On Red Eclipse. Sub good until Jan 2016

As it says in the title. I just end up sitting at the KotFE splash screen and the data port icon in the bottom right whirs away and I get nowhere - left it for 25 minutes + and still nothting. Any ideas folks, my early start is dribblling away and I can't use it :-(

Wrong colours, wrong levels, it's just shoddy workmanship plain and simple. If it's worth doing, it's worth doing RIGHT! Stay behind after class and try again....

I have a couple of the new 1.3 schematics. TBH they're crap from a looks point of view, they don't match the rest of the sets colour sheme i.e. the Electrum Onslaught Gaunlets are orange & white while the rest of the set is a kind of camo green, Commando Elite Boots are grey/red while the rest of the set is white/grey/black. And yes I know you can unify the colours to chest, its still just plain old lazy dev work.

As far as I'm aware there are no "augmented schematics" in game. To get an augmented item, it has to be crit crafted. That gives you the augmented item i.e. belt or chest or weapon, NOT the augmented item schematic. Running level 6 of any crew skill mission will not give you augmented schematics.

I thought the valour requirement was for wearing the BM armour, not for crafting it?

The "unfiy colours" doesn't always give the desired results, if, like the Commando Elite chest piece your armor has some fine detailing (a yellow/gold piping effect down the flanks in this case) in another colour to the main scheme you may end up with some unexpected results. When I unify colours when wearing the Commando Elite chest piece my boots end up being yellow and white instead of black and white, which is the main colour theme of the armour I was aiming for. Yes, I know I can just unselect the boots for colour unification. But armour dyes would be a handy way to pimp your gear in the way you want, rather than the way Bioware has seen fit to give us so far ( maybe Mr Lucas et al don't want to see pink attired Darths, I don't know) They would also provide BW with another money sink for the age old problem of inflation in MMOs.

As far as I know you can only reverse engineer orange shells if they have at least one mod in them. If a schematic were available via reverse engineering once the shell has a mod installed, then the tooltip would give the percentage chance of getting the schematic. If there's no percentage in the tooltip then I'd guess you can't RE to get a schematic.

As long as its ready before I finish Skyrim, it's grand ;-)
