They change depending on whether I’m in gameplay vs a cut scene. It’s almost like the assets change to fit whatever style a particular class or gender might use. My troopers, for example: when a leg armor piece is dragged into the Outfitter window, the asset changes to look like plating, and when I am on a quest (or just running around), it remains that shape and the color I set. However, on a cut scene the leg piece will revert back to its original style and color. As a result, my companions look great during gameplay, but ridiculously mismatched during cut scenes. And this is across all my companions, not just trooper. My character is fine, it’s just the companions.

Thoughts?

How do I construct a lightsaber blade so that the “core” is visible within the “glow”? I have deconstructed many examples, and the most popular (altho not the only) method seems to kit bash the Long Escrima Stick as the white “core” and then a Straight Tail as the colored glow/aura. In my attempts the colorized glow is always opaque, and hides the core. For those who have successfully created a lightsaber, Is there a specific material you use for each color (metal, gem, fire, etc)? Is there a specific setting in the color (glow, metallic, etc.) that helps?

Been wanting to play a “good” bounty hunter. I know you can make a light side aligned Bounty Hunter, but they still go thru an Imperial-centric storyline; I’d rather be actually working for the Republic. Smuggler seemed the best choice. Anyone played a Mercenary or Power Tech subclass with Smuggler? Was it fun for you? Any tips or suggestions on what to build?

What if I want to keep an item slot empty in the outfitter, even if there is an item in that same slot in the Gear window? Specifically, my smuggler is wearing some nice gloves for Gear, but I’d really like him to look like he’s not wearing any in the Outfitter.
