HK-51 set to damage has Assassinate. I don't know if it's the same ability as I got him and Treek after the whole "choose role" thing but he does have Assassinate, or at least an ability called Assassinate.

Honestly, I could care less about the HK-55 Bonus Chapter. Sure, it's a shame to miss that but as someone has said, it's completely missable. My issue is that fact that you needed to sub to keep HK-55 after a certain point. He was already in the game, and now all the people who chose not to sub are screwed out of a companion. Again, the chapter isn't my issue and all things considered it was a good business move. However, KotFE itself has been released for over two years now (October 27th, 2015) and on January 11th, 2018, it will have been exactly two years since the HK-55 Sub Event (if you can call it that) has passed. Sub rewards have been given out before, although very sparingly (Kakkran Daggerstar and only because KOTOR came to Xbox One) but I feel that I can at least try to bring a solid argument to the table for allowing everyone to have the alert Arma Rasa at least. Niko Okarr and Shae Vizla aren't tied to the story as a whole; HK-55 was already in the story before he did his thing.

With my income after bills I don't have that much leftover money. I only sub when I need new expansions, because I'm used to the restrictions. Forum posting would definitely be a lot easier than googling answers for stuff like "Lokin KotFE guide" or "SWTOR crashing." Even if I have some kind of cap, knowing that I can post here if I need to would be nice. I agree with gating access behind gameplay. That seems like a good idea. But maybe Preferred Status could do it by default, albeit with a limit on total posts per day, before they reach the in-game requirements. It would be another reason to spend money for people... even if it's ultimately not important.

Seconding this. Would definitely be useful.
