You can have them all at the same time but not active at the same time. They live on your ship and are considered Crew. They do your crafting and harvesting while you are out in the world getting levels. Realistically, you are only going to level one (maybe two) using Affection. The rest are just your slaves.

No, Jedi can't do the starting Sith experience but they can do the Trooper one. There are two starting planets per side. Trooper/Smuggler on Ord Mandell, Knight/Councilor on Tython; BH/IA on Hutta, Warrior/Inquisitor on Korriban. When you go to the space station (around level 10), you can either continue to Coruscant (Republic), Dromond Kass (Empire), or you can go to the other starting planet.

As an example, when I leveled up my BH on Hutta to 10 and was directed to Dromond Kass, I went up to the space station and took the shuttle to Korriban instead of Dromond Kass.

Cool stuff. I guess now that I'm planning on playing for a bit, I probably should start finding out something about the game. *laughs*

I didn't look into the crew skills thing at all during my play...on the surface I hate the idea of having the game play for you. I heard someone mention something about crew skills helping out in group instances...and I had no idea what he was referring to. I'll definitely have to read the tutorials and stuff when I start playing again.

We could try to jump on the same server when the game launches if you want.

Do you like mudkips?

I will be doing a RP server cause that's my thing.

I usually don't do RP servers, but I wouldn't mind rolling on one. Definitely not a PvP server, though.

I'm wondering if they will allow free transfers the first few weeks since there's going to be such a rush. People are estimating between 2-3 million pre-orders by the time it's all said and done...and who knows how many will buy it in the first couple days. My guess would be that the first few weeks are going to be more about waiting in queues and cursing when you get disconnected for the 8327934th time.

You are probably right. I hate queues.

I'd rather have queues than a million servers that become ghost towns after the first month.

That being said, queues are alright so long as I don't have to wait in them.
