thanks for the replies
This all sits well and good for armor. You want to keep the look so you upgrade the mods as you go and can keep the same custom armor as long as you like.
But what about lightsabers? I see no difference between a custom [Corrupting Focus Lightsaber] and a custom [Lightsaber]. Since the sabers look the same and there are no stat differences, is there literally no difference between the two other than the name? Can i level to 50 with just the first custom saber I come across in this game and just switch out the mods like with armor? Kind of silly imo.
I understand at endgame there are some purple sabers that will be better.
