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.

Not that I don't agree with many of your statements but at least it's known and available however difficult and inconvienent it isas for the fencer's junti mace however no one on any server in any profession has one or knows exactly how to get it but you can see a wookie holding one on the loading screen and it's been confirmed by devs that it has been in game (technically not literally) since the introduction of the bestine elections.
