Back in 2003 I bought SWG when it first came out. The current game I recently came back too is nothing at all like it was back then. I have some questions that I really need help with.

First off, I'm planning on making playing as Bothan Master Ranger/ Master Rifleman.Here's the problems I'm having.

1. How do I cancel combat. I accidentally began combat with a marksman trainer and I could not stop trying to fight him. It is clearly evident that /peace no longer works. In order to train I needed to fight a mob to end combat and then come back to train.

Is there any way to stop your character from fighting a mob?

2. What weapon CAN I use after the CDEF Rifle. I already have Rifle III in the marksman tree but I can't use anything! Every other rifle on the AH that is any improvement over my CDEF requires Combat Level 30-50.

Are there any better rifles to use at Combat Lvl 5?

3. Is there any way to change your stats? When I played you could mitigate your stats to your will.

Is there any way to do this now?

4. Is health the only HAM bar that can be attacked? Back in 2003 Pistols attacked Health, Carbines attacked Action and Rifles attacked Mind.

Has that all gone away?


I'd really appreciate anyone's help on these issues.

1.Is there any way to stop your character from fighting a mob?

As I know u may ask someone player duel you then endduel.

2. Are there any better rifles to use at Combat Lvl 5?

Thinks lv14 is the next level. Ucan use your CDEF longer (I dunno actually, Im not fighter)

3. Is there any way to change your stats? When I played you could mitigate your stats to your will.

I dunno, u may ask some ImageDesigner for help?

4. Is health the only HAM bar that can be attacked? Back in 2003 Pistols attacked Health, Carbines attacked Action and Rifles attacked Mind.

Im sure its no more.All attack target on health only after Combat Upgrade.

First off, I'm planning on making playing as Bothan Master Ranger/ Master Rifleman.Here's the problems I'm having.Awesome. Another Bothan. Another Ranger. Excellent choice on both parts. Though I find MBH works better with Master Ranger for me. If that doesnt' work, get into combat with another mob you can beat. As soon as you kill that target, you should exit combat automatically.

1. How do I cancel combat. I accidentally began combat with a marksman trainer and I could not stop trying to fight him. It is clearly evident that /peace no longer works. In order to train I needed to fight a mob to end combat and then come back to train. All you need to do is hit the escape key a couple of times.

Is there any way to stop your character from fighting a mob? Stop attacking (using the escape key) and move away from them.

2. What weapon CAN I use after the CDEF Rifle. I already have Rifle III in the marksman tree but I can't use anything! Every other rifle on the AH that is any improvement over my CDEF requires Combat Level 30-50. DL20a's have a cert at level 6, and I think there's a couple others that are certed around level 15.

Are there any better rifles to use at Combat Lvl 5? Nope. but gain 1 more level and you can use the DL20-a. They can go close to 100 damage, which is pretty good.

3. Is there any way to change your stats? When I played you could mitigate your stats to your will.
Is there any way to do this now? nope. all players have the same stats if they are the same race and skill level. As you gain combat levels, your health will automatically go up. Cetain species like Bothans cap at 2900 health whereas other cap higher, but get higher mind and action regeneration rates.


4. Is health the only HAM bar that can be attacked? Back in 2003 Pistols attacked Health, Carbines attacked Action and Rifles attacked Mind.

Has that all gone away? Yep. the only thing action and mind are affected by now is specials. Use too many abilities in too short a time and you'll run out. health is only taken away by damage, and will not be affected by using abilities.


I'd really appreciate anyone's help on these issues.

To stop fighting something push the Escape key.

Thanks for all the help. This is a much different game than it was in 2003. I guess I'll just have to approach it like a completely new game. Thanks again for the help.
