hey jeff, loved the article. thanks for telling us a bit of what's in your heads down there in TX. also, one question: any progress on this? (are any players reading this thread still who are having this particular flavor of graphical gagging?) kthxbai

can you talk about efficiency bonuses for crew skills? are they a percent reduction to the time it takes to complete tasks, or is there more to it than that? also, is there an efficiency bonus granted by companion affection? how does it scale from 0 affection through to full?

how do efficiency bonuses work for crew skills? does the efficiency number equate to a percent reduction in the time it takes to complete missions or is it more complicated than that? what is the efficiency differential between a companion at 0 affection versus a companion at full affection?
