Second, ST's are part of the Imperial Crackdown in some NPC cities to add to the immersive feel of the Empire's dark cloud hanging over the valiant Rebellion.
Or the attempts of the benevolent emperor to protect the citizens of the empire of the crazed and desperate rebels and others who break the law, depending on who you ask.

So their are troopers in all of the towns? Nice!No wonder there where Rebels shooting at the officers and storm troopers. Oh well. I helped out the troopers all three times I got on. lol It was kinda funny...they where sniping at the troopers from far away with rifles. So I got to about midrange and unleashed carbine hellon one Zabrak. Another apparently had a crap load of dodge so I used up a lot of grenade weapons. Imperial Detonators I think they where called. Can't quite remember lol. The other I just blinded with traps and pelted him to death.
I forgot how enjoyable this game was. I'm having a great time ^_^
Mostly I try to just do PvE. But I guess it can't be helped some times.
One thing I noticed is that they fixed the cloning thing. Got taken out by some pirates, when I went back to the facility on Lok. I got Decay 5% on my gear. Normally I wouldn't really care much. But apparently my gear is really rare and valuable these days, I have come to find out.
A master taylor had made everything I own early on in the game. So my shirt, jacket, slacks, boots, gloves, and belt are all bio engineered and 4 slotted.
Before, you just respawned and that was that. But can a taylor fix it? Is there a risk of the item being ruined if you fix the decay?
If you pay Insurance the decay is only 1% in PvE and 0% in PvP.....most of the time when bugs don't bite ya.
Yes anybody can repair the clothing or most other items, but a Master gets a bonus.....most of the time when bugs don't bite them.
BTW, BE clothing isn't rare, although maybe you have something special....

You are taking all the RP'ing fun out of this....
No, just pointing out the (equally valid) imperial side of the GCW (which I may or may not be in game). I've seen too many "ub3r l33t" imperials (and rebels too actually)who have no real understanding of their side of the war, theircharacter's motivations, or anything of the character beyond "Igoing to pwn all you l0z3rs" and "I'm going to be a meangriefer because by definition imperials are evil".

Yeah, they are high quality. =)
But the BE isnt why I was saying it was rare.
I had heard 4 slotted stuff was hard to get anymore? Maybe I'm mistaken though.
I need to find a buncha skilltapes... ^_^
Yes, 4 socketed items are harder to make now. Ithink that there is approximately a 10% chance for a master tailor to make a 4 socketed item. However, assuming you have the time to really set about doing it, it is not exceptionally expensive to get a crate or two of BE tissue and get the clothing. It might cost you a few tens to hundreds of k depending on the server. (As for "should bioengineers/tailors charge that much/little", that is another discussion entirely.)
For a carbineer who is using krayt carbines, getting a good set of 4 socketed BE clothing is non-trivial, but not that hard or expensive.
