I too have the same loop going between Rian and Eyma.

And psiko even thoughI can see your point of view and agree the concern of people farming heavy x-wings over and over is valid... there is no reason why the devs cannot fix this to where the badge and reward are tied into each other.

I am not an advanced level gaming programmer, but i have taken your basic IT classes,and i dont get why this would be problem.

Talk to station, it checks for current faction chassis badge. (if rebel it checks for heavy xwing badge) if the badge value is 1, then allow pilots to disable vette for fun, but provide no chassis. If badge value is 0, then allow for the award of the chassis and badge. Now that the badge has been rewarded, next time around they will be able to complete the quest again however the reward would not be presented.

The logic behind such code is not very complex, and should be easily implemented by a company as large as SOE who *should* indeed have competent programmers on their teams.

If your concerned about the ion gun being farmed that too could check for any of the three badges before being awarded. This could easily be implemented in the IG text as well. As i recall before the final mission there was a dialouge option of 'what kind of reward is there?' and the rebel station told me something along the lines of 'we have an experimental x-wing lying around'... just change that text to 'we've already given you the best of our resources, but you are our only hope' or something like that. Everyone wins. No chassis/gun farming, yet pilots get their content.

And let us not forget there are people that did not complete this the first time through, who never got their previous faction reward. We are depriving those players with content they payed good money for, simply to protectan economy of fake swg credits? This is just a game after all... the content they purchased with real world currency trumps that concern IMO. And after all, the IG economy has been out of whack for a loooong time now anyways.

Im sorry im just not understanding.

My view is this.

xwing badge. 1 time deal.
Rg tie badge, 1 time deal
Vaskalywhatever its called 1 time deal


Each pilot profession gets 1 shot at it's unique chassis. If this is about quest reward parts. i could care less about that, 1 time per character is perfectly understandable for the parts involved.

I just want the damn chassis that i feel each pilot profession is entitled to for a 1 time deal.

Now having said that, i should NOT however, be able to get a heavy xwing as rebel, go imp, get the RG tie, then go back to rebel and get the heavy xwing again.. NAH UH. already got the badge, did that, no more.

EDITS:
I speil gud.

We are saying the same thing Ducimus, just in different ways.

I want to see any pilot that finished the CPG string (in my mind, the CPG string ends when Eyma says good work and sends you on your way) get access to T5 duties and the Advanced ship missions, and NOT lose that if they change squads.

I don't mind if someone does all three advanced ship missions once each UNLESS:

the devs make it clear in the text of the CPG missions, that this is designed to be a branching path, similar to the Kerritamba Villagers/ Kerritamba Outcasts. That is a clear(er) choice between 2 outcomes and limits you to one set of badges or the other. If the Advanced ship badges are intended to be one per customer then that needs to be made clear, and I won't object. As it stands now, it can go either way since the quest is so bugged.

I DO NOT want to see the following:

Multiple trips through the CPG missions (and their rewards)

Multiple chances to get Advanced Ship Deeds

Pilots losing access to T5 Kashyyyk Duties or their advanced ship mission because they changed squads.

I completed the quest and recieved the Vaksai as a neutral, then changed squads after I masterd the smuggler master pilot quest. I am also stuck on this loop trying to do the missionfor the heavy x-wing.

I'd like to suggest a different solution. Have a vendor set up on Kashyyyk that would buy your old Kashyyyk station reward ship chassis for 1 credit and reset the quest flag so you can do the quest again for whatever ship you'd like.

From the look of things, the bug that prevented pilots who told Eyma the Ghrag mercenaries were thin and weak from continuing in the Heavy X-Wing/Vaksai/Crimson TIE quest has been fixed, but there's another layer to it that's still preventing some of us from moving along with the quest.

The problem lies in the fact Eyma's leg of things is on the ground while Rian of Kashyyyk station's leg is in space--and, when you drop your pilot squad to pick up another, space missions are reset while ground ones are not. So if you've switched squads since encountering the initial bug, the two halves of this quest will no longer be in synch, leaving you bugged in a new but also unbypassable fashion.

This is my guess as to what's going on, anyway, but I could still use confirmation on that. So I need two things from you guys: first, if you've been able to move past the original bug since publish 19, let me know. And if you haven't been able to progress, I need to know whether you've switched squads since initially getting stuck.

I've made an initial bug report to the devs, but knowing this for certain will help me be able to push for a follow fix. Thanks everyone.

Was Imperial Ground, Corsec

Completed Imp Kash Quest, Got Tie Deed, X-wing badge.

Completed Neutral Kash Quest, Got Ship plus badge

Become Rebel Ground , Havoc before p19

P19

Couldnt complete Kash Space Quest Rebel cause Eyma is stuck at me completing it as Imp

Switched to Imperial Ground, Black Epsilon. Didnt get Tie Badge

As a badge hunter, its was a big shock discovering that i cant get all badges at this time, due to eyma. The fact thati didnt get my tie-badge was dissapointing but not unexpected. Soe useally need 3-4 times to actually fix something. They're better as nerfing. Anyway i hope they canfix this in the future, but i doubt it.

You have to wait for a fix, hope you have many time to wait.

I'm buged with this %&$§ Quest over 3 month now and they dont fix it .

I think JTL is not importand for the DEVs, they dont fix anything only new bugs are avaible with every new PUB.
