Well, like it says. Vant Galaide, my bounty hunter mercenary (I created him before you could be any tech class playing the hunter story) and Anstal Tane, my smuggler scoundrel (likewise) are now both at max level, although they're either just finished or just finishing Hoth. The remaining planets, I can breeze through, just doing the class stories and ignoring or playing, as I please, any other missions.
However, I'm in the process of relocating and starting another job. This means that I'll be very busy. My subscription, which I always buy in the 2 month increments, because I never know when I'm going to step away from it for a while, expires in just over a week, and I think I'm going to go ahead and let it lapse until I'm set up again. I've determined two things:
1) I'm pretty sure that I can finish the galactic season 6 level 100 before my subscription lapses, so I'll go ahead and do so, and pocket all of the benefits, the last of which I'll pick up in the next couple of days of the new week, I believe. If for some reason I come up short and can't finish it, I'll decide at that point what to do.
2) I figured out why Voss was so laggy after coming back; as part of 7.3, they redrew the assets. So now, Voss doesn't look as good as it used to, and it's laggy, at least on my computer. They're already signaled that they're doing the same thing for Hutta for 7.5, whenever it launches. If Hutta becomes too laggy to be fun to play, I'm pretty about done with the game, honestly, until I can upgrade or replace my rig. That's disappointing, but I'm starting to lean into addressing some of my other hobbies and letting SWTOR rest for a while. That will for sure make that a reality.
In any case, here's the slightly updated Vant Galaide Hoth look. Then space opera in general will probably take a back seat to sword & sorcery.
EDIT: What I think I'll do, actually, is go ahead and do Saxon Hettar's Hutta stuff sooner rather than later. That way, in case Hutta turns out really laggy after the graphical "upgrade", I don't have to spend much time there unless I want to. I've already moved Beorn Hengest off Hutta; he finished it a month or so ago and is waiting to continue his story on the Fleet.
Meanwhile, like I said, I'm going to grind to the end of seasons in the next day or two, and then I may not play for a few weeks, my subscription will lapse, and I'll be relocated in a new place when I start again. We'll see if the break becomes a discontinuity that makes me not play nearly as much when it's over or not (I suspect that maybe it will be, because I'm already revisiting DFX, my fantasy setting, and thinking about new things to do there). Also, the double XP and half priced collection unlock sale is still ongoing, although I'm not sure what I want to unlock right now. There are some pretty pricey things I've got my eye on on the GTN, but it seems unlikely that I'll get them so soon. We'll see. I'll have 1200 or so cartel coins just from the Seasons rewards that I'll get today or tomorrow. But that doesn't mean that I'll have anything meaningful to spend them on right now that I really want.
Anyway, here's Graggory, which even though it's one of my earliest names is actually one of my favorites because it's got that Star Warsian "not quite a real name, but almost" feel to it like Han Solo or Lando Calrissian, sporting a 50s spaceman suit.
UPDATE: Finished the season. I think I'll do a little bit when I have time of some other stuff, put not much. I'll come back to SWTOR at some point after my relocation.
