What's the earliest month that you wouldn't mind a level cap increase?

With that said, I wouldn't mind it so much IF they set a max credit amount for max level, and always reverted to that cost (regardless of level increase I. the future), and then always scale the lower levels costs back across down to L1. As it is now, it keeps getting more and more expensive credit wise.

This. The current economic structure of the game wouldn't adequately support a cap level increase. The reason has to do with exactly what SOAP outlined above - that is, the exponential cost of leveling as you get near the current cap. And that doesn't include the gear.

Honestly, before they raise the level cap again, the gear and leveling costs need to be either reworked or supplemented in some way. The credit heist made up for the leveling cost from 80-85 (the bump in GW rewards helped as well).

They would need to introduce something along those lines AND another method to obtain gear (a second raid + fleet shop/guild shop was the method for 85).

If they do all of that, I would be fine with a level cap increase. If they don't, it would be akin to moving the finish line AND making the end of the race up hill at a 45 degree angle - and knowing this game the way I do (and it's player base) that would lead to some looking at the new finish line and go "You know, it just isn't worth it."

Bingo. It's not credits, it's the gear. It's Cuffs, Sensors, Detonators, Stun Guns etc. They made it so a lot of the AAT cannot be requested and some can't be farmed. Hololenses can be requested, but not farmed. At that point, the price / drops for Cuffs and Sensors and Guns should have dropped as the new raid gear took precedence. 1,400 for cuffs and such should have a minimum been halved. Prices in Shipments should be restructured to fit the correct amounts. You can get a full piece of Rancor raid gear for 1400, but Cuffs / everything else remains at 1,400? You can get an MK3 projector which requires 20 salvage for 300, but Cuffs are 50 salvage, 1,400 and almost an impossible farm? Yesterday I did about 500 energy and got a whopping total of 6.

TL;DR Version: There needs to be some serious price adjustments in Shipments and they need to be lowered to reasonable levels.

We should also have Jedi Luke by then

They teased ST Luke last week. ;)

The gear bottleneck is a serious issue IMO. I really think they need to address that before raising the max level to 90 or whatever.

This will be unpopular, but I don't want the level cap to change for awhile. My reason for this is completely selfish; I want a chance to catch up. I took a two month break and now that I'm playing regularly again, I'm gaining ground but still far behind others in my shard. I'll always be at a disadvantage, especially since I'm also f2p, but if I could have 2-3 months to gain the 13 more levels I need to get to 85, that could be huge.

This please.

Lvl 90 means g12 and that's just scary.

Also lvl cap =/= new content. Please give us more playable content before this happens.

Now is fine for me. I have everyone I care about at level 85 and am racking up credits. Maybe when they add ship gear it'd make sense so you have to get ship level to 85+ first.

Fine. We'll wait for you. BUT NO ONE ELSE!! ;)

Tbh they could raise the level cap to 90 but not introduce any new gear (essentially keeping G11 the max gear level) whilst adding a new way to aqcuire gear.

But that's just wishful thinking...
