I'm not denying that it's happening as I haven't tried pvp in this game yet. But from what I see on that scoreboard there are two characters that didn't contribute at all. One I'm assuming is you since you got in before you were able to do anything. Is it hard to believe the other person wasn't in the same boat as you. I'm not saying afk farming doesn't happen and I agree that you shouldn't get that kind of a reward for zero input. I'm just saying your screenshot doesn't prove much. edit: as far as pointing out afk farmers.

I only got through the first page before I got tired of reading about everyone not making money off slicing. I think the majority of people crying about the change don't realize the point of gathering professions and crew skill missions. The way I see it, there are nodes throughout the game where you gather your mats. If you're doing space combat or instances or pvp you probably aren't going to encounter these nodes. So you can pay to send your crew out to get you mats while you're doing these things. No one does these missions to gather mats to put them on the market, they use these mats to further their main crafting skill. Then you're reverse engineering the things you craft in an attempt to reclaim some mats so you can make something else to get another skill point in your craft and/or "learn" an improved schematic. So there's no monetary gain in any of the other gathering missions. They brought slicing in line with the other gathering professions so now you'll have to struggle to buy your speeders and skills just like everyone else without slicing. If you want capital gain out of your skill, go farm up slicing nodes. Those are free.

As someone previously stated it's only on equipable items, not mods. Like a green shield generator will have the same base stats but there will be a prefix before the learned blue item that indicates what stats were added/increased. For example, Pheromone Shield Generator can be reverse engineered to learn Redoubt pheromone shield generator (same stats with an increase to defense) and/or Overkill Pheromone shield generator (increase to power). There's another post around here somewhere with all the prefixes and what they augment.

I think everyone in this thread is missing the point. The OP reverse engineers the blue resolute color crystals of green quality and got yellow colored crystals of blue quality as a result, instead of blue colored crystals of blue quality and wants to know why.

Actually, for the first time ever, I really like questing. Normally I don't read quest text and I accept my kill x mobs or collect y items quests and go on my merry way. I find myself actually listening to everything everyone says and quite involved in the stories here. Yah, it takes a while and some people get annoyed with me if we're questing together, but I think it's very cool the way they've done the quests here.

Oh, wow. I've luckily not seen any yet on the server i'm on. I hope they get that under control fast.

Yah, I don't know how rage starved my build is going to be. So I left the cost reducers out in favor of damaging/direct defense skills. If it turns out I don't have the resources then the damage increases will be borrowed from to fuel the defense skills.

December 2nd preorder, just got my email invitation

October should be in already. Check your junkmail, maybe it got filtered. Also I'd check your account settings just to make sure your e-mail is accurate

12-2 preorder here. I'm excited to see how far the next wave of invites will span. I'm not expecting to get in till tomorrow, if I get in it'll be a pleasant surprise.

R.I.P. Holy Diver....

There must be a lot of us procrastinators then, `cause if each day they're inviting about the same number of people and the only people left for friday are the decemberites...that's maybe a week and a half of orders matching the other invites that span about a month or more each.

How's the population and faction spread over there looking? Considering this server for empire characters if/when I get my invite tomorrow.

While waiting for my head start code I've been reading abilities and watching videos to try to get an idea of what playing a Juggernaut is going to be like. I want to tank end game and I believe leveling as a tank is the best way to get a handle on your skills as you get them. Now I haven't played any of the betas or anything but here's my planned spec with only videos and my imagination to give me an idea of what's going on. Any constructive criticism welcome. I took the force choke from rage partly because it's one of my favorite abilities from the movies and also a three second stun/dot sounds useful. My Build
