Yeah, the good thing about cargo-accesspoints is, that you can store materials in the "vault" and craft from that, without actually having the mats in your inventory. Thats pretty neat!

I was very confused about the whole thing too, when I got there. Then I took an arrow... wait... blaster shot to the knee! I obtained Biochem, Bioanalysis and Slicing. They are a very good mix actually, and right off the bat you can make item you can actually use! Stim (double effect; 16 Willpower + 8 Power at rank 1) and medic-packs - better than what the merchents sell. When questing I use my companion to tank if there is a concentrated amout of mobs, otherwise I send him out for Slicing quests, also doing Flashpoints and battlegrounds. Bioanalysis is kinda like Skinning from wow if you are familiar with that. Means it levels on the fly when killing bio-creatures (not humanoids or droids). Slicing provides money, BioAnalysis produce materials, BioChem produce consumables. Also "reversed engineering" helps on materials. (the icon is in the "inventory tab" and is a salvage function for the production-tradeskill you chose.

I havent fought any of the worldbosses yet, but they are not instanced - hench you can bring everyone, his dog, his speeder and his wookie, and the dogs companion and the wookies companion, a vendor, the vendors vendor and their companions! If its needed tho, is another part of the same question... however I would like to see the groupsize for flashpoints and open world increase. As it is now, its better to run 2 man + companions, over 4 man.

Since they already mentioned they would invite on friday aswell, my guess is November 25th - to December 16th is tomorrow

If only I had known it would have an effect, I would have preordered earlier! lesson learned

Guess I should shoot more people to their knees

hm I just got in, so they are still inviting
