Twice in an hour, hope this is not going to be habitual.

Hotdog, can't log back in...nice seeing you on test.

Ditto Spin.

On both seeing you AND crashing- which is why I suddenly "logged out" during our convo.

I got back in after about 10 minutes but you were gone-

So I went out looking for something to fire my LBC through but all I could find were level 14 characters or under.

I didn't want to duel really because my tool bar was a wreck- As we discussed- so then I went to Corellia where I KNEW I could sign up with the Rebellion and hopefully find some hardcore STs to bat around with some proton grenades.

I joined but couldn't find an ST on Corellia to save my life!

Tried to go to Dant- which I KNOW isn't a testing area- and I crashed again.

SO I called it.

Here are some interesting finds....

As a MS/MC/Pistoleer 3000/TK 4000 I was Level 80. Don't know if that is the cap.

I had the 3000 HP.

I LOVE not having to be buff to go encounter stuff. Although- like I said I only fought level 14 characters.

Took on 3 level 14 guys at once- and that was the closest I came to getting incapped (well, not counting the STs that I couldn't attack outside of Bestine- SO I yelled "long live the rebellion" and they handed me my ass. It was THEN that I figured I HAD to join the rebellion in order to fight the next squad of troopers).

Back to those three level 14 dudes- they were jabba's thugs, One was melee, the other two were firing at me from different distances.

I grenaded the closest ranged guy and LBC'd the farthest guy KDing him.

I wasn't wearing armor and noticed that I had some damage mitigated due to "armor" that I can only guess was my TKA armor. The thug was hitting me for 52 points but 10 of them were taken up by my armor (if I remember correctly).

When I went unarmed to deal with the melee punk in my face- I went COB and was untouchable.

I couldn't COB with a gun in my hand.

Commando's Weapons ROCK! I was very successful with flame DoTs (even though I couldn'tSEE the dots my targets were on fire) and KDing happend a lot with the LBC.

I could hold a proton rifle but couldn't fire it.

I also was given a Massassi Ink Rifle. I never had a chance to use it but I noted that you didn't need to be certed for it.

Having the DL44 XT was gravy- but I used the Renegade most of the time last night.

I'm looking forward to doing more testing asap. I can see already that having aversatile toolbarIS going to be important. I also need toget a feel for the cool down process.

Also, I really felt comfortable with my template. I didn't feel weak at all- and I honestly am starting to feel that no matter what template you choose you will be able to compete on a decent level once you master something.
