I finally finished my ACE quest last night. I have to admit this is one of the most gratifying accomplishments I've made in SWG. I've mastered over 14 professions but nothing compared to this. Most professions are just a grind. Go get enough XP, however you can, and keep at it. JTL is different because of the missions.

This is very simple but, hereare a fewsuggestions for those frustrated with finding people to help them get ACE.

1. Use your friends list!!!! Keep track of people who are doing your faction missions and are the same level. I solo'd 90% of my missions, but the ones I needed help with I asked other pilots I had met at the mission givers. I'd always ask if they would be willing to help me if I ever needed it, and that I would be willing to help them. If they said yes, I'd add them to my friends list with a group of 'Pilot Help'. That way I could sort on group and find people to help me.

The rest have to do with the vette mission...

2. Carefully pattern the spawn times and path of the vette.

3. Come up with an attack plan by asking someone who knows how to do it.

4. Don't ask people to show up at random times to help you... send out an email with the time you think the vette will spawn, meeting location, and plan of attack. People are more likely to come if you have a well thought out plan for the night, rather than a 'I hope it spawns soon' attitude.

5. The best way to find people to help you with the vette is heading to kesselnear the spawn times. Sometimes you'll find a ragtag group there getting demolished. Ask to join their group next time and invite all of the Pilot Helpers on your friends list.

Anyway... After all of the fuss I think it is worth having to group to finish the mission. I just wish it was easier to find a group. Maybe a 'pilots for hire' chat room would work.

It was awesome after we finally finished it. We were all celebrating and headed back to the mos e. cantina for some drinks and celebration. Everyone was pumped. It was like the end of RotJ. lol

Good luck to all those working on it... it's worth it in the end.
