Thank you

I have read all the stickies in the forum on gear but they seam a little outdated. (they talk about Champion gear which isn't in the game) For PVE do you get some gear to start with when you hit 50 or are you on your own. For PVP, Same question. Thanks in advance

Where do you convert warzone coms to ranked coms, somewhere at the Imp. fleet? Thanks in advance
