I'd say the first question that needs asked during today's stream is WHICH crew skill or skills are able to craft this item.

Why do you think I'm biased? Did you miss what they did with the G7 ship components at release?

Do you really think LS will cost <= 600 cartel coins?

I know everyone is screaming "They can be crafted" If its that simple, why would anyone buy it from the CM?

There are a shipload of skill 450 crafters. There are going to be lots and lots of crafters. I don't see the demand being greater than the supply.

I'm guessing the CM versions will be bigger, brighter, better?

Not a chance. See: Mounts, Treek, etc.

I think the LS things will be purchasable for in-game credits from crafters. Or I can craft it myself. So the cost of the thing in regards to CCs is completely irrelevant to me.

Further, I find myself with zero sympathy for someone who refuses 2 of 3 acquisition paths and focuses solely on an unknown cost of the third path, while musing loudly about past costs of other things that aren't applicable in any way whatsoever.

It could cost 60,000 CCs and I wouldn't give a single flying fart because the only people who will use CCs for it are the lazy and impatient.

There is nothing currently in the CM that I want or need so I have no reason to spend my CCs but even if I keep all my CCs from July to August that still doesn't mean I will have enough to buy it from the CM if they stay true to their pricing habits.
And yet again, buy in with credits from a crafter.

We're talking about the Legacy Storage thing. Do you think there will be a bigger flashier Legacy Storage Bank available only through the CM? Maybe with LED lights and a custom CD Stereo system?

And the people who buy them from the CM are the lazy and impatient. Or people with more real money than credits.

That's a good point. Expect CM version to have more (maximum?) slots unlocked. You know crafted ones will require more unlocking, just like every other storage unit that we have now.

I think the sales through CM would be minuscule if everyone can craft them. The ones that cant craft will buy them. I don't think they will be easy items to craft.

I never said I wouldn't craft it or couldn't craft it.

I'm arguing with your apparent assertion in an earlier post that it would cost 600cc or less via the CC route. Would you like to reconsider that post or perhaps clarify your statement in it?
