Mission turn in is bugged for me. Anyone know a way to make it work? I have tried resetting local phases. I have tried leaving and coming back to the planet and restarting the game. Nothing is working.

No that sounds about right, elites should be tough at low levels. Scrapper really picks up once you get your Shoot First ability.

Its a lot faster overall then stopping every fight to recuperate Bowdaar/Corso's health because they can't take hits worth a damn. I don't use pugnacity for fights without strong/elites in them. I just use the stack of upperhand for a blaster volley/sucker punch. Sometimes I use cool head just so i don't have to recuperate between fights.

If you're scrapper specced, Shoot first is one of the most satisfying and awesome moves to use ever. Shoot First -> Headshot -> Back Blast -> sucker punch takes a giant chunk of health, if not outright killing, silver "strong" enemies.

I used Bowdaar mainly as I leveled as Scrapper but I think Corso would probably have been the better choice. Never bothered with Akavi, she just seemed like a melee Risha. Guss is the better, never used another companion after getting him.

When I went through this as a sawbones scoundrel, I died about 4 times trying to solo with Bowdaar. Used Corso and got it on the second try solo with him. Bowdaar is useless...

Wasn't that hard for me as a level 48 scoundrel at the time. Make sure you clear the room before you engage her. If you can't take her as a gunslinger during the first encounter, have guss CC her and take out her protectors. Then die (if you can't kill her then). She should be easy by herself and if you have the range advantage as a gunslinger. Don't forget to stim before the fight and medpac during it.

I did the Quesh planet series in 2 hours.

Only planet I finished in less time than the starting planet.

Dunno, after being Risha's errand-slave, in act 2 you just become:

You can repeat flashpoints to get LS/DS points

you can love all you want, you just get DS points for it

I got a pair of boots for killing the Grand Admiral of the Imperial Fleet. I got a companion gift for killing a Darth.

Also troopers and IAs would only get a set amount of credits in the mail every 2 weeks.
