Squad Leader 90:1
Hey Everyone tells me the best way to grind the Force xp is combat xp with the commando skills however looking at ratio. Combat ratio is worse than BH which is 1 for 1. That is for each 1 BH xp you get u get 1 Force xp. So how come people just arn't working up the invest tree and using the xp that way. I don't get it cause You people arn't stupid I know this so tell me why so I can understand why everyone isn't a BH
Thanks.

You can get 3 Combat XP a lot faster than 1 BH XP, if you use grenades.
That way the Combat XP way is faster, but you go through a lot of grenades.

In addition to all the above, I'd like to point out - The investigation tree is no walk in the park, bugged missions GALORE, stupid droids, and the quickest way to make BH xp is to kill Jedi, and you'll then need to make a Jedi Killing template or have a hit squad at your beck-n-call. Trust me look at my Template bellow (Noavik), this gets me through the FS grind very icely 
I know where you are coming from with the BH xp thing but it really isnt practical if you want to get Jedi some time this year

I think the 1:1 thing is a mistake. I converted some xp recently and I only got 5:1 ratio. And I can get alot more combat xp in the time it takes me to hunt one npc bounty worth 400xp or so.

You also get 10% combat xp along with weapon xp.Because of this,the combination of weapon and combat xp gives double the xp when you cash in. For example, if you turn in 300k of weapon you also turn in 30k of combat for 20k total FS xp. It is an effective ratio of15-1of your totalweapons xp.
BH xp is s-l-o-w compared to other ways to grind.

nope, wrong.
it is either 5:1 or 1:1 depending on WHAT kind of FSXP you are trading in for. combat prowess is at 1:1 and reflex is 5:1.
make sense? hahaha not to me is doesnt, i dont get why its that way, it just is.
i believe the answer to the poster's question has been given, but my advice is TRY it....after it takes you 30 minutes to get 150 BHXP and hence, 150 combat FSXP, you will understand. (because you can get more than 450 normal combat xp with just one grenade (and thus 150 combat FSXP) in the 3 or 4 seconds it takes to throw that one grenade)
Now, some ppl think it might be beneficial to chase FSXP by getting BHXP, but only if you are slicing terminals, which give 1K BHXP a pop. but its kinda slllloooooowwwwwwww.....

takes me a good hour to get 6000 BH xp, more or less not enough jedi on the terms to make it really fast. If you go against NPC jedi then its really slow, figure at least 15 minutes a mark for 450xp. In 1 hour I could do way better than 6000 combat xp.

Investigation tree NOW is very very easy. Back when I mastered BH I was on my last investigation bubble right when vehicles were introduced. Man that was one crap-of-a grind! Be thankful for vehicles, JTL, and those extra skill points /grumble; /grumble

If you could consistently hunt jedi, say at least 1 every half hour, you would do good converting BH xp into FS xp. However, doing npc BH missions or hunting jedi not at an insane rate isn't as good as just killing things and converting the combat xp and weapon xp.

Nope, you're wrong. I took you at your word and converted a little over 5000xp to combat prowess. 5:1 ratio again.
