Played Beta and have subbed on and off every few years ever since. Returning once again and was hoping someone current could help answer the following - - I plan to play a Sith but basically, I am only interested in good old fashioned Empire vs Republic content; can I essentially play through a class story and then skip Eternal Empire content to then play what (I think) is a return to Empire vs Republic gameplay and stories? I always felt Eternal Empire, although great in places, was far too much of a story built to fit an MMO, rather than the preferable, other way around. So really, as much as possible, I would like to play a character who stays aligned to the Sith/Empire and to skip as much as the Alliance/Eternal Commander stuff as possible. Assuming the above is possible, is a viable route to take - - Class Story > 'Essential flashpoints' > Revan Reborn content > 'New' Empire vs Republic content? Thanks in advance to anyone who cares to reply.

Ah ok, cheers. So basically if I wanted to do it for RP characters it would only really be that particular character who had access to the ship, out with the difficulty you mentioned? How much is it to commission a flagship these days?

Played from beta but never tried this although I have always thought about it - for RP purposes have a flagship. Could I, in theory, get the group number required to start a guild and then simply purchase a flagship? Could I also allow my alts to join the same guild in order to use it?

I agree with this TC, Star Wars is indeed dying. I feel like it does though, live on through the magic of SWTOR, the greater lore and our memories. So really, its just the movies that have died. TFA is one of the most lore destroying, contrived pieces of crap I have ever seen, its not a Star Wars movie, its just awful. From the terrible acting, to the terrible script, to the pathetic story and to the sickening fan service, it has killed any chance of me watching any more SW movies. The extended story and lore with Darth Krayt etc is an excellent story and would have made for a much better narrative than what we got with TFA. And yes, like you said earlier, the Old Republic timeline and stories, not just those in the game, are also far superior.
