Threads of Note

[Kaedis]

The purpose of this thread is to serve as a repository for links to threads of note to the theorycrafting community, mostly to serve as reference for future theorycrafting. I don't mean for this to be a source for links to guides and such, we have one of those already. Instead, it should serve as a source for threads that demonstrate certain mechanics and quirks of the system on external forums (for example, MMO-Champion or the official SWTOR forums). I'd like anyone linking a thread here to also include a short summary of the information it contains.

As an example:

This thread, while somewhat hostile, is discussing orange custom items, and whether they properly scale with internal mods or whether they have any internal stats. The OP presented solid evidence that they possessed intrinsic armor separate from the mods. Verdict was that there is a display error in the tooltip for custom items that may require you to equip the item first and/or restart the client to get it to properly update the tooltip. Further, orange items scale precisely as previously predicted.
