The new Kyrotech pieces were supposed to reduce the amount of other bottleneck gear - and that wasn't true with the Padme release. Shaak TI doesn't seem much better either. But it is also a way to have a steady crystal drain on players to eliminate crystal hoards.

Our goal with introducing these new pieces is to diversify the number of high value gear pieces and reduce the overall need of prior high value gear/salvage, such as Carbantis, Stun Guns, etc. Darth Revan is the first character to use these new pieces, and this process will be rolled out over a period of time as we release new characters.
Yeah than they aren't flat out lying but are also very misleading. We previously needed these things and they were avaliable all over the game, now they are replaced by something that can be only crystal bought or farmed. And the amounts needed is similar. So it doesn't help even one smidge. At best it's the same, on most cases it's far worse.
