I just came back to the game last week, and noticed this happening as well. I complete Impossible Sector, rewards show Starship Scrap, chat log says Starship Scrap, but a red "Invalid Target" pops up as the game tries to load me back into my ship, and there's no scrap in my inventory. I did a google search for: "starship scrap" "invalid target" This was literally the ONLY result that it came back with. Google said to me, "1 result (0.32 seconds)" Well, at least it was a relevant result! Would be nice to know if this is a bug that needs to be fixed, or if starship scrap isn't a thing anymore.

Agreed, it is ridiculous that this function is not yet implemented in the game. Common sense aside, with as many times as this topic has shown up here in the suggestion box, you'd think the TOR dev team would've implemented this ages ago.

Without knowing the details, I'll offer what help I can: 1) You will not reach "Dark I" until you have a difference of 1000 dark points (your dark points most outnumber your light poiints by at least 1000, so 1200dark vs 200 light, etc) 2) You will not receive the dark points you gain in conversations until you turn in the quest (its final stage, usually noted by a change in quest name or when the quest no longer appears in your log). This goes for companion affection and group points, as well. If you are completing quests and are still not correctly gaining the dark points you are accruing in conversations, I would submit a ticket in-game.
