Yes. Thank you for fixing the vehicle customization. I haven't done it since the vehicles went live, cause it was too much trouble (and expensive) to keep my ride looking good.
A small but goo addition.
Thanks

The shadow text works great for me and makes the text in game clear and easier to read. Before is was difficult to see the text above peoples heads and shop signs. It is now clear thanks. Not sure if having it in the chat boxes is a good idea or not, I didn't have any issues there.
Everyone's monitor and video card/settings is different so what looks great on one computer can cause eye strain on another. Please don't get rid of the shadow text, it is very helpful for those that need it. Put a toggle in the options for it.
Does the email 4000 character thing an increase or a decrease? The email size before was too small. I hope this wasn't a decrease. The email server is slow though and can take 10-20 sec to load a message. So I can see it being a decrease, however this is the wrong way to fix the email lag. Upgrade or optimize that server instead.
Thanks.

Ubese Armor Shirts and Ubese Armor Bandoliers are now classified as clothing. They only accept Clothing Attachments now. Revert your changes to these two items. There's nothing game-breaking about having a couple pieces of armor that don't decay in combat (I can live with decay on death). It's not going to put armorsmiths out of business (Unlike tailors who need some decay) when people buy 1 ubese shirt and never have to replace it. Trust me, I know, we sell plenty of Biceps, bracers, chests, helms, boots, gloves and leggings to keep ourselves busy.
Since we're talking about sockets anyways, when are you going to fix packs? 4 sockets but no way to put attachments in them, it's only been 14 months...

Please restore the font or give an option to restore for same reasons highlighted above by azrel.
they really are a strain on the eyes and off putting.
I was actually straining with the old fontand with thedrop shadows added I findit makes it much easier to read IMHO. So PLEASE do not remove the shadows, but add an option to turn them on or off since different folks seem to have problems reading the fonts either way.
Thank you!

The change to the font used for chat and object to introduce a shadow is causing problems for myself with inducing vision problems which are resulting in migraines. Please either turn it off or provide an option to turn off the shadows. The previous font up until this patch was much more eye friendly.
To summarize the issues with drop shadows in the UI:
Drop shadows on player names = good. (Hard to read magenta-over-beige on Tatooine or magenta-over-purple on Dantooine.)
Drop shadows on vendor names = good. (Hard to read hite-over-grey, especially if light sources are active.)
Drop shadows on text in bazaar = bad. (Difficult to read white-with-black-dropshadow over blue, whereas earlier white-on-blue was very to read.)

What ever happened to the large group of people who unlocked before pub 10, but recieved NO free branches? Last I heard their posts were being deleted and no help was given to them. Seems like poor moderation on the forums to me, but what was the outcome?

I completed Capt Sargillos 20 patrol missions and he said that he "gave" me a lil something.. Which should have been the banner.. I checked my inventory and it wasnt there.. Then saw my inventory was at 100%.. 
I deleted an item from my inventory... still nothing there.. I logged out.. and back in.. still nothing.. I tried talking to the Capt and he says I need to rest. I have sent in a ticket and the CSR said they had no way to reward me the banner.. and when asked if I could have my mission reset.. "We are not allowed to affect FS missions" If we have this "overloaded" inventory now in the game I should have still received the banner.. or I should be allowed to run the missions over to get the item I was after.. Can this be taken care of? Thanks

first off all,
i must say thank you for hearing about the coloring issue.
i am very happy you raised the customization calls 
i know its a minor change only, but for me and i bet alot others its a very welcome one and adds to the fun factor.
negative so far i see the strange change in the chat window. it appears way more shrap and bright, very hard to read on light grounds and also causes trouble for eyes when reading :/
regards

Once again... This should be called a patch, not a publish:
patches fix existing problems
publishes have new content
This seemed to do little of either..
Iguess 10.1 was the combat revamp, GCW revamp, smuggler and squad leader revamps, and hutt casino all in one. They forgot to push it so we don't get to have them at all now.

what I find entertaining is the loading screen that mentioned to save our emails but gave a command to save them that does not work...
Worked for me.../mailsave
You need to look for the initial "saving X messages" AND THEN you need to look for the confirmation "X messages saved to blah/blah" took me like 5 minutes to have my mail saved.
(although I didn't try to retrieve them yet, oops. Is that what you're talking about?)
