It's finally working for me now. sheesh, unsure what was going on. All the text was looking like html code in the post

So, is this thread unreadable for anyone else now the the new forum update? Hyperlinks not working, none of the fonts show up on the OP

Previous forum posts with great guides that had special fonts/colors etc are now showing as a much of html code it looks like.... what a bummer. For example.... The below, shows as a bunch of basic text, very long, no hyperlinks, https://forums.swtor.com/topic/650717-stasies-galactic-starfighter-guide-ships-components-crew-tips/#comment-6960321

Way old, but I like your idea. I have no kids, my wife doesn't play... no one is breaking into my house to access my swtor account. Obviously it could be an option, for those that dont like it dont need to do it...

I've got a 49 Merc and can be #1 if I want with 5-8 medals usually. I also have a 36 PT and make for a great Hutt Ball runner as shield tech, and still have a ton of fun pvp. I find that DPS is a lot easier as a Merc, (coming from being a Hunter in WoW). I haven't tried the DPS spec of PT yet, but both BH specs were fun, so I'm leveling both

Am I the only one that thinks this gun looks stupid? Something like a naboo blaster...

Yeah, I like the idea of show boating but, make it different some how, or have multiple animations to add some variety. Where it cycles between 2 or 3 different animations every other time the skill is used, so then it would look like he's really show boating. I like the way a Powertech unloads, just holding the pistol up in a correct shooting stance supporting his grip with the other hand. You know what, I guess I'm barking up the wrong tree here wishing this game was more realistic with it being a cartoonish scifi game, where all bounty hunters are limited to pistols... I would care less how he shot his weapon if I could use a carbine. I have the problem too of shooting corpses repeatidly. I figured he was just making sure they were dead...

Anyone else think the unload animation is ugly when spec'd as a Merc? I think it looks so dumb to have a guy shooting two pistols, while crossing his arms, and holding both gangster style. It looks semi okay when he crosses his arms during sweeping blasters just because it's for a brief second and it's in a sweeping motion. I think it would look much better and natural if he just didn't cross his arms at all. Or had an animation like Jango Fett when he unloaded on Obiwan during their fight. Wish I could make this a poll.

I'd even be happy with a LLC (Light Lightning Cannon).

I'm out 50k credits I tried sending to an alt I recycled with the same name. Not playing anymore until they resolve this issue. How do they screw up the mail system after so much beta testing?

Boba Fett was around during the Star Wars Galaxies era, long after the Old Republic. A time when every bounty Hunter realized they could use something bigger than just a pistol (angry stare at SWTOR), when bounty hunters could use carbines, rifles, and light lightening cannons, and could travel using their jetpacks... The bounty hunters in swtor are just hardened smugglers, Boba Fett was a true bounty Hunter in swg... A mix of powertech, merc, sniper, and commando.

Agree

Will alternate characters I create now take advantage of the legacy system or only after it's implemented? I'm interested in playing a 2nd or 3rd character, but not if they don't get the benifits of the legacy system. For example, will only the characters created after the legacy system is added and unlocked be legacy characters? I have an Imperial Agent I wanna play along with my Bounty Hunter, and don't know if it would be a waste of time now if I'd have to recreate him to use the legacy system.

This is what I plan on doing as well. I think I'll be using the wrist blade more. One thing I didn't like about Powertech is the higher tier talents, I don't like most of them.
