Thread: EXPLORER MISSION SUCK
Don't be grouped when selecting a mission, that even goes for droids and pets. Also, try a different terminal. I've found that not all are alike. As Brisc said, these are not fast-cash schemes. I hardly ever take a transport anymore, choosing to walk and hunt as I go. On this such occasion I ran up on the Gungan Sacred Place theme park. Never would have found that if I tyook a shuttle.
Also,
After running a few of these missions, you'll be able to determine what is best for you - meaning, which creatures are easy to kill, and easy to find. These missions will become 1000% easier when the /areascan command for Rangers comes out (soon, I am told). For now, do a little experimenting and figure out which missions give you the best time/money ratio.

I also don't see the problem with them. I actually enjoy running them. I love to explore mostly in this game. When out doing so, these missions allow me to make some cash. I think they're a great idea.
Pick these up, if you can, when you have found a nice group of mobs that are good for xping. That way you get paid to lvl your weapon skills.

pip pip cheerio!
I too love the Explore Missions... I love just wandering the Talus conutry side and picking off my current mission objective. But, whereas I can fairly well roam the hinterlands and find clipped fynocks with little problem, I have yet to see a minor sludge panther anywhere other than in the spawn grounds around Dearic. Now, I have not hit every square inch of Talus but since the point of the explore missions is give us incentive to leave town I would have thought that minor sludge panthers would be at least as prevalent as greater sludge panthers which I do see on a regular basis (and no I have never seen a minor mixed in with a group of greaters).
