So how and where did you learn all this? Just trial and error? There is nothing in the guide here about what to pick with what. I guess you just have to have a gathering ability and that's that. Just wish it was mentioned somewhere in the game guide or whatever. When I was able to get crew skills- I really had no clue what was the best or if one of them is better for my class. I just picked out ones that sounded cool and went with it. Just wish the guide was better- Trying to figure too much crap out on my own:( Thanks everyone for their input!

Ah ok I see- I have cybertech, diplomacy and treasure hunting. I assume none of those allow me to gather? Do I just go to the crafting vendor and change it out- if so which one do I need. Kinda crazy it's just not a "built in" ability for everyone:confused:

Thanks for the helps all. Sorry I have no idea if I have the skill or not. There is nothing in my abilities that shows that. Where would I check for that?

I've searched around a bit and haven't found anyone else having this problem. It may not even be a problem and is something I'm missing- but I can't pick up a thing and my companions can't either. Select the target and Right click for me - ctrl-right click for my companion right? Nothing happens for me. I'm probably just being a noob and overlooking something.

You have until the 22nd (think technically midnight tomorrow night) to input your product code, which is in your game box. After that you are waiting until you get it to play

ah ok- that's still not a bad deal as you can easily repair your gear at any vendor

I haven't noticed it penalizing you in any way as far as stats go. I am curious if anyone knows this definitely, but I think the only penalty is the time you wait to be revived (or travel back to where you were from the med center which takes time as well)

If you go into Key Bindings- Chat category- then look for the 'Open Chat' bind. Mine was set to 'O'- I changed it to ENTER and that fixed it.

That was it!! I went in to that bind and it was set to 'O' for some reason? I changed it to ENTER and voila I can enter text now! Thanks a million Ghostbear! Never would have thought it was that key. Thanks everyone who helped!

Ooooh- nice tip. Thanks!

yeah I get why they are doing it- just bummed- oh well the wife will be happy:p

I've been at the office all day and was looking forward to getting in a few hours tonite- looks like it aint happening with the maintenance. 7-12 EST? That just sucks. All the other times are the middle of the night (early AM for the EU) - I know launch is tomorrow, but I'm just voicing my disappointment.

Edit- double post

Yeah I'm not even sure you have to do that. I actually went on to Drumond Kaas without choosing an AC and then remembered later that I still had to do that and took the shuttle (didn't have my ship yet) back to the fleet station and found the vendor and had no trouble. I think I was lvl 12-13 by that time.

Tough to kill that dude at level 12. I was lvl 14 with Khem Val helping and it still was a battle. Make sure you use that device you were given that disables his cybernetic stuff when fighting him. It makes it much easier. And yeah sounds like you just have to hit up the vendor in the imperial fleet. They will set you up with your advanced class.
