Yes TH, please fix this profession. It is one of the most costly in skill points.Possibly thiscould be reduced so that you could augment it with other worthwhile skillsand bring it on pare with other professions. If not the skill points then mabye better modifiers. I am quickly approaching the point where I will have to decide whether or not to continue on track with BH. IfBH remains the same I probably won't. As it is, it just doesn't seem to be a well balanced profession asmany of the others are.
The new forum layout just sucks.
Down with the man!
I think the current implementation schedule is fine. Melee and combat modifications will level combat and pvp out fine in conjunction with the mitigation. CH has been a blast since the mods. BE is rawkin!. Pistoler, TK and commando are doing well despite the small problems with the weapons not actually performing all the TYPES of damage they are suppose to. Tailor is ok except the continued cry for more clothing especially for wookiees (no really I didnt say it a tailor did) and also the proper stacking of tapes in clothing sockets....this also applies to armorsmith and attachments in some cases. I have had no in game feedback from weaponsmiths at this time. We do still have a lot of anoying little problems with vehicles but mostly pertaining to player/server sync and changing/crossing world view lines. Some bases still have an issue where they can never be destroyed (jo know what im talking bout lucy)
On a personal note I would like to request perchance bringing back farming (similar to BE but with organics) I think that it would be fun and add an aspect to the game that will promote other people to stay in certain professions and not dump them (IE: Doctors that cant find resources for 1.5 months). This would also allow me to farm melons. I need to get 30 more melons before this friday to fill an order for 100 
Hey, since I'm now an Entertainer Correspondant (like everybody else in your big giant useless broken thread), I'd like to demand some new songs.
Songs are not hard to write. Especially the two bar looped riffs the game is rife with. Give us more.
Getting lots more game lock-ups now in the last week. Had 4 last night. Game just stops. Computer keeps running. I have to End Task the client, then re-start it. I've been sending crash logs every time.
System is Windows 2000 SP4, 1 GB RAM, GeForce4 Ti4200.
Contact me via PM if more information is required.
A. I hate Mind damage. If we have 3 Life bars and they all get hit with the same regularity and only 2 can be healed with any consistancy we have us a BAD GAME MECHANIC ie poor game design. Make it so either only Jedi can do mental damage (sorry but a rifle or a vibroblade shouldnt hurt your mind) or make it that healing stims are like pet stism where they heal all 3 HAM bars. It is incredibly fustrating to die over and over due to mental damage ( that can only be helaed if the Doc/medic whatever takes wounds no less).
B. Game seesm to be crashing almost every day now. This is a recent development and is not just affecting me. No set time/place/situation this occurs in it just happens.
C. Am I the only one who thinks it is forced grinding that we have to constantly drop skills/loose exp we learned to pursue other professions? If i start learning a new skill I dont jsut forget how to play baseball... Why cant we only have 250 hell 200 active poitns and keep we have done. It takes away from the fun of the game to have Eng 4 and 30k Artisan Exp stored and hten you have to drop to Eng1 to master scout and you loose 25k of your exp and the skills. Look at FF11 the job system works nicely.. 1 main job one sub job alll other jobs no matter what you level them to are inactive and you can swap em at any time.
D. The Imperial power boost looks cool we need more Tension in the game.
1) I could do just fine without updates for the space expansion, fix the crap problems that currently crop up, once you have a solid game, then spend resources on expansions. Is that a hard concept?
2) Permanently ban all the idiots that macro shout in towns about "Selling holocrons at -xxxx xxxx" Or give us a way to report them to have them removed. My ignore list is growing, and it spams up the chat box from legitimate requests, conversation.
3) Dissapearing people in groups is a huge issue.
4) Creature population is bad...high concentration around towns, low concentration anywhere else.
Bazar?
That's what those big red terminals are for. You don't have to spam up a local chat box to sell stuff, this crap made trying to communicate with someone in Diablo II highly annoying. I get enough unwanted spam in my mailboxes, I'm supposed to have fun when I play a game, not filter through the BS. If you aren't at your keyboard making the communication, you shouldn't be advertising.

Its my conspiricy theory that the daily game crashes arewere a stelth nerfto stop the AFK macromaniacs!! Once again the Devs attack the problem and not the source of the problem, so Ill ask again
CAN WE PLEASE DISCUSSE THE FAILED JEDI SYSTEM!!
hopefully
The main page says
For many of the most common issues regarding all Station.com games, visit the Station Knowledge Base. This simple to use search tool can help in answering and solving most of your EQ support questions.
Will it help me search for SWG support questions too? Because I don't play EQ, I play SWG.
to continue (man wheres an edit button)
Hopefully with the new Jedi corespondant maybe we will see some discussion on the subject! But we still need an admission from the Devs that it is a FAILED system, just like the combat system that is getting a much needed overhaul.

The one thing I want is to be able to have the Full Princes Leia Slave outfit from Jabbas Palace. Problem is that the bottom skirt can not be crafted by any Tailors
The metal bikini is craftable, but for some reason the skirt isn't. I have seen the skirt on NPCs on Tatooine so I know that it exists in the game. This wouldn't be a difficult change.
I want to see this too. If you look VERY carefully, the Thin Pleated Skirt is actually very close. The belt is about exact. It looks like they pleated the front, and added a wrap to it to make it more modest. *lol*
I'm also still waiting for the New Hope Luke shirt. I cannot find even one shirt the has that diagonal cross over, for Luke or for Jedi's. It's only THE defining article of clothing for Jedi's...why should they have that in the game....
