what about ST armor, it cost twice as much now... it's not like people could afford it before, and now a suit cost what? 35k faction? People will be buying plenty when the curb comes out...
Depends on what planet you're on. If you can find a planet where the Imperials are getting their teeth kicked in, you can pick that ST armor up for 1/2 - 1/3 of that price.

I guess at the moment the patch hasn't affected me on Chimaera but my poor young medic on Farstar is having it tough, he's a civilian medic who almost never leaves the med centre and now he can heal almost no one who walks through the door until people get used to activating "On Leave" before they go to get their wounds healed.

From what I understand on the Doc forum you can still be buffed as a combatant but not healed, although obviously if you use a town that doesn't see eye to eye with your own political views you'll have trouble sitting quietly in line

I like the publish so far. The FD nerf isn't that big of a deal. FD'ing in PVP is an open invitation to have a suit of armor ruined.
I logged on the smuggler, he was broke as usual, so I tip him some credits from my alt to buy a base to replace the one that got redeeded. Purchased a SF Tactical HQ. Dropped all three bases and checked the GCW status on Naboo. Imps 4, Rebs 27. Sounds like a really bad football game.Naboo was under Rebel control. I run around on my alt and do the harvie run thing. The smuggler hangs out at our new Tactical HQ. A couple hours later, I check the score. Imps 16, Rebs 25. By the time I logged the GCW score was Imps 30, Rebs 22. Naboo was under Imperial control again.
One thing that didn't really seem right. Imperials standing around with AT-ST's out while there are Spec Force Rebels waiting for PvP in Theed.
Now, if we could get Wes to spill the beans on what Tyrant meant yesterday, life would be good.

That's my biggest problem with this. I wish there was a vis function that caused PvEers to get a TEF for PvP after they killed so many opposing faction NPCs in plain view.

I'm sure, like every other Smuggler related announcement in the past, it will be dropped on us at 5pm CST, as they run out the door for the weekend. Leaving them no obligation to respond to questions until Monday...

I'm not that optimistic... I'm thinking next week sometime in the middle of some other announcements so they'll be really busy and won't be able to take the time to talk to us.

Yeah, it's a little annoying seeing ppl with AT-ST's parked up outside of Starports.
I'd like to see Special Forces(PvP enabled) players able to attack factional 'pets' regardless of their 'owners' current status. This would then bring the 'owner' into play - some sort of TEF or outright flagging - hopefully stopping the already emerging AFK farming of NPC's and quelling the Imp players 'showing off' their ScoutWalkers in places they really shouldn't be.
Other than that, the publish seems good, FD works fine in PvE . . Feigned after 7 NS Sentinels aggro'ed me and they all just walked off after mocking me a bit . .
Not enjoying the way us Smugglers are now getting played off against each other for FP prices but ho-humm.
Long way to go for Smuggler prof. yet but promising signs.

that is an awesome idea and would be cool if it worked, i mean they got the jedi visibility thing done correctly........oh wait.........nevermind.
Maybe even some system where if 20 special forces players clicked on you and said report, then you would have so much time to leave or else you would be vulnerable to attack from the PvP. it is tough not being able to help your rebel NPC friends.

Right now its very odd to watch folks slaughtering factioned NPCs and just chit chat with each other.

Do the factional NPCs killed in town give FPs now?
If it become a problem, they can also do like they did in the past, reduce or even remove completly the FPs pay out of factionned NPCs killed in town.
