That about sums it up, all of the "female" toons in the slave & dancer outfits, who also have their comps dressed in them. I pretty much assume said player is a male living out a "fantasy" vicariously via pixel.

In protest, I now have my merc run around with Skadge out where he is dressed in the Exposed Extrovert Chestpiece dyed a pretty purple shade. Hmmm maybe I should buy him Joris loincloth to go with it...

And

other players -especially when they're running in skimpy clothes on Hoth
He hee, sorry I've done that on my SI, before I had a lot of money saved up. But not to worry, I've bought a parka set that she wears when she goes to icy planets.

Ssshh, I almost resemble that remark. Just remove the housewife part, I wasn't very good at that.
I'll tell you what, then. Why don't you call me some time when you have no class?

Can you quote the source of that information? I had heard them say they didn't really have any reason for putting in swimming, but never remember them saying the engine wasn't capable. Considering they now have 3D space combat, I'd say they certainly have the capability now.

I personally have always hated swimming in MMOs...since the water is never deep enough to need to swim it doesn't really break immersion.

For some reason, this reminds me of that Doctor and all those orphans at Mannett Point on Ord Mantell lol. And they were worried about them not being able to swim it lol

On the small scale? The fact that my Companions vanish when using transportation. I can understand certain ones like T7 or Khem needing to do this due to their odd size, but it bugs me when the human-shaped Companions do this because they could either fit on our mount or just use their own. No, Pierce, no action here, just got off my speeder to harvest this fungi. Thirty seconds later . . . sorry, Pierce, still no action, just some goo this time. Sheesh, just stick around and hop on the speeder already!

On the larger scale, I'd say it is the "moment in time" planets that are, for lack of a better way to express it, set in the past for high level characters. Of course, you don't have to go to said planets then, but if you do it is kinda weird. I guess all planets have this issue to some extent (ex: Gormak issue on Voss), but it seems more glaring at times.

Come to think of it, wasn't there a quest-giver for Mannett Point who actually said, "The bridge is out, so you'll have to swim over there?"

I always wished they would have made it so your crew on your ship actually... moved around. The fact that they just stand there not doing anything (and the fact you can't talk to them other than of affection quests) is sort of lame. I also feel Cantinas should be a bit more lively and give people a reason to hang out there once and a while.
