Everyone is always begging for things to do with companions after maxing affection. I think it would be awesome if, after reaching max affection with a companion, it unlocked a weekly mission that you had to complete while using that companion. It could be as simple as running through a gauntlet of enemies to a finish line. THEN, have the quest reward give you one random orange version of that companion's starter gear. This would be such AWESOME elder game activities for solo players, because it would eat up a lot of time trying to collect all the pieces you would want. Even more so if they weren't locked to that companion, because it would be fun mixing and matching those items on other characters. Allow them to be sold on the GTN (because face it, you're going to wind up with lots of doubles) and this gives people incentive to do those missions even if they may not want that starter gear for their companions, because I'm sure they would fetch a pretty good price.
