I recently collected my jabba theme park reward.... seems that jabba likes to give guys leotards that add +5 to mind buffs....
I can't wear a leotard, I think it's unfair that 20-30% of dancers can't use a reward that is meant for their profession

How is it an insult? I don't now if rewards are geared towards specific players or what..but..
If you go to Nym's missions on Lok you get a carbine. Useless to you unless you have the skills to use it...

Kissalicious, you have the distinction of being misinformed im afraid.
Number 1. The new jabba missions give profession specific rewards, so the guy is right. Thats absolutely stupid of the devs, they obviously didnt think about male dancers.
Number 2. The Nyms carbine has no certification, anyone can use it and not get the "Damage with this weapon will be greatly reduced because blah blah blah" It works for everyone, making it in fact, a killer gun to grind marksman with.

I agree. While I don't mind our dances, I despise the fact all the really nice clothes are female-only, and maybe that's just me cause I don't mind the dresses and such, and would like to see a fleshwrap and leotard for guys.
But it is outrageous that this is geared to US, Entertainers, and the male population of the profession can't even wear it.
Ravenmist, if you see this, could you like, mention this in passing to Thunderheart, you know, after he decides to look at us out of the corner of his eye and throw us a big pile of dung?

Blamj,
it is a step in the right direction the theme park when I did it gave junk weapons no one would really want. +5 leotards are nothign to write home about if you can use them. See you favorite tailor about making you some Bio Engeneered clothes that do suit you and youll get a much better outfit that you can wear. The problem is that Sony doesnt want the hate from the craftign classes for giving out loot that is better then they can make, on the other hand the quests should be able to give you somthign nice for your effort. So far they have failed to find a balance and quest items are all rather pointless even if you can use them.

Sultrina,
It's the principle of the thing. We all know the item isn't that fantastic, but the fact that they made it a female-only article of clothing indicates that they simply don't think about the male dancers. The limited clothing choices for male dancers also supports this theory. If we don't try to make them think otherwise, then someday they might add a really nice item for dancers...and it'll be female only.
Regardless, it's just uncool to go through the effort of Jabba's Palace and end up with a nice prize that you cannot wear simply because of your sex.

Yesterday, I did the whole of Jabba's themepark because I wanted the leotard schematic. Instead I got a schematic for featherweight fwg5 pistol. Grrr.......I wanted my leotard.

You should have gotten both. I believe the schematic for the leotard comes from Bib Fortuna, while the schematic for the FWG5 comes from Jabba's protocol droid (it's the last reward for the final quest).
I got both yesterday.

So, if you're a female dancer and you want to weara leotard (something that logicall, and obviously, Jabba wants to encourage) you've got one item that can have those bonuses.
If you're a male dancer you won't be wearing a leotard. Probably some jeans and a shirt and jacket right? You've got three items that can have those bonuses.
So what are you complaining about, exactly? Sell that leotard to someone who needs it and buy a jacket.

And just how easy to acquire do you think +5 skill tapes are? Certainly not easier than it is to get through Jabba's.

Even if it did require a cert.. Anyone would be able to get the cert if they wanted.
On the other hand, I will never be able to wear this new dancer's leotard without rerolling my character as a female. But I don't want to play a female, I want to play a male. So I can't use this ever. So it's no comparison to something needing a certification.
