Let me take a minute to get serious for a moment as I say to you: SAVE YOUR MONEY!
Patch 1.6 should be called the FAIL patch.
To run the new space missions you have to get this new higher level ship gear. And how do you get this gear? You can pay money in the cash shop for it is one way. The other is to grind the other missions for a MONTH -- let me say it again -- grind a MONTH to get the fleet comms needed. And I mean every day for a MONTH because you can only get 100 per day at level 50 in the ones that already exist.
And here's the kicker, there are people who paid for the items in the store who say the missions still can't be completed with the new gear. So they paid 750 coins (per character and not account wide) for gear that didn't help them.
And btw, one of the new pieces and only one is available for 300k credits.
New PvP Warzone. First time I did it, I was like "What the I wanna kiss did I just do? This makes no sense at all." (I even put that in general chat after I left it) Then someone explained the objectives and how to do the map. (Bioware's instructions were kind of half-assed). After that I kind of liked it because I've been doing well on it. Apparently, the opposition had people who probably thought "What the I wanna kiss am I supposed to do here?"
Speaking of PvP, no more Battlemaster gear. Goes straight from Recruit to War Hero and now they have a new level called Elite War Hero. The comms that bought BM gear now buys WH. Comms that bought WH now buys EWH.
If you're already sporting the BM gear, you still will have it but just know there will be people against you with EWH or WH at the least beating the crap out of you.
Oh and if you are capped at 50, you get a free set of that worthless, watered-down, crap gear for PvE called Tionese. The lowest PvP gear (Recruit) has better stats. Only Tionese has set bonus unlike Recruit.
