I'm with the OP. Can them! I have always disliked these graphics.

The 5.5a patch notes say: The Command Experience (CXP) rewarded for the following planetary [Weekly] Missions have been greatly increased: Iokath now rewards 10,000 CXP Oricon now rewards 6,750 CXP Makeb now rewards 8,000 CXP But in fact, the weekly only gives as much CXP as the individual DAILY missions, which I think is 75 CXP. This is a very poor reward for a weekly set that is so time-consuming to complete.

Clearly Vigilance/Vengeance is disadvantaged by this change since it must now use a Skillful slot to regain functionality it already gets today without the use of that slot. The only real questions are how significant a change this is; whether it unbalances that discipline, and whether it unbalances the other two disciplines.

I bought a custom (orange) techblade on Coruscant for not too many credits from a Weapons Vendor. Maybe they added that at some point since it's otherwise so hard to keep Qyzen's weapon up to date.
