Jonyank,

Thanks for the reply and the info! I do have Feign Death, as does my partner, but whatever is aggroed seems to stay aggroed when you get back up.

I think we'll try the destroy mission next, just for the heck of it. It's possible that the game mechanics for setting up the various parameters are the same as those for using the computers and terminals (or keypads).

Thanks again for your reply!

I did have to run a couple of times, but mostly walked everywhere. Got incapped once,but was apparently forgotten about by whoever incapped me, was able to heal up and get some codes I needed and walk out of the room.

I watched my partner just get wiped as he covered my back and kept the NPCs off of me (he did a great job!). Imagine how great it felt as I approached the prisoner cell and entered the hard-won code to unlock the door and free him with ten minutes to spare! It looked like the two of us hadcompleted this mission by doing our homework, going on some reconnaisance runs and developing a plan, then using our wits and keeping our cool.

Then imagine how it felt to see "You cannot converse while in combat" (or something to that effect) upon attempting to speak with the prisoner... the incredible frustration at realizing that all we would get for this effort was a couple of bantha dolls and some giggledust. (Who uses that stuff anyway? You can't sell it. You can't GIVE it away. Oh, wait. SOE/Lucas gives it away ).

Does anyone know if you can complete the tasks necessary to destroy the ship (on the Neutral Destroy Mission) when you are aggroed? Seems you could do somethings, like pick stuff up and use terminals or computers while aggroed, but you could not put the spare droid part into the droid (I ended up risking the electricity damage to unlock the meeting room).and of course, could not speak to an NPC...

I liked corvette before the minipublish which added a super droid in mostly every important corvette room.

We were able with appropriate group to go through corvette and kill everything except super droids.

Now it is mostly impossible without high level jedi.

Once you aggroed by droid you are forced to follow "run, die and try again" tactics.

This way you can't get a good loot and I really see no fun in it.

So last changes just removed all the fun and made corvette only interesting for jedi

(if you can count interesting just simple to be able easy kill)

You still can make it even solo, but make it -means only to get badge.

Mish (Ahazi)

.....just did the Corvette..finally

Did the rescue w/ 5 people and finished w/ schematic and badge....it was fun *BUT*..

• I spent 2 hours getting the ticket..ok..whatever..thats fine


• spent at least 100k buying BE brandy, 40% synsteak, 40% psg, and +1100 vercupti


• ruined composite armor


• got a schematic I can't yet use...


• got a Bantha Doll...thanks guys

This has been said before..but the Risk vs Reward is kinda off and not work repeating imho

• migrate stats to 400-400-1100


• buff..of course..I self buff w/ be clothing and bivoli for 2400


• 68% base armor..goes w/o saying


• BE brandy w/ 25% fill at +400


• Vercupti at +1100 w/ 65 % fill for 8 mins


• synsteak for 40% reduction for 37 hits


• TKA power boost


• dancer mind buff

Final HAM for the next 8 mins = 4400/ 4400/ 4600

and just before I run..start a self heal macro and CoB macro.

...mind u this is just for the destroy asyou can be aggroed asyou throw the engine switches. Rescue only works if there is no aggro ..and assassin..haha..nope..I cant do that solo

one of my guild members has successfully solo'd the corvette 9 times on the solo destroy mission since they changed it.

Reason for being able to do it.

Incap food reduction. This reduces Incap time and increase grace before agro is achievedfrom mobs.

Note this only works on the destroy mission where you dont actively have to engage mobs just switch levers and activate controlls.

I think you need to re-visit this quest and seriously change the way it functions for all players.

Destroy missions should be soloable in my opinion.

Rescue missions should require a group of 1-5 people.

Assasinate missions should require a group of 5-10 people

take a look at how it is written and re-vamp it in a progressive way have 3 versions of the dungeon with varying difficulty levels if you have too.
