I was 4.0.0.0 using imp dets on natches. i was getting 300k fsexp a buff if i was in a solo group. i had some extra time between phases so i did the rest of commando so i could use protons. WELL im using protons now but im only getting 350k fs exp per buff. i hear most commandos say they get 600k fsexp per buff. my vehicle is a swoop, im in a solo group, i have mind buffs, the protons dont hurrt me too bad, the protons are 4k damage with 3 speed after pup, i get 2 missions going east or southeast to cut travel time down, what am i doing wrong?
when i was using imp dets i would get 5500 combat exp a biz natch. but with protons im getting 4500 (usually lower) exp because of how fast i kill em. anyone know how to get 600k fsexp a buff?

600K is really pushing it IMO. Ive personally never heard of anyone gettin higher than 500k and even thats pushin it. Best bet is to get the best buffs you can get 3:30+ some brandy as mind buffs are a nice help but are not entirely necessary. Just pop 2 brandy and canapes if you want. Get 2 missions in the SAME direction. This will cut down on travel time. Never tried protons so dont/didnt know of any exp change with them. I can easily get 300-450K per buff session but usually get bored with it and do other things. All in all do it at your pace not someone elses. If you get 300k a buff session thats still quite alot. You will finish one tree in about 4-5 days.

Three full caps is a good run for me. Sometimes I can get a bit more, often a bit less. I can count on 2+ caps per buff, the rest depends on so many side factors. Of late, I've had some bad runs with Rancors eating my GBNs, Nightsisters stopping to check my hunting license, and of course helpful other players who know their way around the village, and nade grinding, but miraculously are n00b enough to confuse another person's mission lair with a wild spawn. 
The hardest part these days is getting into a good group early on, and hoping the mission-terminal-roulette is feeling cooperative.

no, i mean 650 fs exp. use the search function, put in 600fs exp or somthing like that and u will see quite a few master commandos that can get 600k fs exp a buff. im wondering how to do it. some have posted how and im following exactly what they say but im only getting 350k exp.

i'm not sure if what they say is true. i would just forget it. 350k FS xp is good for one buff IMO. i can never be arsed doing it and often stop after 2 caps. if i can motivate myself i can do 4 caps usually, getting me a nice 400k FS xp.

350k-400k fsxp is good enough for 1 buff session.
500k fsxp is BS
400k fsxp all the time? its just kindergarten lie

If it is just XP your after, why take missions? If you are wanting a high XP rate (XP vs Time), why spend the time running back to a mission term, searching for the axact mission you want, and then heading back out to your spwan? I am a master pistoleer and am not able to use nad's. If I go out to dath (near the village) and kill everything in sight (Stay away from Rancor, cause low XP for the work) I get about 450K XP per buff. If the reason for taking missions is that you want the money then you will make far more money harvesting resources while you go, useing a harvest droid. Natches are good xp but so are many of the other animals out there.

today i got 105k FS exp in 1 hr 10 minutes... and that was only going from science outpost to aurilla, so i dont really know how any one gets more than 300k/buff because of the transit time, unless you are able to find lots of lairs around outside aurilla...

If you really bust your ass and stay on focus for the whole buff session you could prolly get 600k+ FS XP...
I pulled a few 500k runs with imp dets...you really have to be regimental and be prepared before you even get buffed.
Then theres the simple things of getting some good 3 1/2 hour buffs, and getting in a good auto-afk invite solo grp to keep the xp and number of creatures in the lair high.
You could be getting less xp now that your a master commando because maybe you dropped your previous mastery, what is your current template?My temp was TKM, 4-0-0-0 commando, and some medic...

500k FS is certainly not BS.
During my grind I typically did 300k
If i had a good 3hr 50 buff then 400k
If i had a good long buff and was lucky with wild lairs of GBNs then 500k
I had one 600k session when I just got really lucky with wild lairs. 3 times during runs I had 2 or 3 wild lairs spawn between my two missions. It was just very lucky - coupled with the fact that nothing seemed to aggro the nitches on my travel. We all know the problems with snapper, purboles and those clan slaves.
I don't need to lie, my grind is done. But the normal is 300k. Anything around the 500k or above requires lots of lucky wild spawns, no aggros and a damn good buff.
