At least spend some 3k for a crate of PUPs man, that's the only valuable consumable after the swoop for a 14pt Master Artisan (and swoops are also going down in this day and age of fixing AV-21s and BARC speeders in the garages after they're disabled).
Trust me, the money you'd spend on an ADK is much much MUCH more than the money you'd ever spend to all the PUPs you'd EVER buy in a year.

Garages no longer work, only repair kits

I assume you meant that as a joke, considering that I just had to use a garage today to fix my AV-21 that got disabled while driving it unwittingly into the middle of a Sith attack in the Aurilian village. 
Man, I was holding my breath on the way to the garage praying that it would actually repair, but it did... and it cost over 10k credits to repair! It would be cheaper to go through crates of disposable swoops I think.

It would be cheaper to go through crates of disposable swoops I think.As for PUP's, yeah I agree that it would be a lot cheaper to have to constantly replace PUPs than to ADK one (if such a thing were possible), but it would be nice not to have to worry about running out of a PUP in the middle of a heated battle. I've had PUPs break in battles and not notice the system message that it has expired, and before I know it I am in trouble.

Well it wasn't a joke. Read the patch notes and you'll find out that he speaks the truth!

Its not life yet, but with Publish 23 you can't repair disabled vehicles in garages anymore.
The BARC repair kit will become a "Vehicle repair kit" that can repair any vehicle. But I guess using a new Swoop is cheaper than using a repair kit on it.

Oh, I thought he was saying that as of right now, you can't repair AV-21's in garages anymore. I wasn't aware of the upcoming change.

How can we trust someone whose wrong?
I've spent an infinite amount more on PUPs than I spent on my ADK.
But if you've got an ADK'd weapon, there's no harm in putting powerups on it as needed. Just buy a couple of crates when you see some nice ones and stick em in your backpack.
Just don't forget to pull a few out and always have a couple in your inventory, in case you get jumped.

I would ADK the weapon to prevent the decay from powerups, not that the powerup runs out. Every shot with a PUP applied has a chance to decrease your condition of the gun.
But a crate of PUPs lasts for 5000 shots, that really long enough
Once you get a better gun you can always delete your old one and get the ADK back, or if its a good weapon too, then you can sell it/trade it for a empty ADK+money.

2) More animations for dancers (Musicians get nothing)
3) More animations for combat
4) FRS
5) Removing the FRS and fixing it's bugs, especially the Bothan Jedi bug
6) The Bothan Jedi clones storming SOE Head Quarters and freeing their hampster bothers that keep the servers running.

As everything in this game, that is based on the Server in wich you buy the kit
