On a possible related note...anyone notice that the Colors bar on test has a little pull down menu at the tailor? It only lists costume/uniform at present but why would that be there unless they were planning on letting us color other choices. Hmmmm?

Friend of mine pointed that out to me. Only seems to work at the tailor, not during initial creation. Still, could it be a glimmer of hope?

It's already on Live, and has been for quite some time. The other option in the menu is "Supergroup", (assuming you are in one, of course) which also explains its absence during initial creation.
It lets you assign your supergroup colors to each costume part individually for each costume slot (i.e. gloves part in slot 1 using SG color1, gloves in slot 2 using SG color2, gloves in slot 3 not using SG colors at all, and so on) and it only applies to playing in SG mode, of course, the rest of the time the colors are as seen in "Costume".

It says nothing about repeatedly playing the same mission...forever if they can get away with it - which is what farming is.

...finding and repeating running missions without completing them for what they perceive to be the best "Bang for the Buck"...

I'll take exception to that, as I do farm (mostly on one of my 50s, but also on my mid 20~30s types), but I finish my missions, because (as you mention) there's the XP/Inf bonus. In most other games I've played the CoX farming definition is just flatly impossible, due to lack of constant instancing, but there are still farmers.

I farm soloing by getting one of the "Endless repeater" contacts (or the radio/paper) and running effectively the same mission over and over and over, then when I outlevel them (or if i get bored with aliens/roman traitors/whathaveyou), I move on to the next repeater or zone, or thanks to the MA, I can run exactly the same mission repeatedly, finishing it every time (yeah, no xp/inf, but tickets work just as well). With the non-MA stuff I guess I lose a little time traveling, but thanks to calling the contact and usually playing in a smaller zone (ie. not the shard or RWZ most of the time) I can frequently get the same doors for many of them.

It should be noted that I'm a wanderer by nature, but I occasionally find some build or goal I like and manage to focus enough to do the same things or play the same character for as much as a couple of weeks at a time.
