I am returning to star wars galaxies. I left just after JTL was released and was pretty far into the tera kasi i think i was a 1-4-4-4
Well i am unable to get on right now because my computer is messing up and i have been searching thru the forums and have some questions on things that i couldnt fully find out about on here (maybe i didnt look hard enough)
When i left TK was a good proffession has the CU ruined it in anyway?
What is this tk armor thing i read about and how do i get it? will it be waiting for me when i log? Is it shown on my character?
What is the character lvl thing about? I read there are character lvls along with the skill trees now.
Do cybernetic implants show on character? and do they help in anyway?
I hope you understand that i havent been able to return to the game yet so while some of these question may seem stupid or have been anwsered it is hard for me to fully grasp things since i dont have access to my account right now.

You have an automatic resist (60% at master i think) so it's kind of like an invisible armour.

Actually, it's give you 48% resist (equivilent to 6000 'Battle armor' points)
TK Inate armor does not decay.
You can get better Battle armor (assuming you have another prof that certifies you to wear Battle armor), but it cost money and it will decay.
TK Inate armor with Centre Of Being ability gives you all the defence you need though.

Welcome back to the game 
1. "When i left TK was a good proffession has the CU ruined it in anyway?"
That's somthing you'll have to decide for yourself. The profession IMO has completely changed in that you can no longer wade into massive crowds and flatten them all withing 30 seconds. You need to employ a whole new set of tactics and fighting methods. You'll find when you get back into the game you'll have to re-learn it practically from scratch. When you get on try and find another TKA and ask him/her to show you the ropes a bit. I know a guy who was so hacked off with the new TKA because he was getting wasted by beasts the same level as him. he was going to respec to somthing else but when I showed him how to use the skills he could take down the beasts while taking very little damage. I'm happy to say he's a reformed man (phew)
2."What is this tk armor thing i read about and how do i get it? will it be waiting for me when i log? Is it shown on my character?"
as a TKA you wear armour. You have an automatic resist (60% at master i think) so it's kind of like an invisible armour. If you do put on any item of armour, even if it's just an armour belt, (correct me if i'm wrong somebody) your innate (invisible) armour does not work. Not needing armour saves us some cash in the long run.
3. "What is the character lvl thing about? I read there are character lvls along with the skill trees now."
In a nutshell as you advance through the combat skill trees (non-combat skills wont count) you're Class level will increase until it caps at 80. when you look at other players, NPCs and Beasties you'll now see a number next to their ham bar which shows you which CL they are (yep all the guesswork's been taken out of combat
). If you tackle an opponent with a CL less than yours you will get less xp for the kill. I think it may be around a 20% loss for each level below yours.. not sure though. The trick is to take on opponents equal to or greater than your CL.
3. "Do cybernetic implants show on character? and do they help in anyway?"
If you make a one-way trip to the cloner on a planet you've not left a clone signature on you stand a good chance of being left with a cybernetic limb or 2. You can't wear armour on that limb but as a TKA that makes no difference. As for affecting you - no i dont think it does (help me out somebody?). There is a quest on the new wookie expansion where you can get one with skill modifiers though.
Well that was a rough answer with no facts and figures for you but I hope it was enough to get started. Don't get too disheartened with the new combat system until you learn it. You'll probably get slapped about at first but you'll get the hang of it. There's a few major bugs which will be ironed out soon hopefully (read the stickies to see what the problems are).
Hope that helped
