It could also be that these are the 2 ships which are currently finished, so they are just showing them off.

Not likely. Bioware wouldn't mix and match stuff and then show it. They've been pretty straight forward when displaying such big features.

Their specific statement was, paraphrasing, "we don't release info until it is completed."

These may only be the ships we start out with, or they may be the only ships we can get right off. However, we can't know either way until BioWare comes out and confirms it, flatly. It could be the others are simply not done yet, or further expansions will include different ships that can be purchased, or obtained through completing objectives, etc. In any case, I do remember reading somewhere that ships won't be entirely faction specific, but likely, class specific.

I know BW does not release info until it's finished, but that's just the point now isn't it. If it's "completed" then that means all Jedi and all Sith will habe the same ships and companions. And that's just the thing I don't believe just yet :)

Check out this thread on the DH forums about this very same discussion. I also believe it is odd from the way the companions are presented.

Is the green speech bubble with the "..." possibly whose quest (class quest?) it is? Maybe any final action is going to be that person performing the task eg shooting the guy in the head? Hmmm...

Good work all round :-)

Oh, the BH armour could SO have a colour 'dye' system like Mass Effect 2 to make people look a bit different (x2 colour tints, pattern tint, edges etc).

The ME2 comparison is exactly what came to me as well

Looks to me like the third gear set (the one with the racing stripe) is the same model as used in previous vids - specifically the combat video - but with a different colour set. The one in the combat video was also 'striped' but with dark green and red, so I'm thinking that the pattern is fixed but the colours are changeable.

Seems like it's going to be very much like ME2, probably a slider system going through the colour options

It also seems that we've been seeing characters wearing accessories too: the pic attached to the above post shows bare arms while the combat video ( http://darthhater.com/uploads/blog_images/6405/BH_Dual_Wield_sm.jpg ) has some kind of ammo pack

IMO, different 'color' is being considered 'different gear', in terms of the 'hundreds/thousands' of different armor.

So when the Devs say there are hundreds of different armor sets, it could mean something like there are only:

* - 10 Armor sets
* - 10 pattern designs
* - 20 color combination

Basically, a handful of armor sets, with numerous pattern and color combination, rather than 500 structurally different Armor combination.

I agree that's how they are coming to higher number, including different factors besides just design; I also believe that they will legitimately come up with hundreds of unique armor sets for each class (perhaps some sharable between classes), while still having these other factors.

Individuality and armor are such a huge driving force for people to play MMO's, it would seem crazy not to include as much as they can in the game.

Yay carbanite! Great information guys, enjoyed eyeballing it all.
that sith holocron looks huge.

ARGHH I LOVE THIS!!!!

thanks darthhaters! Could not ask for more, you are superb.

Impressive dissection as always; well done Darth hater.

Might want to spell check the captions on picture #4 "beofre" you post them.

Glad I could help. From one 954'er to another.
