One of the mainstays of MOMOMOROGAPAs has been to hack away at resource nodes to gather materials. For The Old Republic, Bioware has changed this to let your crew do all the dirty work while you gallivant around the galaxy.
Your crew can specialize in gathering, crafting, and mission skills in order to open up a host of options to get better items and more credits.
Clicky here for the new crew skills page revealing some of the things your crew can get up to as well as a video.
