Just a bump for some advice.

bh use assault armor. CU change everything in armor. It doesn t depends on your lvl, but on your skills. Have a look in your skills windows. You ll see armor hindrance bonus.

to fight NPC rebel/imp, you have to be combattant. to fight rebel/imp, you have to be sepcial force. Speak with recruiter.

No more gigantic buff. Entertainer just gave you 10 % bonus. No more BF.

Check lvl/profession required by your weapons. It changed. LLC move to rifle profession i guess.

No more queue. There are cooldown for each action. and you have to click each time. CTL+click on your toolbar=default action

Don't exactly know what you mean with the "not the right type of armor". You mean below your HAM the icons about armor hindrance?
The more advanced a piece of armor is the more it hinders your movement speed, rate of fire and accuracy. At Master you should be fully certified for the piece of armor that profession gives you. As MBH thats Assault armor (which includes Composite, Chitin, Bounty Hunter and Mandalorian armor (don't dream about it, just mentioning it ), and the respective faction armor [can be crafted now])

Check your armor it should give some protection values like "Kinetic 6832" or so. Thats slightly more than 50% absorb (6000 are exactly 48%, it climbs very slow from there, 10000 is 60% i think and the absolute theoretical max). Check AS forum for exact formula if you want.

You'll also see three values about the hinderance of your armor, and how much it really effects you.

About the weapons: I think you're refering to the other icon up there, when you equip a weapon? Nothing you can do about that, you will always get a slight snare when equiping a ranged weapon. Pistols are not so bad, rifles get the worst snare, carbines in the middle.
Weapons are now certified mainly at CL (Combat Level) the little number beside your name (or in Ctrl-C).
Some weapons also have a profession skill requirement, the Heavy Lightning Rifle for example is CL 54 and MBH (but since every MBH is at least CL 54 that basicly means MBH). Theres no weapon higher than 54.
LLCs are now Novice BH and worth crap at master level

About the rebel thing: As was already mentioned you have to be combatant or Special forces. Basicly "Overt" and "Covert" got replaced. TEFs are gone completely.
You can now be "On Leave", somehow like the old "covert", just making you effectively neutral. You can't be attacked or attack anyone neither NPCs nor PCs. You can be healed by everyone and heal other neutrals/on leaves.
"Combatant" is the second step, it allows you to attack enemy NPCs, and they're red to you, and will attack you on sight. Can only be healed by other Combatants and SFs of your faction, and can only heal Combatants of your faction and neutral/on leave.
"Special Forces" is practically the old "overt", NPCs will attack you on sight, and enemy SFs can attack you and you can attack them. Be aware that you'll be ganked by lots of jedis though. You can only be healed by other SFs and can heal SFs, Combatants and neutrals/on leave.

The healing part is important in pve-groups, sucks if you die because the doc is on leave and can't heal you since you're combatant. (and you'll need heals, buffs don't make you imune anymore and 90% armor is gone too)

Ok, that was a quick recap of the Combat Upgrade (CU)

you should have a respec token i would think if you just came back. save it until you fully understand whats going on, you may wish to change your template.

but will I be able to take the NPC's at the inv 4 lvl with weapons that are now junk? I had an awsome LLC with a dmg slice on it but if the LLC is no longer the good weapon it once was, then I will have an issue doing dmg. I might have to just create another toon and practice to see how the new system works. no more eye shot I guess either huh since mind no longer matters?

Theoretically you should still be in your 3 weeks /respec period where you can use /respec to change your template every 12 hours.

I'm not sure though. I could be wrong, but you should have 1 respec (the "token respec" - just a name, don't think about it).
So you might want to think of a new template and respec to that (choose one you can live with if you can't change it again!). Then test 12 hours later and see if you can respec again, if it works you're still in the respec phase and can test around with different templates.
