At this point It wouldn't surprise me if it was to cover a limitation of the games engine.

Well, it probably has a cooldown for the same reason that there is a global cooldown: to limit the amount of queries sent to the server in bursts.

But it could probably be a lot shorter and still serve that purpose. So who knows?

Completely agree. At the very least, cut it in half.
Stop exploding you cowards!

I completely agree. Make this easier for future characters and newcomers and remove this delay.

Or.....just stop being such evil, dark side characters and then Mako and Vette won't NEED your crappy gifts xD.

Some of the companions seem to just be random like or dislike.

Plus its difficult to raise all companions purely via dialogue.
Real Star Wars space combat please, not Star Wars Fox! Maybe some PvP and flight too?

Except there isn't really any reason to nerf something that ultimately doesn't matter at all. It's just fluff.... and it would be nice if we got to get through that fluff at whatever pace we want to.
