1) If you get aggroed by 5 NPCs in total...all at the same time, you wont draw more aggro.
Its like walking into the squill cave or something...only 5 will aggro you al at one time, and form a ring around you...once you train 5 of them, the rest wont aggro.
Same principle on the Corvette.
The idea here is to draw the 5 aggro, but not have them follow you around and surround you obviously.
This method isnt really all that practical in the vette anymore, since most of the aggro WIL chase you, and you dont want 5 SBDS aggroed on you all at the same time.
Besides that, they drop aggro if you get too far away.
2) No, SBDs no longer attack the NPCs, this was a fix put in some time ago, at the same time, they greatly increased the number of SBDs in the vette.
3) I used to use the walking thing, and I dont anymore. I dont find that running draws any extra aggro. The only room on the whole thing that gives me fits is the engine room thats packed with SBDs on the destroy mission.
The rest of it is cake.

With all that, most of the time I'm not even making it to the base of the ramp in those SBD rooms, before I get smoked.
Am I really unlucky, or is there something I'm missing here?
You are missing- or at least you didn't mention - the following:
1) Pikatta pie
2) Synthsteak (take 25 minutes before)
3) Neutron Pixie
4) Vercupti
5) Breath of Heaven
6) 1x Brandy (take 25 minutes before)
7) After getting your codes, agrro as many mobs as possible on the entry level deck before taking the elevator down and setting foot into SBD rooms

Never tried to solo it.... but I think I might be ready. I have a few questions though:
As a TKM, whats the best way to not argo too many mobs? Walk and not use area attacks?
What food should I bring in addition to buffs? What do I start using.... and then when I die.... what do I use to replace the buff I lost?
Is it worth the few minutes it would take me to meditate to reid myself of my wounds when I die? Or do I just eat/drink and go again?
Should I have any doctor skills? Or is it possible to do it without medic skills to heal oneself? I know a guy who used to solo it... but don't know if he had medic skills.
And of course, last quest... as a TKM, whats the best attack plan with each mob? Knock down followed by hit3? Mind hit?
Thanks for answering these noob questions!

Does anyone know if they (the devs) have "fixed" the couple of tricks that were mentioned in this thread to activate the elevator for the destroy mission. I have tried three times in the last two days and have never found the door open so you could look in the room and target the elevator terminal. Through the closed door (as mentioned way back in this thread) I could do a /target ele, hit "~" and get the radial menu for the elevator terminal but when I select "use" it always says I can not see the target ... I got to the door one time without being attacked and stood there for 10 min moving around and doing the /target ele etc. and nothing worked. The bad part is that I studied this guide (which is great) but did not read what I had to do if I had to do it the "right" way 
Well, I guess I should just figure out how to do it the "right" way

the door is pretty random, sometimes it just doesn't work, so just go unlock it by running through the force field
and to the other questions, the easiest way to run this is getting enough agro on the first (starting) level, usually 5 or more agro on you, make sure you having synthsteak before you start, then the sbd's won't mess with you until you hit the armory area and sometimes they don't even mess with you there, but i typically loose agro there

your welcome, btw, if you have a buddy with you, have them come try the door, just cause it doesn't work for you, doesn't mean it won't work for them... its an odd bug

just a couple add-ons (since I haven't seen em mentioned);
If at all possible try to avoid aggro till you go up the elevator for the first loot spot and let any and everything up there aggro you- you don't need this area again anyways and it keeps most of the SBD (most, not all) from the SBD room from aggroing you. Also I think they've expanded the aggro limit to at least 10 rather than 5 as I have seen many more aggros chasing me through the halls then 5.
If the first bridge shortcut doesn't work- the second one always does, and it's much easier than risking all the mid-to-high end ranged mobs in the room with the droid parts. Just try to (calmly, with the SBD standing right there watching you 
) target the console in the SBD room and just use the ~ key to bring up the radial menu- if you stay the 10m away you will get very little shock.
) target the console in the SBD room and just use the ~ key to bring up the radial menu- if you stay the 10m away you will get very little shock.For better protection, use effectiveness sliced 80% comp only- the higher the slice the better as most of the heavy shots you take are ranged energy which normal or encumbrance sliced comp helps very little with. I have a set sliced to 86-88% eff and with my master doc/ master swords template I have very few problems. Try to have 2 or 3 PSGs uncrated and do not equip any of them until you aggro your first SBD or high-end MOB (why waste the PSG on weak hits- you'll need it later).
Secondary equipment: Triple-stack brandy (mentioned earlier-usually good for about 10 minutes), but save stomach space for when you need it either by using Prollyian Air Cake (for Dodge, if I recall) and/or Sythsteak (with the 40%+ fill- save for emergency use). If you are non-wookie (big advantage ), having good support clothing on helps as well. My example is - find a +25 med use shirt and wear under your armor, does nothing but help your heals, added to 2 A'akuan rings (or 1 A'akuan and the Hero rez ring), and a CoB macro, and, as long as you know where you're going and what to do, you should have no - or very few at least- problems.

If none of that helps, and you're on Tempest----- hire me and my guild, we need the work and we'll get you throughit!! 
Good luck with my 2 cents worth......
oh yeah, and

Is there any way to clear all quests that you are on? Because when I try to talk to Bruce McBrain for the neutral destroy mission he says that he needs my help but I'm busy right now and to come back when I am finished with my current task. I dohave -5000 Jabba faction, could this have anything to do with it?I dont remember taking any other quests.
