Unlike many of you, I just found out that my profession - the only one I've actually taken the time to work on and was actually starting to make some money at - was being dropped. So, I've stopped my DNA sampling and creature crafting and I'm wondering: what should I be doing now to prepare for the "upgrade"?
I still have a few months with this account, so I am going to try out the new system. I think I'll do combat stuff (seems like that's the only thing TO do...). Is it worth my time grinding away at my carbine/combat xp? Or should I be grabbing as many low-level skills as possible just to have a few more points to play with when I respec?
Thanks for the input!

tbh...u are a bit unlucky, like all us BEs.
If you convert to a combat char, you are respecced based on CL. unless u are a cl80 Jedi/BE...then u prob aren't over CL60, and will not get above cl60.
If you convert to a crafter/entertainer then u will get to go on SPs used however...
Basically all the crafters and entertainers have a choice of 2 professions...and everyone else gets a full compliment of choices.
As for preperation...BE tissues for Chef are not made by Chefs, but are still used. Either they will be removed from game, will turn into looted components, or will become makable by Chefs. It may be worthwhile cooking up as many as u can, nad hoping they aren't deleted like powerups...because they will prob be worth a large sum if they do survive.

Thanks for the quick feedback!
I am a CL21 Carbineer as well, but that was mostly as a way to 'protect' myself while sampling DNA (some beasties took it VERY personally!). As far as my BE skills, I was level 4 DNA sampler and level 2 creature cloner...no chef skills (wasn't interested in food; wanted BEASTIES). Will my stockpiles of DNA samples convert into other goodies or disappear? Or do we really not know yet?
Will the total number of used Skill Points transfer? (I have been looking for the answers..but I have limited time to research AND play...guess which one wins out). I remember that during the previous respecs we were given you could reassign your SPs anywhere...
Thanks again!

an interesting suggestion from another (non-official) forum -
hybrid classes are possible, in a sense - utilizing your 2nd character slot as a sort of physical replica of your current character, with a variant of your current name.
i knew a few previous players who were doing this with paid alts, and of course further grind is involved - but i find the idea fascinating.
(providing you can stand the new game mechanics)

Yeah - I Mastered Doc ... held out for the last possible moment - dropped BE and now I'm grinding up CM - just for the CL80 rating so I don't get any more screwed then I already am - thanks to SOE getting rid of two of my professions....
I only did this so I can try out as many possible paths in this game - give it a month and a half trial (due to my friends that I've made) and then make up my mind if I'm gonna leave or not... So far I've tested and I'm not all that impressed....
During the time that I was still MBE - just before I dropped - I ran around making a ton of decoration pets for CH's that I know in memory of their pets that they no longer can use.... As well as making some for myself...
