This was a mistake. Turns out the suggestion box is nothing more than an opportunity for some ones to troll the thread.
It was stupid for me to open this thread and I'm sorry.
I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells.

Presumably only for LS Jedi. LS Sith are just calmer than normal, not totally serene, and the idea is totally irrelevant for gun classes.

I don't understand this. As it stands, the helmet *does* stay on or off according to the setting(1), except if you drop your subscription and don't buy the unlock. What problem are you trying to solve here?

Sorry, I don't understand this. What are you trying to achieve? (Use *more* words.)

Except for the ones that look good on Empire and supremely dorky on Republic. That said, it has always seemed strange that *any* gear has a split appearance. There's a bunch of world-drop armour sets (Chancery, Norris, etc.) that have faction-specific appearance.

Explain? Examples? More words?

I'd guess there's some sort of technical limitation, not to mention the supreme weirdness of a mount that can take Nexu or Jaesa or T7 or the Voreclaw as a passenger in the same shape mount.

Add your voice to the existing bug reports.

Sorry, what are you trying to do? Hide the hood or hide the neck?

That's more difficult than you think, since the run-time *and* the difficulty of the same FP are wildly different depending on the group composition, skill level of the players, etc.

Legacy names aren't unique (ever since patch 1.3.7), so adding the legacy name would be substantially less useful than you think.

Define "worth to fight for"?

The "Destroy the Star Fortress" missions *are* soloable. You have to do the [VETERAN] mode of the mission, but they were designed to be soloable (but easier in a group), and remain soloable today.

Ref: these two posts I made a few days ago:

I reawoke my character who did the H2 Star Fortress stuff way far back in the day, starting with Voss before the Great Companion Nerf of 4.something, when companions were a teeny bit OP for DPS and heal, but had catastrophically broken defensives, and were consequently super-squishy. That imposed an effective *upper* limit of 20-25 on your healing companion's Influence rank in the DSF missions, and if you didn't respect it, the companion's heals outweighed your threat-from-DPS, and the companion took aggro, got squished because of the broken defensive stats, and then you died from no companion healing.

So I'm on a level 75 Gunnery Commando with 304s and no set bonus gear and only the amplifiers that the Mistress of Pain gave me along with the gear. Lana is along for the ride, at Influence Rank 50.

Up to and including the EPHEMERIS room, no real problem. It's not trivial, but most of the difficulty comes from being slightly rusty on Gunnery and slightly rusty on harder content and having mobs that take a lot of damage to kill, rather than actual difficulty. I have to go back to work now (telework is good), so I'll pick it up this evening after the maintenance. If that means I have to redo the first half, so be it. I'll add replies afterwards.
And (that evening):

Conclusion: No, I wouldn't want to do it with a level 70 with a medium-rank companion, nor without Aygo's turret, but I soloed it, and without set bonus gear, without a proper Tactical (Krall's Accord is a waste of space), and with only 304 Item Rating.
The reference to the "Mistress of Pain" refers to that figure known as Lady Luck, Fortuna, or (in the Discworld) "The Lady".

(1) Even when using the Outfit Designer, it follows the setting, but each tab has its own setting.

Are you asking for companions to have dual roles?

I'm not sure the channel name really makes that much of a difference.
