purple piece with the same mods? Honestly, it'd be easier to test on my own than wait for an answer.

It's supposed to be your perk for having your profession. If that doesn't appeal to you, then that is unfortunate, but it DOES appeal to many other people. Some people juggle geese. Would it appeal to you if Bioware simply changed the art to look different (that is, cooler and more distinct from regular speeders)? What if you could craft a small selection of "generic" speeders, and then one special one (appearance only) for you specifically? I approve this use of that meme.

I'm a man (if that matters) playing a female vague-light-side Sith Warrior (level 27 now) and the only options for flirting I've had is Quinn. Another female SW mentioned someone 'flirtable' on Balmorra, but she might've been referencing a different character.

This. If you've got the strength, then it's just strength > power > victory > freedom. No one's going to stand on ceremony if they can't match your strength. This is the Sith, after all. You know the Golden Rule, right? He who has the gold, makes the rules? Only in this case, the gold is strength and the rules are... this metaphor isn't going all that great...

As with all choices: it depends on the circumstances. It's possible that Bioware simply considered any casual sexual encounter to be submitting to passion (not just lust, but overwhelming emotion), whereas the aforementioned attachments involve a much more controlled understanding of emotion? I haven't seen but a fraction of the options, so I can't say for sure, but it's possible?

Basically, this. What's-his-face isn't judging you because you're a red guy (thereby making him a hypocrite), he's judging you because somehow you became a slave.

I don't really have this problem. (Okay, occasionally I am surprised when a response I thought was snarky comes out malicious.) I will admit, though, that since they DO already have the dialog written out (see: subtitles), I would not be opposed to a checkbox in options that lets me see the exact text.

No. There is no specifically "neutral" gear, but the light and dark side restricted gear is mostly appearances only. It is equivalent to crafted, dropped, and bought gear. This means you will occasionally miss out on a drop (moreso than the light and dark side players, who will miss out on half as many), but the pieces so restricted are few and far between. You are not "gimped" by any stretch of the imagination.

You're an Imperial Agent! You don't work for the Chiss Ascendency. Are you implying they should be investigating your connections with the Ascendency? But seriously, you don't just team up because you're the same species. If they come from another world, they're "alien" to you. Imagine you're an American citizen whose lineage is not native to the North American continent (highly likely). Do you owe (and by "owe" I mean "willingly give") more "allegiance" to the country you were born, have lived, and will probably die in, or the country your ancestors are from?

At some point during the conversations, it's covered that the Empire is not using the medicine but rather stockpiling it. They are supposed to be using it to help the locals, but they are not. LS/DS is not morality. It's *close* to what a Jedi/Sith would do, because the Jedi and Sith Codes give good indicators as to what actions result in LS/DS points. That's still a bit general, however. And military personnel are often called "sir" regardless of gender, depending on the military in question. Giving the medicine to Empire is the dark side option, which is why the OP is confused.

Noted. But the responses are not based necessarily on your rationale, but rather the "available" rationales from the character in question (whose story is dictated, one way or another, by the writers). I mean, you pick the solution, but your dialog and demeanor has been decided for you. Just a byproduct of being a character in a game. As you know, light side / dark side is not good / evil, but it's also not simply rational vs. emotional. You can still make a rational decision with emotion -- but in the dark side choice, you are usually feeding on that emotion or using it to your benefit or (and this one's often overlooked) using it to expedite your own goals. Virtually every quest can ultimately be described as "using ___ to expedite your own goals" but there's a distinct flavor to it, I honestly think Bioware did a great job in keeping the light side and dark side choices following the same themes and patterns.

They're using a prepackaged forum software. They have previously had it available. Searches are massively resource intensive, so it's probably been disabled during the launch phase.

The Force doesn't care about lying. It cares if you are choosing the emotional response.

This isn't really story and lore but, when you hover over a dialog selection, there's an icon that displays showing whether you'll get light side points (a white star, blue glow) or dark side points (a black triangle, red glow). This option is on by default, but you can turn it off if you'd prefer to be surprised. You can also make it appear next to the options themselves. If you're looking for the correct way to GET dark side points, choose emotional responses and murder everyone you get the option to spare.

There is no misinformation here. While you did apparently have a guildmate unaware of the meaning, he was not misinformed. Well, that's good, because you didn't get any from me. I have certainly not judged you based on your name in any way. It's entirely possible that you are feeling judged, because of assumptions you've made (and the incidents leading up to this thread), but I assure you my opinion of you is based purely on our discussion so far. I'm merely describing the understanding. Your behavior appears to be identical to the behavior of immature people (even though it is not actually), with which all people (but especially MMO players) are familiar. If you're aware of this, and continue anyway, you accept that this is the sort of image you will project to other people, even though you wish it were different. This does not, of course, waive your right to complain or say whatever you want about the issue. You'll note that the comparison to my forum username is disingenuous as (a) I didn't name a character this, and (b) if I had, the meaning still would not be clear, whereas your character's name has only one meaning in English, and falls into a pattern of behavior almost exclusively tied to a specific demographic (immature internet trolls). The name does not imply threat (and is not comparable in that regard to Plagueis, Sidious, or Putricide), it implies promiscuity and carelessness in modern-day connotation. These are not my assumptions, this is the well-documented public image of persons who have chlamydia (hence the huuuuuuuuuge stigma, inappropriate as it is), which is a fairly short jump (albeit, still a jump) to the logical assumption that naming one's character that might produce the same reactions. I'm sure there are a huge number of people that love the name! The two are not mutually exclusive. In fact, you'll notice my point does not in any way address people who you interact with on a regular basis.

FYI, you're not selecting a race, you're selecting a background, of which your species -- in this case, human (cyborg) -- is one feature. From a programming perspective, it's so NPCs/quests/etc can act/react differently based on a flag that is not strictly appearance-based.

Do you actually think that? If that's the case, you should definitely re-read the thread. I get the impression from your responses that you're either attempting to troll for rage reactions (since these are the only ones you're responding to), or that you have some point to make about safe sex and you're just going about it in a weird way. It's a deliberately chosen homonym of a plain English word with no alternative definition. "My name is Viagrah, but avoid interpretations regarding erectile dysfunction medication, as those are only in your head!" EDIT: OHHHHHHHHH. Now this makes sense. Well, in that case, let me explain something: in English-speaking countries, naming a character after a sexually-transmitted disease (lethal or otherwise) says to other players "I am either juvenile or simply immature (probably both), and have no interest in roleplaying or treating this game seriously in any way."

More or less this. Long story short, light side / dark side is not a morality scorecard. Short story long, anything by Dickens.

While I totally agree with your second point, I have to point out that this is highly unlikely. The lowest, cheapest dataplan from a major carrier is twice the price of an MMO sub (at the monthly recurrence price), and for the price of most smartphones, you could have the Collector's Supreme Edition, with maybe another whole game to play during the queue times. That said, you're right: technology discrimination is not a thing.

Congratulations! You've discovered the core tenant of the entire Star Wars EU.

I saw Tarkin running around, so I was actually really surprised the blacklist for names isn't stricter than it is. To answer the OP, I might giggle to myself but it doesn't matter to me what you name yourself. Offensive? No. On the other hand, you're flagging yourself as a non-roleplayer (no matter your justification), so that's worth noting. I've had great experiences with roleplayers with terrible names in PLENTY of MMOs, so you just have work harder to break down that barrier (or enjoy the self-established seclusion).
