Don't tell me that the army I saw was a bunch of HK-47 copies.
Anyway, look what I found at that site.
"What reason will there be for Combat Level 1 characters to get the expansion?
With this expansion we are offering a variety of content and adventures that will interest players of all different professions. For crafters there will be new crafting schematics, as well as new resources available that can only be found on the planet of Mustafar. Dancers, entertainers, and musicians will certainly be interested in the new dance, dance props, and song that you can get there. And anyone with a ground vehicle will benefit from the three additional vehicle slots available in the datapad as a bonus with purchase of the expansion. The broad range of new features, creatures and resources included in this expansion along with the pre-order rewards, the purchase rewards, and some other currently unannounced content all add up to a powerful new episode for our game. We think you will find that there are lots of reasons non-combatants will be interested in this new expansion."
Although you guys knew that already.

Heck I dont care what the heck the new schems are as long as we get something... I would REALLY like to builld some HK module, but not neccessary. Even another utility droid to rivle the R3 would be nice. I hope we get to build part of that army though 
thanks NGE for nerfing loot!

Personally, I don't even think HK-47 should be in the game. He's 4,000 years old. I'm not saying things can't last 4,000 years, but really? Anyway, when life give you lemons.........

The broad range of new features, creatures and resources...
1) Entertainers get "A" new dance, some props that they can live without (I've seen most not use any so far), and "A" song.
2) New crafting Schematics which are gotten how? Most likely by high level combatants.
3) 3 additional vehicle slots. Any more creature slots? A non-CH can only hold two creatures. And if you got RotW DD, you got the Varactyl and possible the Bolotaur/Kash Bantha. So you wouldn't have the datapad slots to hold another pet.
4) New resources. This expansion is billed as a "high level combat" expansion, so I'm sure the mobs on Musta will be high level too. I don't see alot of CL1 artisans going out and surveying the landscape for ore.
5) New droids are introduced, but DE's get no love from it. It'd at least be nice to be able to loot components off the HK clones that would allow us to make better combat droids. Maybe a combat unit that allowed for up to CL50 droids or something.

Hello! I used to be a DE till I got frusterated with a mineing bug that made me earase my character on bria, but from time to time I come in and read the posts on the thread still. I started up a new character on a different server as a combattant mostly because the current game dosnt do much to support a pure crafter in the field, and its rediculously hard for a new player to start a bisuness without merchent skills. So you cant defend yourself out in the field while trying to get resources or traveling, and there are un countable bugs that the devs ignore in favor of combat oriented characters. But the issue here is why you would get this expansion if you were a crafter. Or a DE or in my case now, a combatant. and I say I probably wont get it because.....Looking at the new expansion I see only ONE, yes ONE reason so far that has ben announced that makes me a little interested in it and thats a new house. A realy cool house, but thats about it.And its not enough to make me realy want it at this point. I think the 8 passenger skiff just isnt enough to make me pay for it early. Its I belive 29.99 wich is prety expensive for something that you dont get a hard copy of, a manual, a nice box, or anything ells with it. On the plus side though you wont have to drive to the store to get it and with the price of gass, thats I suppose a bonus considering I live way out in the country. We get the planet Mustafar. Yay. Personaly, its not the planet I wanted to see them make, but ok nice. A new planet. Mabey ill get it since Mustafar would be interesting vewed from space. That would be cool I geuss. A new planet with NO space sector. Whaaat? Seeing as space is the only combat a crafter gets realy these days, thats not good. And its not good for me as a combattant because space is my big getaway from ground combat. A new planet geared toward high end players wich means new plaers comeing in wont be verry well equiped when they get there, and crafters probably dont stand a chance outside the star ports. Yea itll be kashyyyk all over again for whatever persentage of crafters there are in game.So sofar we got Star ports with no space secotor a planet thats going to be too tough for new players or non combatants, a house (so far the only thing iv sean that was worth anything, but I bet its not craftable by architects) and a skiff you get if you buy this joke of an expansion early..... OH how could I forget! The lava glow stick! YAY! My toons no jedi But wow just what I always wanted a lightsaber that glows like.... lava? I am thinking of going up the FS tree to unlock so I can start up a crafter... thats about as much force as I want realy. Why the hell would I want that even if I was a jedi especialy since every other glow bat is going to have one. New profession...well once again there isnt one. ok fine. I suppose we can live with that. New race? nope. So so far from what SOE has released on this expansion, the one thing iv sean that is realy cool is....a new house. A new house that cant be made by crafters. The rest of it is just a joke. Come to think of it, I wouldnt have even gotten the last expansion if it hadnt ben that it came with JTL and it was cheeper than buying the hard copy of JTL in my area since I was a new player with just the basic game at the time. Im probably going to wate for others to go to mustafar and let me know if its any good. And then if my wife lets me spend 30 bucks for it, I MIGHT get it later. But most likely, Ill probably skip this one. and thats the opinion of a combatant. I cant emagine what crafters think of it. oh wate.... you get schematics.....ones that combatants can get to bring to you. Yea thats motivation to get the darn expansion for you guys.Message Edited by R5G8 on 10-05-2005 12:17 PM
1. I'd like to get the YT-2400. It's included with this expansion, but it probably takes an "uber" combat dude to get it.
2. The house sounds cool, but once again, probably need to buy it from some "uber" combat dude.
Only two reasons why I'd go to Mustafar: 1) just to say I've been and 2) to tag along behind a bunch of "uber" glowsticks carrying dudes and pick up droid junk. But, most likely there will be no droid loot to pick up.
