    So here is my idea about the green speech bubble. This needs to be confirmed by people who have had hands on experience.

    Could the green text bubble simply mean that the person has not chosen one of the three responses yet? When they choose that is when the random number pops up.

    Could the little green speech icon indicate that someone is using a mic, or just holding the push-to-talk key, or something?

    Awesome dissection as always. Although, the Sith Warrior's facial markings seems to be just the burn options we may or may not have at character creation screen.

    I am talking about these: http://swtor.com/news/news-article/20100115_001-0

    I find it interesting that there is debate about whether Sith and Jedi classes will share one type of ship. From the announcement I always assumed that would be the case. The official post on the TOR site says:

    "Smuggler ships, Trooper ships, Imperial Agent ships, Bounty Hunter ships, Jedi ships and Sith ships."

    While this does not explicitly state that Jedi and Sith classes share one type of ship, it does seem to pretty strongly indicate it. Perhaps that is just one downside they are building into the game since Jedi and Sith could be so prevalent, to encourage people to try other classes.

    Indeed, it has been my assumption from the beginning as well, since it's fairly straightforward. I didn't know, nor did I expect there to be a debate on the matter.

    Acording to what I remember from movie and some quote from Wookieepedia: "Han Solo was frozen in carbonite on Darth Vader's orders to test whether a Human could survive being encased in carbonite before his plan to freeze Luke Skywalker." So if they try this 3700 years before, it probably mean:
    first - that this knowledge was forgotten and Vader must test this to confirm,
    second - in old republic era they kill people when frozen them in corbonite (so in Empire Strikes Back this technology enchanced). Its confuse me when I saw this in video :)

    Originally the text I was going to add in the image was going to be "Where Vader got his idea."

    Not sure if it's been covered before or not but a friend from the official forums wanted me to point out that the lights on the corners of the smuggler portable sheild can be seen changing colors (green to yellow to red). This could be an indication of damage done to the sheild and thus hit points on the shield left or time left before expiration.

    Nice work as always.

    By the looks of things only the person who wins the conversation dice roll gets any xp. Surely this encourages single play as if I group with another person (on average) I will get half the xp. If I group with 2 people a third and a full squad of 8 people I'm get 12%. And thats if I win an average of the rolls, I could walk out with no XP?

    That seems a strange choice where it actively discourages grouping as it then requires the player to go out and make up the lost xp by grinding.

    I am pretty sure the green speech bubble next to the group member's portrait is just showing that they are a group member involved in the conversation.. and not you.

    As it is possible for a group member to not be involved in the conversation.
