Is this still active ? Is there a limit on how many presence i can get by this way ?

kijthae: yes it is active. The limit is, +10 presence per companion per class. So if you finish up all story missions with all companions with all 8 classes, you can get a +400 presence bonus for your legacy.

AlixMV: it was confirmed by a dev post that crew skill crit chance is raised by 1% every 2000 affection points.

Which is why C2N2 is so incredibly awesome for Cybertech.

10k affection = 5%
Cyber Part = 5%
3 Legacy Perks = 3%

13% Crit rate on cybertech crafting. Yes, please.

Excellent, thanks. That was one of those hearsay things I knew, but I had no idea where I'd gotten the info from.

All start with a base of 15% (yellow and below items/missions) so 13% is actully 28%!

Try maxing your companions to 10k without running your own missions, you'll go broke.
Once you get past level 3 those gifts are expensive. But my missions are giving me everything except the weapon gifts I need.
I thought I'd buy some gifts to get the last 1000 points but figured it would cost me over 300,000.

I know some people got money like that to throw around but not me.

Small tip: Buy gifts for the first 2 ranks (upto 4000) do this before talking to crew to max effect. Only buy ank 1 gifts, for 2000-4000 it akes twice as many as using rank 2 but cost a third less credit wise.
