While female characters do have less flirt options (and when they do, it's with butt ugly NPCs) compared to male characters, it's not an issue with all story lines. As a female imperial agent, you get to flirt and then some before leaving the first planet.

I'm hoping more for a 4th "set bonus" slot so we can experiment with different set combinations. This probably means that there should be more than one set per class/spec for pve and pvp.

I think there needs to be a copy of this in the PTS forum.

BW already responded to the rakata weapons bug. It's in the Public Test Server forum somewhere. Georg Zoeller says it's going to be fixed but not in time for the next patch. Bump for passive / toggle!

Bump for passive or toggle.

I get that, sure. No point in getting a crafting profession otherwise. What I'm pointing out though is that a level 49 crafted item is very comparable to a level 50 Rakata piece. I'd easily accept that were it a Columni or even Tionese piece. AFAIK, Rakata is the best you can get right now.

That's what I was on the fence about. Higher threat and HP vs higher mitigation. I have 20k HP now with BH buff. Getting all three of those Rakata items (2x implants, 1x earpiece) should get me close to 22k. Hell, maybe I should just get them and see. It's not like I have other things to do with my daily commendations. I don't have any problems holding threat but the extra punch is nice I guess.

Thanks for adding nothing to the thread. I'm a Biochem so I can make those implants. What I don't get is why level 49 trainer bought schematics can be better than a level 50 Rakata piece. I'd expect that from level 50 schematics that drop in HMs and Ops, not from a level 49 trainer schematic.

Am I missing something or are level 49 master crafted artifact implants and earpieces better than the Rakata items you can get with 120 daily commendations? http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/580/rakata.jpg/ http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/580/crafted.jpg/ http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/213/comparisono.jpg/ Rakata Survivor's Implant: 118 Endurance 77 Willpower 48 Shield Rating 37 Defense Rating Mastercraft Veracity Nano-Optic Resistance Implant 72 Endurance 45 Willpower 40 Shield Rating 27 Accuracy 22 Absorption (lvl 49 artifact augment) 60 Defense Rating Other than having higher endurance and willpower, the crafted level 49 piece completely trumps the Rakata pieces. Is the 46 endurance, 32 willpower and 8 shield increase enough to compensate for the loss of 27 accuracy, 22 absorption and 23 defense?

Are the mission skills you learn from plans one time use only? I bought two missions: archaeology and treasure hunting. Both required 340 skill to use. The last time I used them was before the most recent maintenance. They still haven't showed up on my crew skills task as of now.

The crew skill trainer doesn't have any schematics for willpower based shields but every kind of generator, shield and focus is there. My SA tank may soon be forced to use strength shields.
