is there a chance of seeing more new companions in the future?

Greetings Devs,

The general consensus amongst the Scoundrel community is that the Dirty Fighting and Scrapper specializations are extremely underpowered in PvP, and even more so in PvE. Is there a plan to change these specializations and make them somewhat viable?

Thanks for your time.

Would Bioware ever consider swapping classes from one faction to the other? I am thinking that the Republic will get the Bounty Hunter and the Empire will get Smugglers (since these classes can be easily cross factioned). The stories stay the same, just change factions.

On that note, you need to increase character slots too (try 16 slots instead of 8).

What was the reason for using the "Holy Trinity" system instead of something that would feel more like Star Wars?
I never read the books so not sure if they did thier, but i never saw any jedi magically heal a friendly in the movies.
Also are there any plans to make the Op's feel more like Star Wars? In the movies they would always split up to achieve different goals, i didnt see Luke, Laya, Han, Obi-won, and chewy all beating on Vader at the end.

Will we see some Server Faction events? such as planetary objectives that when seized by a faction will bring said planet under faction control, granting like a buff or maybe access to vendors? I feel like you guys have done a really good job separating the faction quest zones. something like an event like the one previously suggested I feel could ramp up world pvp participation.

I'm a fan of the clean, well-matched appearance presented by crafted sets of orange armor. Can we expect to see more such sets coming out in the near future? Would be nice to have more options...

Will their be any new color crysrals added to the game? Like maybe gray, viridian, rainbow, clear, brown, gold, black, and maybe have all these be schematics for artfice crafters? Also, will their any events like maybe a dueling tournament, pazzack, and speeder or pod racing? And when we remove anything from armor why do we have to pay to remove that mod/crstysal/armoring/misc? Since the stuff in the armor is bound why should their be a cost to remove the piece you want to put into the orange gear you want?

What's the status of engine optimization ? I'm asking specifically about high-end rigs.
You are not your rig specs. You are not your K/D ratio. You are not your character level. You are not your sig.

When will space combat, quests, and content be seriously discussed.

Or if that isn't politically correct enough:

Please justify why the existing space combat is superior to a more robust system, such as was featured in the previous Star Wars MMORPG?

With the numerous amount of daily, weekly and achievement quests building up in our logs, as well as other miscellaneous bits and pieces, my quest log fills up nice and quick, making it difficult to do dailies. Are you looking at expanding on the current limit of 25 quests? Possibly to 40?
