im sorry but how in the hell is the game working as intended ?? how can the devs put in a new system of LOS that we all obey but then they decided that the turrets dont ??
since when has it every been anounced that turrets will now insantly kill u from over 1000m away
The easiest fix for this is to Shorten the base Spawn timer, remove the suicide timer on the commander, and get rid of the turrets... In short, there is NO easy fix for this quest, this is how bad it is.

Tried again sunday night, this time with a group of 6. The same as before 2 closest bases were camped, so we went with the 3rd (again!!). Less confusion at the start, we kept him moving, half way along he looses sight of the leader and turn back. this happens twice. .... We arive at the village, this time we were able to get inside and the guy starts to gargle. The leading player runs to the captain ... and what do you know Quest Successful!!!!
So i think the absolute limit is about 5.6k until this guys gets some new trainers and burst run.
Get this Quest Hotfixed ASAP! I do not care how it is done! Just fix the damn thing so it is doable! Even if it is something as simple as making it so the commander can hop on your Speeder!
1. Fix LOS on Turrets!
2. Make it so commander can be given a ride!
Then this quest would be doable!
In addition... on Ahazi Dathomir is on major broken overspawn. On my way to the village there were roving packs of 50 or more NightSisters... scarey.
The Sith Pirates aim for vehicles (so don't use your BARC's, AV21's or anything you don't want to replace!).
I managed to get a friend to help me on this quest. We wait 4 hours for our spot. I watched a Master JEDI Ninja steal the mission from someone ahead of us. He soloed it so I was thinking "Hey, maybe this isn’t so bad". Boy was I wrong. When it came to our turn I was hit 12 times for 550 damage...IN A SINGLE HIT!! That’s right, my combat reader went BLAM 550,550,550,550,550...you get the point. In a half a second.
I was insta charred. My buddy wasn’t going to wait another 4 to 6 hours (there was a line behind me at least 4 teams long) so I said that I’d wake up extra early to do the mission. Whats with the 2 hourspawn rate anyway?
So I get my gear ready, set my droid for kill and go to take on turret #1. From a distance I press A. My droid starts his attack run and the turret hit’s me...but I’m ready for it right?...wrong. Even with food and energy shielding It still hits me for its full 550 each. But remember I’m still ready for it. I have a plan B.I have distance on my side right? You guessed it...wrong again (how stupid of me). It was like a bad Monty python movie. I’m running behind trees, hills, creatures and it still keeps hitting me. BLAM.... Closest cloning facility (you know the drill) so just to say I tried I do the mission 4 more time. On my last try I arrive to find that a solo Master JEDI has cleaned up the place.........
I don’t want a Fix in next months Patch, I don’t want the friggen Crystal gift. All I want is the tree opened. Its not a hand out. I feel that we’ve shed enough time, money andblood on an obvious in-game BUG. I already have the Force xp’s.

That's right. Shot me 10 times INSTANTLY from 200 meters away. I'm hoping they fix this soon. I don't mind waiting to finish the mission, but I'd like the opportunity.
EDIT: I'd like to add that I didn't even have the force quest at this point. I was scouting out base names for my friend since I planned on doing the quest later. (The base was 'Iota,' by the way, on Ahazi. Third closest base.)

I'm so gladI decided to skip this quest.
My condolences to all those who need it to unlock jedi-initiate.

this quest needs a lot of fixes (turrets, commander moving faster than walking pace and not getting stuck, etc.), but the easiest way to make a quick fix would be to at least double the amount of time you have to get the commander back to the village.
Or better yet, there should not be a timer at all! I mean, WHY?
until they get this mess sorted out that would be fine too.
This... obviously... makes me mad for wasting the time (thinking that I could get this done within the timelimit.... but nope.
I ground out all the EXP to get Jedi, and this is the only thing standing in my way.... I'm unlocking this phase with this quest, reguardless of how I'll have to do it.
Ok ... Chose the Nu Base on Ahazi today ... Got to the base, killed bucket loads of sith waiting for the base to respawn turrets (1 MDef/MLS Jedi, another CL80 Jedi template unknow, 1 Rifleman, 2 TK/Swords hybreds and a TKM all CL80). Turrets spawned and killed everyone except for 2 of us, the Mdef, and myself the TK/Swords Hybred. I ran off using Ruby Belile and 1238 stimpacks for insta heals till my fluid was full. had synth, got away @ 500m, got incaped BUT NOT INSTA Killed. Did a suicide run on it got it to 50% and was killed after 5 insta heals @ 1238 and Synthsteak and Piketa pie and bofa treat and blob candy AND COB +500 Defence. So thats 309 Melee Defence, 239 Ranged Defence, +500 COB Defence .... and i got 12 shots @ 550dmg getting 1 turret to 50% ... 5k ham from 10k. Did a few more TOTALLY unsuccessful runs at it and gave up, after realizing someone else had deactiveated the shield before us and was waiting for us to take out every thing so they could waltz in and take the commander. So thats my story ... gonna keep cracking @ it till I get it done or SOE fixes it =) Hope this helps
Main Points:
Turrets hit for 550pts PER SEC ... PER TURRET x4 with some shooting 2x PER SEC
Other People can just *Hijack* the missions SIMPLY by deactivating the shield before you do.
