I'm going with probably. I say that because unrelated stims put you into cooldown, so I can't imagine them letting us stack or have quicker access to the same kind of stims just because they're reusable.

On my station, in the middle was the cantina. Surrounding the cantina was a circular hallway. He was along the wall in that hallway. If BW would let folks from late August pre-orders in, I could check for sure...

The map looked paper in the unboxing video. And I have my Ultima V cloth map right here on my desk.

The space station is exactly where it was. When I got a drop for a companion mod kit, I could only choose one of three. On the station, I could buy 6 different kinds.

Watching the forums and every so often starting up another replication job on our storage at work. I love VPNs. I have to get 120TB replicated, and that doesn't happen fast when it's broken into like 50 different volumes. I'm also trying to figure out how the hell I'm going to provide 15TB of storage for some critical data when the equipment it needs to reside on won't ship until 12/26. I'm hoping I can solve all of this before I get in so that I don't feel guilty that I'm blowing things off to play a game.

Material requirements in SWTOR are minimal. Go hit TorHead or db.darthhater.com and look at the green items you can make. Usually 1-2 sets of materials and something to glue them together (grossly simplifying here). If you don't worry about reverse engineering items into better schematics, you'll never even need the special materials you get from Underworld Trading. I didn't notice price differences in training, but was so happy to be in beta, I didn't follow that part closely. I plan to run Cyber, but haven't decided officially yet. I have 4 crew skills I want to use, and only 3 slots to use. So I have to continue the mental fight over it.

Bio is nice since you can loot creatures and build stuff as you go. Cyber is nice since you can continually mod your gear as you move along. Cyber will eventually get you grenades you can't run out of. Which is cool. But Bio will get you implants that should help you take more damage, etc. Bio probably has a more sustained market, but the cyber stuff might make more money per sale (though fewer sales). That's all speculation on my part, so take it for what it's worth.

If a secure API is released, and a secure app is produced, my work efficiency will crater. But until that time arrives, I am going to be taking my laptop to work so I can log in during lunch, and send my companions on a few more missions. Why not make a little extra cash, or gather a few more supplies while chowing down. My primary concern about this will still be the potential of having your login information passed through somebody else's app. Hopefully a mechanism will be available to have a hashed account that blocks actual logins, or access to the inventory, or something so that a compromised account can't be looted. But I'm all for it, and have several iPads/iPhones/Androids that are ready to be used if something comes down the pike.

My absolutely favorite thing about MMOs is being displayed in this thread. The thread was started by somebody in Turkey, and has had responses from Missouri and Colorado, USA. The other posters didn't note in their bio where they're from, so we could have even more international diversity. Can't wait to get into the game, and start meeting folks from around the world.

You have more willpower than I. But I did start taking longer doing other things so that I'd stay out of the story. I told myself I was just testing other aspects, or flying to other planets to see the graphics. But it was really just keeping myself from finding out more about the story.

That made laugh. Thank you.

I don't think you can queue missions, just crafting. As soon as I sent my companion on a mission, I had no companions listed in my crew skills window.

Thank you very much. I was getting ready to build my own. You rule.

Be sure to look at your mini-map. It will light up the nodes so you can go to them easier. I found a *ton* of safes that way for slicing. And plenty of Desh while scavenging.

I had the same problem with both Mako, and my ship's droid. I'd get opposite messages sometimes.
