And I've been here since launch and the only time I remember skills being free was at launch -- i.e., when you pick your initial skills (or change them). As I said, IIRC, the fees were an order of magnitude less (50K range), but that's inflation for you.

To be clear, it's always cost credits to unlock new crafting tiers. I don't recall how much, but 500K doesn't seem out of line for the current economy. I've already made my Slicing costs back (gathering on Onderon/Mek-sha) as well as my Archaeology and close to breaking even for Scavenging; not sure on Bio (I have no level 70+ levels for those yet). I've also made back my initial investments on Artifice (no surprise) and Treasure Hunting. I'm thinking the others will pay back sooner rather than later. That said, tying some basic trainer scematics to Flashpoints/Ops/Conquest is pretty lame (and the main reason it will take some professions longer than others to break even).

Where are the vendors where you can buy CXP Boosts?

That worked, thanks.

The guilld I was in a few years ago dissolved and I've recently started playing again. I'm now the GM, but when I go to the Flagship I can't edit anything and the stronghold interface says I don't have permission to Ban or give out Keys (I only had a silver key before). Can anybody tell me how to get access to change decorations, buy rooms, etc. on the flagship? The only setting I could find in the GM ranks was the ability to launch an invasion.

There's no real reason to set any limit below the max...the only real reason to have ever set those limits artificially low was to prevent people from filling their stronghold with free items and getting the Conquest Stronghold Bonus, which they changed to no longer rely on decoration count.

So was SCORPIO before they made her ranged...[pours out a 40]

You need to think about crits when evaluating the profitability of crafting v. just selling mats, especially at the price points for the new augments.

Yes, but does the shot improve your attitude towards not getting a Cube?

And he/it needs a companion customization stuffing him into a Saul Karath uniform, dyed white OFC. Just guessing b/c/ I have a char that wears that outfit and somebody accused me of trying to look like Thrawn when I first started the char,

Probably not as much as mocking one of many people's favorite EU/Legends characters, which was kinda my point...

The augment schematics are available on the craft trainers.

*Admiral* Prawn.

Per the devs, the new augments (240?) will use the same mats as the current (236?) ones, just more of them.

I'm not talking about the boot function, I'm talking about the function where I get to choose which FPs I'm queuing for (all or just specific ones). I can either choose to queue for specific ones and not get the reward or queue for all FPs and get rewards. No reason not to treat PVP the same way. After I've completed my Daily/Weekly missions with all WZs possible (i.e., got the rewards), why not let me choose which WZ I'd rather play for the rest of the week, assuming I care enough, since choosing could increase my queue times.
