There's a reason it was so easy.

Sadly this doesn't actually affect the newbie zones for people, even ones who have been through this story part. Jolune can go back to Tython and the dodecahedron will be happily floating again.

This is essentially echoing the stuff in the Mr Plinket reviews, but would it have been too much to ask for the unstable looking design of the lightsaber in Force Awakens to be a unique thing, and be a visual representation of its user rather than 'saber configuration number 3781 that has been around for millennia in both Jedi and Sith Orders as detailed in wookipedia article https://www.starwarsfans/fuckyou.bs'

The galaxy has had millennia of stagnant technology. Everything has been invented, reinvented, lost, developed independently, discovered in a temple in the middle of nowhere, lost again, accidentially unleashed upon an unsuspecting galaxy...

Speaking of commando big guns, they get the BEST skins for them here.
E: actually linking those should wait a couple of updates to establish the planet more.

Now that they've vastly sped up leveling, it's pretty easy to go through other classes to see their class quests. Still takes some time, but you're no longer stuck also repeating every planet questline and side missions and such.

The ones I've played are Smuggler and Trooper, and they're the folks still around so I donno if they'll make appearances.

E: oh, and now that we know the "pretending to be a pirate" shtick of this planet, here's the Trooper's weapon you get through quests:

Sadly it still fires the chaingun blaster shots. It'd be too much :effort:

to remap all the attacks to cannonballs.

These flashpoints aren't. If you wanna leave Rishi Part 1, you need to fight through Torch's compound.

Eh. He saw his chance, he made his move, and he quite possibly might have gotten away with it if he hadn't immediately positioned himself as the top priority threat to both the Empire and the Republic.

He might have gotten away with it if he hadn't immediately positioned himself next to exposed shafts with no railings.

Main problem with these choices is the light side and dark side results. Is it dark side to target the ships of your main enemy just because you have a cease fire with them? Though at the time of that choice the two sides are still fully at war.

Yes. It's sacrificing progress/trust in the important goal in order to gain power and that's totally darkside. The factions may still be at war for that AA gun choice, but you're already part of an uneasy alliance with Lana and Theron.

Act to reinforce the alliance -- benevolent, light side
Act to undermine the alliance (whether you want it to break or not) -- selfish, dark side

Just ask "what would Jolune do".

Yeah. You get the option of being a bit more defensive to Marr's comment about the Republic, but mainly this is a joint mission and he has respect for you if not all of his allies.

I am amazed they didn't go full-Thrawn and make General Rakton a Chiss.

Also, Trooper Act 3 is such crap. The war's in full swing! Everyone's been called to arms! And the galaxy's greatest spec ops team is farting around doing trivial bullshit. But everyone has to visit the same planets in the same order, so off you go to Belsavis to understudy a prison guard.

"We've got forces everywhere dealing with their own issues, go shake em loose so we can all strike at one point" is a pretty sound tactical strategy. But they don't sell it too well.
