Thread: AT-ST changes on Test Center
I think that it should be a quest item,
I think that you should only be able to start the quest once you have acheived the highest imperial rank,
I think the quest should be very difficult to solo,
I think the at-st should cost heavy initial fp's then be a heavy credit sink to repair them
And THEN I think they should mop rebels up like they used to before.
It's a high-end imperial weapon, and I don't think it should be attained with mediocore combat skills and just a small time investment. Achieving highest imperial rank alone is a time sink, and then to up the price a bit more is a pretty hefty committment to earning one of these. Of course people can buy fp's and there are exploits, but make the quest difficult as well to try and counter this. I think all Imperails want their at-st's to be powerfull again, even if it means they can't use it or have put in a massive effort to attain it. As the game stand now, I haven't pulled mine out in a fight in 2 months, and I find myself camping Giant Dune Kimo's as a distraction till the combat revamp is done. It's High-end content, it's GCW related, it makes imperials happy(i assume), and alot of rebels do lobby for the return of "the" at-st...as long is it doesn't turn into every low level imp has a death machine. Just my opinion.
There is another way to go as well I think, make them truly expendable, and easily beaten. Let us pull one out a time, maybe 500 fp's and then a couple of stormies on top of that, and if they all drop then no big deal. Although not entirely realistic as most people see Star Wars, Rebels would love it cause they get to blow em up all the time in fights, and I would like it just for the visuals. I think at-st's exploding everywhere on a battlefield would add alot of "ambience" to the GCW. If it didn't sting to much to loose em and they did help out a bit, I would always be willing to use em.
you can email Korse on Test Center I have been working realy hard to get Storm Trooper armor and a AT-ST but saddly being a Zabrak it's realy expensive. 2X the cost comapaired to normal
Imo, all my 3 AT-STs are goodonly for show when im in my city and with protection. I used my At-sts when i was a master doctor/master CH. my pets even BE enchanced pets get toasted way to fast when doing factional missions. So i was stuck using At-St. I had to do factional missions cause being a doctor i ran out of money, there are too many doctors now. Mainly from Holo grinders that still havent got there FSS yet. Decreasing the armor on At-Sts worthless so non-combantant professions could never earn Fps. And yes thats true. the amount of Fps you earn is based on the amount of physical damage you do. I know ive grinded over half the professions in SWG already and have tested it. If im wrong please tell me and log on and show me if it works for you. My main concern with this is that At-sts will be useless. to compensate on SOEs part you should up the protectin values on Rebel factional armor. I see this as viable since, hopefully, in Pub 7 Defense hard caps go in and Commando/TKA's will be able to take damage finally. Second idea is lower the cost of At-Sts to non-human species in SWG. Paying 20k per at-st is rough on the faction pocket book as a Zabrak and i think its more for some of the other races. These are my ideas and thoughts.

Im not sure I understand the question. Are you saying that it costs less for a Zabrak to get Faction Points?

Does it cost less for humans to get an at-st? If not then why isa Zabrak harder to use to get faction points?

I think he means the manual says Zabraks don't surffer a Imperial Faction penalty but in game they do, so does the AT still cost more for Zabraks than they do for Humans.
