Benefits of FS skills... The bonuses from speed are the most obvious with combat, but for the most part I haven't noticed any real benefit from the FS combat abilities.... The real power has been with crafting... BTW.... I have 2 Jedi and a 3rd almost done...
1) Extra character... Get's you 10 new loits, banks, inventory, and doesn't require you to buy another JTL copy... Thus even more storage if you are a huge collector and/or crafter...
2) FS crafting bonuses... Before getting FS skills, I used cities, food and just about every possible bonus I could think of and I would still take 10-15 tries to make one great schematic. I would get a critical failure on experimentation every other schematic... With FS craftign bonuses, the worst I ever see is great success! I have not had a single critical sicne I mastered FS crafting...
3) FS repair bonuses... Now I've only repaired about 20 items, since having the repair tree. Howeve,r I haven't destroyed an item yet during repair. The worst I do is drop the condition, even then the worst I've dropped an item condition is by 300 on an item with ~900 max condition... This is worlds better than what my WS has ever dreamed on on jsut repairing weapons with a repair suit. Not my craftign Jedi is also wearign the repair suit... Just in case...
4) Surveying... In order to get to the max range on a survey device you need the FS survey points. Just having the survey tree in artisan and +25 in survey tapes, you still don't get that last extra range... With the FS extra bonuses, you get that extra range... Which speeds up survey by a huge amount... Add that with the recent change of being able to survey from a vehicle... *smile* Well, all I can say is just sweet!
5) Vehicle control... Not really a biggie, but with this whoel tree, you cna turn an AV-21 in the same radius as an swoop... Which is pretty cool!
My 3rd Jedi will be testing the entertainer and doctor bonuses... So I can't comment on them... My combat Jedi has luck but I don't notice any difference, seems useless to me... Seriously thinking of dropping it for vehicle control or repair tree...
