It doesn't. We have to buy them via GTN or not craft them at all.

In a galaxy far far away.... I got my early game access today, waited for 1.30 hour queue to get in, played for 2 hours, got dc'd, and now it's a 1800+ people queue with estimated time 2 hours. My Saga begins NOW! Not.

Armstech also looks viable to make our own blasters. Armormech also if we want to gear up ourselves and companions. Biochem is also a good choise, our own medpacs, stims and implants.

As a Sawbones healer is pretty much a non-brainer what build to use, maybe 1-2 tweaks here and there. What about a pure DPS or/and PVP build using Scrapper or/and Dirty Fighting skill trees? Is anyone planning to play his Scoundrel that way? What skill builds are you thinking?

Me thinks the player's character should always have priority over any player's companion. So in order to not have "ninja" loots in flashpoints or general group content, everyone must accept and respect that. If not, prepare yourself for drama.
