Its kinda obvious that u have started to fall off from the lore with all these unifaction gear in Cartel market..

First lightsaber colour cap removed so so reps can look like Sith and vise verse and lost the whole idé with Dark/lightside lvling..

Then the items in Market..

*Eradicator mask
*Imperial Officer
*Galv and energ infantry trooper armor etc etc
That can be worn by both Factions?
So the empire will now have Troopers on fleet and Republic have a Imperial Officer running around on their fleet?'

Just dont get it.. but faction limitations on the gear or stick to how its suppost to look.. Empire Vs Republic... over and out

Lore simple this is the time of the great galactic turmoil , before the rep going to win !

So we are going to corrupt and sway as many we can to the dark side !
before we have to be driven out from the core and live on the fringes of society !

awaiting episode 7-9 any other questions !
so suffer republic suffer

Didn't the Lore leave the room and slam the door behind it already, when they introduced an Ewok companion?

Yeah kinda but she is Mercenary but still dont think a Ewok should work for the Empire.. They should have made Treek and Blizz as Repuplic and Emperial Merc...

And Dark/lightside is a also removing the feeling of the game when both faction starting to look the same.. There is a reason why u pick Empire or Republic.. Dark vs Light... All will be playing grey soon...

Hard to play gray at up to a 50+ You're just not going to find relics for sub-50 that dont have a LS/DS requirement.

Lore didn't break with Treek. One solitary Ewok made it off of Endor with the help of a droid to pilot the ship. There aren't a million little Ewoks running around... There's one. Same way there is one Khem Val running around. The only thing that is even slightly lore breaking is that for an unfamiliar species I can easily understand her jibber-jabber.

Lightsaber colors are and have always been based only on the kind of crystal in the saber, so the current color system is in fact more in line with lore than the alignment-limited previous system was. It was the limitations that contradicted the lore, and their removal was a good thing.

As for the gear, surely it's beyond absurd if you got a piece of gear from the opposing faction but couldn't equip it for that reason? Is there a switch on a piece of clothing that says "This guy isn't from my faction, I won't let him wear me"?
Imagine what A New Hope would have been like if those Stormtrooper uniforms refused Luke and Han to wear them!

Besides which, this is a game first and foremost and if the player wants to 'cross-faction dress' he should be able to do so.

So then whats the point of it all then? Does the game say +3 on box? so what kind of Jedi goes to the darkside path and dresses like Darth with a Red Saber?.. Then he should have picked Sith when he started the game or am i wrong?
