I looted a Bel22 deed last night and was probably going to replace my TIE Advanced with it, and I noticed from reading another sticky that the first Tier 4 mission reward is (or appears to be) a nice Level 7 gun with 3K damage.
Currently I'm using a crafted Disruptor and Ion Cannon (I think that's right - one gun does ~0.7 shields/~0.3 armor damage, the other is the opposite. They were crafted by the same person and have the same min/max damage range and speed).
As I'm a bit of a perfectionist I would probably like to get two of these quest reward items and stick them on my Bel22. Is this going to be possible? I'm presuming there is no way of doing the same quest again to get the same reward... is my only hope finding someone who is willing to sell theirs?
Also, when I was outfitting my TIE Advanced I went over my reactor cap (the text was red on the "Manage" loadout screen). Despite this I was able to launch into space, use weapons, engine and booster without any ill effects. I'm presuming this is a bug? I've since re-worked my loadout because I didn't want to risk getting decay over time or anything like that.
Thanks in advance for all your help

You didn't specify which reward item you meant. If its a reward from doing a pilot mission, you can always do the missions as many times you want. You just have to surrender your progress when you get to Ace, or before if all you're interested are the rewards. Just go back to the Imperial Pilot Coordinator in front of the palace in theed. If its a ROTW quest, you'll have to get it from someone else, those are 1 per character. Unless you have a second slot from unlocking Jedi, you won't be able to get more of these quest rewards easily.
If its a ROTW quest, you can try setting up a deal with someone on another server, where you both make a new char on their server and you both help the other person go get that item for each other. Its not impossible, it'll just take some doing.
If your power is in red and you're not generating enough energy you can:
-Use a reactor overload program to boost the power your reactor is making...
-Fly normally and some of your ship systems will not function @ 100% or at all. Booster and Droid Interface usually go first. Check which components aren't getting power by pressing V after you launch.
I'm a real stickler about decay too, and for a long time I didn't use any overload programs because I thought the decay wasn't worth it, but if you're an Ace you can always go to Deepspace and get your components repaired without any decay. The overload programs can make your job much much much easier, so if you have a friend that can run damaged components to DS to repair them for you, or you can make it to DS yourself, you might want to rethink your strategy.

Sorry should've been more specific - yes, I was after the Bolt Driver. More specifically, two of them (unless there is really better crafted stuff out there which doesn't cost the Earth).

Oh okay, yeah, you can get as many of those as you want. You just need to drop your progress in Imp and start over.
Those are great blasters to use for REing. I'm waiting on some low mass blasters before I bother using them.

Thanks for all the help I've still got a lot to learn about JTL I see.

the reward blaster you are talking about is the boltdriver, and if you want another you will need to retire from the imperial navy and grind it out agian. i would suggest equiping a heavy TIE for this to make tiers 1-3 alot easier.
also if your reactor cant power all your systems then some of them will either be on low power ordisabled starting with the bottom of the system list (countermeasures, thenordnance,followed byweapons, ect).
ifyou have no chaff or missiles, then the first thing to lose power is one of your guns. if the ammount of power you are short is less than the drain of the gun, then it will lower its damage (if you are 1k short on powerand the gun draws 2k, it will be at .5 efficiency and be doing half dmg).

Ah thanks, that would explain why the guns would still fire.
I had a flight computer equipped, but no counter-measures or anything like that. I'm guessing from what has already been said that this would've either been non-functional or crippled somewhat.
