I was trying to think of a way the devs could prevent someone from knowing what action opened up their FS slot and I thought that maybe they would use some kind of time delay between when you complete the action thatopens your FS and when it is actually unlocked. So for example, if you complete a particular mission, and then 24 hours later the slot opens up, you've most likely been playing and doing other things, and won't necessarily connect it to that mission. Just an idea.

Couldn't it be something as simple as achieving a number of things from an unseen list?

For Example: you must achieve 10 accomplishments from this list:

1. Make 100000 kills,

2. Obtain 5 badges,

3. Get 10000 faction points for the empire/rebels,

4. Cure 50000 points of Battle Fatigue for other players,

5. Etc,

6. Etc.

If this list contained 100 or more different and difficult goals and you had to achieve 10 of them (without actually knowing what they are) it would provide a challenging yet varied way of obtaining the FS slot. This way ANY player could do it no-matter their play style or profession. It would be different for each person (and very unlikely they could tell anybody else how they opened their slot). Plus since they are numeric goals they can be measured easliy by a computer, allowing the devs to monitor their progress.

This seems the only logical system to me as it fits all of the parameters the devs have mentioned.

Thanks

I more then encourage you all to drop by "Quest for the Force". We've got a number of threads of discussion on this exact topic, with some very intriguing theories(one that suspects Apprenticeship as the key, another dealing witha sampleable "pool" of force in each location that shifts.) and it'd be great to have some more voices contributing ideas

It is tied to the number of mouse clicks or something similar... Everybody mouse-clicks, nobody will be doing the exact same thing during their mouse clicks so the opening of the slot will be different for everybody... So they set it to a number that would be reached in a year and let it go... some guy that lives at the computer will get it first... the next guys will get it but nobodies path will be the same...???
