Just wanted to make sure of something, if I put an attachment on one piece of armor, can I detach it and apply it to another later?
So long as it has the hard-points and can sensibly be done I don't see why not.

For example:
You're not moving "Custom Fit" from one armor to another cause that wouldn't make sense!

So can you benefit from an attachment you are trying to mod while modding it? Thinking of getting a mechanical arm and upgrading

If I understand your question- no, you cannot use something to mod itself.

Two questions, I am sorry about the format.

Would I need a check to alter Solork's current mask to a more T-shaped helm? it would have no mechanical effect, just cosmetic. If so, I would imagine that it's a Mechanics of some sort

Just to make sure - in the Retribution event, the Major roll can be attempted any number of times by the "big 4" (with each failure constituting lost time), and supporting rolls may only be attempted by others but not by the "big 4" - is that correct?

Event questions (sorry, but I don't exactly know how to apply the goodies to the event):

Using Full Throttle as Manoeuvre (Basic, Improved, Supreme) works how in the first round?
Using Repulsorlift Enhancers attachment Manoeuvre works how in the first round?

(both increase max speed; do they just increase speed straight, or the difficulty as well)

Do Shortcut & Shortcut (Improved) apply?

Do speeds and speed differentials pass from round to round?

In the doctor thread, how does the difficulty ramp (when do we start moving from easy to average, etc?)

It's progressive, so the first player rolls a easy, then the next player rolls a average, etc.

For the Helping the Civs thread in the Medical Center:
"Force Powers that apply to the context of this situation may be used instead of rolling a dice and will negate the need to make a check, as well remove having to make one upgraded check. Be aware, however, that you are using Force powers in a Imperial friendly environment and you could be caught doing this."
Got a question here - could influence be used to calm down folks to make for an easier time exiting? If so, how would you say that would work?

Thanks! :)
