Official Q&A Thread for July 20th Blog Post

Will classes be able to wear gear that there mirror class on the oppoiste faction has at some point? (Ex. Smugglers being able to wear the TD-07A Scorpion Jacket- requires Imperial Agent)

I transferred one of my characters to the Prophecy of the Five server and now my ship is gone! I have space missions, the droid and am on a planet you can only get to via your ship...but no ship. Anyone else have this problem?

A question regarding character customisation:

There are (empty) custom belts and bracers in the game, but no armoring mods for them. Are there plans to make f.i. the endgame artifact belts/bracers modded so we can further customise our look?

I am an artifice and I have not seen any endgame artifice drops EVER and I have been playing since the Beta test weekends right before launch and have had a lvl 50 toon since early March.

What is he drop rate of hilt and enhancement schematics in flashpoints and operations?
Are the type of crafting drop random or set per boss? i.e. Does SOA always drop synthweaving or is it random?
If the drops are random, have you guys verified your algorithm or is it meant to be that rare?

Thanks for taking time to read my question and I hope can clear this up for me.

This is something I've been wondering about as well.

Please explain the exact effect that expertise and PvP equipment have in flashpoints and operations.

Thank you.

What was your intention for who should be the best receipent for a tank's guard? I would think that the highest dps would be the best candidate but when I heal on some of the LFG flashpoints I find I often get healing aggro when there are multiple mobs spread around.

How close is SWTOR in its development of a new mini-game(s)?

Having a non-combat mini game would give current players and future players something else to do other than combat content.

Many Sith Sorcs are unhappy with the way our survivability and arguably our damage is in pvp. Other classes have many counters to our few, the feel is we have to really time everything right compared to the other class rolling on us. Are there any plans on improving Sith Sorc pvp as far as damage/healing/survivability?

Any chance on revisiting the Digital Deluxe/Collector's edition items? The general consensus is that the items were a major letdown, and hardly worth the extra money we paid for them. The holo-dancer's cooldown should be lowered, and the Speeder should have 100 and 110% versions.
