Better yet, hitting rocket boost counts as "mounting," and it's instant (without the expensive perk), and unlike every other mount, it works indoors. My usual habit is tap rocket boost and then tap my recovery thing which both interrupts rocket boost and tops me off if I took any damage, and then I'm off and running. Pretty much zero down time using this strategy with a tank companion. This is one of the big reasons rocket boost is the best thing anybody can buy with their Hutt Bux.

Also you guys are lucky I'm not in the goon guild cause I dominate the dress-up game:

Nice saber you got there... I have one of those.

Nonentity, I'm beginning to get a bit disappointed. It's been like a year and a half since I requested my "cut open taun-taun and get inside" regen item.

Also, I've seen that POT5 is dying a bit more every day so I feel it's time for you to take your friends and family and bring them over to us.

Damnit what server are you on?
What faction?
I think I will start my level 60 someplace where there are goons.

But seriously, we're on JC, imp side and it would be cool to have you. Just never ever tell anyone your character name or people will probably constantly ask you for stuff in whispers

Not me, other people

I don't read OPs.

On a completely unrelated note, there are a very few things I think were cool about the prequels and one of those cool things was Count Dooku's lightsaber with a curved hilt. Are there any like that in SWTOR I could get for my Sith Warrior? All my lightsabers are so boring looking.

I made the Vengeance's Unsealed Lightsaber as a curved hilt...

I like that they're finally giving us a color crystal in a nice classic light blue that can be added to collections and doesn't require level 50. "Farmhand Blue." Clever!

Well, I thought it was an appropriate name, given that I designed that color based on the first appearances of Luke's Graflex saber.

Nice. Do you do armor sets in addition to mounts/color crystals?

I only do mounts and mount VFX, weapon and weapon VFX, color crystals, some rest and recharges, log mounts... Some concept art. Some environment art, like most of the monitors in game and holotrees. Some cinematic VFX.

No in game armor stuff.

Do we have an authoritative source for which crystal most closely matches Ben's pre-remastered lightsaber?

hm.

I'll see what I can whip up, but they are SO similar, I feel we'd get a backlash of "WHY SO MANY BLUE CRYSTALS YOU SUCK BIOFAIL THIS IS A SLAP IN THE FACE"

But I will look into it.

I've been buying most of the new speeders as they come out. Partly that's because my stronghold is set up as a "swoop garage" with dozens of vehicles either on display or scattered around looking like they're being worked on in the back. And partly it's just because they're cool. I really liked the Meirm Moth because it looked disassembled.

You were talking about color crystals earlier and how an authentic "Obi-Wan blue" might be too close to the "Farmhand" look. Well, the conversation reminded me of a post I saw on the forums a while back asking for a green that was closer to Luke's Return of the Jedi green, so not as pale as the "mint" one but not as yellow-tinged as the standard green ones. In general I like the idea of having collectible crystal options that resemble the more classic colors, so any slightly tweaked green, red, blue and yellow I think would go over well. If you're looking for ways to mix them up, it generally looks really cool when the core is not pure white but a much paler version of the main color... like the pink-red, which actually looked a lot like Vader's saber in some scenes.

Just throwin' some ideas at the wall so to speak.

I can neither confirm nor deny that a certain other color might already be made.

For anybody that didn't notice, the other Blademaster lightsabers are finally available on the Cartel Market. Similar in style to the "attenuated" ones but with slightly thicker blades... still thinner than average I think, more original trilogy style than Rebels style. 500 hutt bux apiece, 400 to unlock. I've been waiting for these! They look great!

This is the kind of slightly-mismatched look I like for this character. I like the idea that every lightsaber is a unique creation by its wielder, so no two are exactly the same. Here I have the standard one with an original purple crystal and the shoto with derelict purple.

Thanks nonentity! Enjoy my money!

My personal favorite ones I have made lately, glad you're enjoying them. I want to build some real world physical versions of those soon.

Also, new stuff a'comin. Can't wait to show you guys.

Using the mint crystal in it makes it look like Luke's saber from ROTJ as a protip.

From what I saw of the preview images it looks like you made the double bladed version is slightly shorter than normal. If so, you're the absolute best because most of the double bladed sabers are really long and look extremely weird to me when they're sheathed.

I try.

Also the kotor inspired vibroblades retract when sheathed.

Also also, desert green crystal is the return of the Jedi Luke green

Also also also, some other neat stuff in there, can't remember it all cause development is all a blur by now.

At any point do you wish you could go back to an elementary school you, maybe when you're having a particularly bad day, and say hey buddy cheer up, when you grow up you're going to get to draw light-sabers, for a living.

Yeah, more often than I'd care to admit, I'd be hoping me from the future could come back to me in the now and do the same thing.

When I was six, I saw Star Wars for the first time at school during a rainy day with no recess. I told my mom on the way home, "that's what I want to do."

She said, "what, fly spaceships?" I said, "no, build the models and do the effects."

I got pretty close, I guess.

I still would like the periodic reassurance of time-traveling future me.

Nonentity has graciously offered to donate a warbot and an unstable dual saber from the new packs for a prize giveaway.

Unless I come up with something different over the weekend, I'm leaning towards a straight lottery, with the entry cost being one flagship encryption. I'll hash out the details later, but maybe this will give people more of an incentive to hit their conquest goal this week.

And remember folks, no wagering.

Unless you count gamblepacks.

In which case, wager away, I have kids to feed.
