So far, Skadge is the only Companion I really hate. LS, if I'm given the opportunity to imprison rather than kill, I'll do that. One of my Imp DS characters might kill Vik, but I'm mostly LS on my many alts.

Given I have a number of other Companions to work with now, and they're not role-restricted, I've opted for to wait for them to reappear in the storyline naturally. My Smuggler married Risha, and I want the reunion to be special.

Yes, Makeb is the Rise of the Hutt Cartel expansion. I ended up doing this trick five times when characters hit 47. I hit 55 before the final missions, so I'm saving those storylines for when I can actually get XP again.

How about a story quest credit award boost to go along with the XP boost and zero-credit skills? I have so many characters it's proving impossible to keep them geared decently, especially companions. It doesn't have to be 12x, but even a 4-6x boost would be a help.

I get Error 1003 when I try and connect, so something is still not fixed.

Same problem. Just noticed it in-game.

It looks good. Hopefully we won't miss one another...

Works for me! Here's my character list: Republic: Raskindo -- 47 Gunslinger (Republic Main) Reen'doe -- 20 Gunslinger Steelbuck -- 27 Commando (DPS spec) Tehenna -- 24 Vanguard (tank spec) Christania -- 33 Sage (DPS spec) Ha'rex -- 18 Shadow (tank spec) Ruciana -- 25 Guardian Omical -- 21 Sentinel Imperial: Mago'rn -- 33 Merc (DPS, Imp Main) Steeldoe -- 24 Powertech (tank) Alcibane -- 18 Operative (healer spec) Ti'oxess -- 18 Sniper Doelean -- 24 Sorc (DPS) Stonegate -- 18 Assassin (tank) Phasma're -- 17 Marauder Arresel -- 18 Juggernaut You could say I know all the planets before Alderaan very, very well. Thanks!

And I mean very alt-friendly. I have 16 alts (8 Rep, 8 Imp and 8 male, 8 female, for the dialogue options), 15 of which are not in Guilds. I'm mainly looking for getting through leveling content, Heroics, and Flashpoints with each AC. This is just the way I play. My highest is a level 47 Gunslinger about to finish Voss. I have a lump of alts around level 18 on both sides. The 10% XP bonus is impossible to ignore.

Bioware, having a discount for subscribers to change anything is double-dipping at its worst. I was under the impression that once you purchased the Cathar you'd at least have one free species change. Changing anything other than species should cost in-game credits, not CC.

Re ship customization or new ships: I'm disappointed, but understand there are technical issues involved. However, that doesn't mean you can't provide different interior or exterior looks that don't affect the overall layout of the ship inside or out.

TOR was not a rushed game. Star Trek Online was developed in 18 months. I played that from launch. That was a rushed game and it still shows two years post-launch. I think BioWare's made some rookie mistakes when it comes to MMO game design, but I was willing to give STO over 500 days of sub time before I decided to look elsewhere. TOR is several parsecs more polished, despite the lumps of texture problems due to game engine limitations, than Star Trek Online was and still is. They'll fix it. I saw on Gamebreaker.tv that they'll be adding Guild Banks by the end of March. What they need from us as players is constructive, respectful criticism.

I'm enjoying the various storylines tremendously. As an altoholic, this is like a fine wine.

The vast majority of players haven't hit 50 yet, so this isn't really a valid assumption.

It's great! Before, I had characters on Hyperspace Cannon I couldn't get to because of the constant queues going on half an hour and more. But now that things have evened out I can play them whenever I want. Funny, that.
