My first choice of character is based solely on my love of the force lightning power so I will be playing dark side, but I also want to play a light side character aswell. As with KotOR 1&2 I don't feel like I've truely played a game unless I've tried every path available to see what happens. I noticed that the SW:TOR guild recruitment pages are divided into light and dark guilds aswell, so we may need to have two guilds ingame for all our members, but I intend to be in both so I can play either side depending on who else is online at the same time as me. I see a lot of sleepless nights coming after launch, lol.

I always end up playing good guys w/ Bioware games. But I guess it will depend on where most of my friends end up.

Light side definitely.

If it's a "lockable" costume item, then it simply can't be set as a fleet uniform. If I try to do it, a pop up will come up saying that there's a lockable part and it can't be used as a fleet uniform.

So what did you all think?

I thought in general it was good, but a bit rushed. I never like the finale two-parters as much as the rest of the series anyway. But this was OK, with some nice set pieces, good writing and good acting.

Still wondering why they didn't just shoot the Doctor instead of locking him up though. Fair enough, they know he can regenerate, but surely one member of the Alliance must know his regenerations are limited, so why not just zap him a couple of times? :dry:

Dark Side, i always try to be opposite of my normal behavior, it lets me blow off steam i cant in the real world.

Was thinking about this yesterday... I pretty much *always* play a good-guy, I suppose 'cause I like to relate to my 'character'. But I think the badguys do tend to have more fun. On the other hand, it'll kinda suck to play on a side that you know will, eventually, lose. lol Hmmm, one way on the other I'll be a jedi (it's all about the lightsaber!) so I'll wait and see precisely what force powers each side offers.

Well I agree if they're gonna be an unlockable I'm going to be straight onto that...

On the subject of the Diplomatic content, I was originally under the impression it was being included to provide an alternative progression method to the United Federation of Genocidal Maniacs approach that 95% of content currently requires. Now I'm hearing it'll be an entirely separate progression line. If that's true, does anyone know exactly how that's going to work?

I was hoping you'd be able to advance up to Admiral without vaporising quite so many people, and more in the spirit of the Federation we're used to. Considering that the game's set during war-time, I'd expect it take longer to get promoted as a scientist than as a glorious battle-veteran, but still; my main objection to STO from the beginning has been its "We come in peace, shoot to kill" ethos. I thought they were fixing that a bit, but now it sounds more like a side-quest.

So yeah, can anyone share or point me toward more details?

Don't forget the best line ever:

"I hear the water in Arkansas is very hard"

If they are locked, one thing we could do is create a "Diplomatic Corps"-specific version of the Fleet Uniform. That way, those members who have toons in the DC would be able to have a uniform that expresses both the career track and the fleet affiliation.

Light side, 100%...I just can't make myself do mean things....

Which alignment will you be for you main character?

I saw these a few days ago and thought they were very sharp. I'd love to redo these as the fleet uniform, but if they're "locked" in anyway, then they can't be. I thought from what I read was that these were "Off duty" dress option, but I don't know for sure. If these are for the diplomatic corp, I'm gonna be spanmming diplomatic missions to unlock it.

These are really sharp looking and the extra detail they are allowing in these is great. I wonder when they will be available in the game?

They're from a pic that dev posted on the forums some time ago. There is actually a post that I've lost the address for that compiled all of these pictures and they reveal a LOT of what's coming. I'll see if I can find it again and I'll post it on the boards here.

Oh, really?! Mew. :(

Source? I seem to have missed this memo entirely!

Yes, I think this uniform is only useable after a person has met certain in game requirements, like 'x' amount of diplomatic missions, so it would be difficult to make it a fleet uniform.

This is the Diplomatic Corps uniform that is being proposed. I definitely think it would be great if Stonewall Fleet had a version of this for its diplomat members!

Not sure of the provenance of this pic, but loving the new style coming in... Any chance, where it's released, we could consider revising the official Stonewall Uniform to incorporate these new jackets? I like the current one, but it's a little too 'regular' uniform compared to these.
