spending weeks killing the ns queen at server up... A PAIN
finding a trustworthy Weaponsmith ...A PAIN
getting inundated with tells from noobs ... ANNOYING
Waiting for an elder to spawn with a guy holding a DE-10 and equipping BH armour in an effort to make himself look more badass then you cos you happen to be holding an executioners hack.....then equpping the NSEL
PRICELESS..

Great....SWG has become a friggin space based loot dependant EQ....wonderful. I'll be damned if the devs frustrate me enough to make me drop pikeman though.....fat bloody chance. So....what the heck happened to thier holier than thou "We do not want to make SWG a loot based spawn camping game." pre-release? I hate it.

Amen brother, amen. When we started this game one of my friends was going to do AS/WS so he could be rich. Now, he's just a AS because the best weapons in the game are LOOTED, not crafted as was advertised.

Not really. Looted pikes only matter to PvPers really,in this profession anyway. I've never looted a pike(not sayingI wouldn't like to). If you don't care about bragging rights or making a huge sum of money selling loot, like some players, then loot is not paramount to you.

So last night, after months of trying, the dream came true. Even if I didn't loot the NS units myself I managed to acquire five of them at the expence of a quite strong mind fire DoT, four of which were of course used to make two NSELs, one kept by the WS that did the crafting and the other finally making its way into my little hands.
Thanks to Muffo from PRAE and ExXaR from Horus (love the Guild Smiths) I am now the very proud and happy owner of the following NSEL. Mind you I care little about the stats as long as I have it, will look into making a better one if I get a chance but for now I am very happy.
NightSister Energy Lance
Condition: 1098/1098
Speed: 3.9
Damage: 56-324
Wound: 33.6%
Range Mods : -1/+13/-1
*Insert the two standard NSEL DoTs*
And yeah its not sliced yet but I had to stay up till 4am to get it and keep the WS awake even if he wanted to go to sleep earlier. He was very happy after the crafting himself though.
Kind of giddy, yay.

I have wanted this thing since i first heard of it. Have been a pikeman since 3 months after launch and now have 2 master pikes on 2 servers. My main problem is that in 1 1/2 years of playing i have seen and killed the queen a total of 1 time.
I think that her spawning once a day is against everything SOE said about loot in swg. I leave for work before server reset everyday and so have no chance of ever finding her and the 1 time i did she drop 2k credits and nothing else. I understand the need and desire to keep this thing rare but compare it to all other professions that have a loot weapon schem.
DXR6b - available to anyone anytime
DE-10 - hard but obtainable
Scythe - Available to any moderate combat prof 2x (if you reset at planet record keeper)
Exec hack - Hard but obtainable
Geo pistol - hard but obtainable
Bezerker rifle - bugged but obtainable
All of them are available at any time during the game if you get lucky. The queen is dead on every server wihin 30mins of load. This removes content from 99% of ever servers population. The best part is that its not even that great damage wise not likely to give all pikeman the upper hand when its in their possesion.
I feel for fencer and tka and even carbineer as they get nothing (nyms carb is debatable as a loot schem) but we arent that far off. Rifle have 2 pistol have 2 2h sword have 2.
I cant even find one for sale and i have tried on the trade forums a few times not that i could probably afford one anyway. It is just a sad state of affairs. I hope the weapon pics i saw a few months ago get in game soon so we have something pretty shiney and new to play with.

Obtained a schematic and 2 motors last night and made myself one to carry around for looks, came out 1085 condition 3.7 70-343 +17 ideal and damage sliced to 88-432. Very pretty lance indeed.
As for the above post, MBH and smuggler should get something too.
