...good grief. Why didn't they build in a warning dialog that the quest is part of the main arc and will be lost forever? Does a GM (or anyone controlling the accounts) have the technical ability to bring back the quest for me?

I was under the assumption that any mission you abandon can always be reactivated at a later time. I did this with the "Traitor" mission (Imperial, Sith Marauder) on Alderaan because part of the mission was a Heroic (correct me if I'm mistaken) and thought I wouldn't be able to complete it. Now I find that I can't do the mission anymore; the NPC (Lord Jorad Thul) won't grant it. So, is it a bad idea to abandon missions, or is this just an isolated case/bug?

So how many people missed this bonus quest because it stupidly cancels itself as soon as you shut down the field generator? The amazing thing is how one of the types of items you need to destroy as part of the bonus quest appears in an area that you can't enter until you destroy the generator.

I've been trying to get a simple blue Might Hilt 14 and have had no luck after ten or so tries.

Being a completionist, I actually like this. I'm actually going crazy right now because I think I missed a bonus/secondary portion of a quest on Tanis...but I might just be imagining things if the game doesn't allow you to drop quests. Or does the game let you drop the "kill x-number of enemies" portions of quests?

I think I missed/skipped an optional portion of a quest by accident on Taris in the Tularan Marsh area and it's driving me crazy. Do the devs have any plans to add a quest log, and if they do, will it be able to show whether you completed a quest in full or only partially? (Does anyone happen to have a full quest list for Taris?)
