I was online and it got to where I couldn't travel anywhere, so I logged out and got stuck on a loading screen. Killed the process and restarted the game and now I'm in queue. First time, I was number 10, but exited thinking it was a goof. Came back to 150; I'm 113 now.

Yup, still Act 1 of my class story; just finished Nar Shaddaa actually. It seems doing all the exploration/side-quests I find and the occasional FP really over-leveled me. But I like the stories so much I do everything I see.

Good to know; thanks.

Would going to Belsavis and starting the HK-51/Section X stuff mess up my class story if I haven't finished it? I'm lvl 63 but still in Ch. 1; I've been leery of skipping ahead out of fearo f missing story content.

Ah, gotcha, thanks for the info!

I didn't know you could get sets unlocked in Collections (I haven't messed with it too much). I've just been putting full sets I have gotten in Legacy storage (or my cargo hold for Bound gear). I'll have t look into this later.

Ohhhh ok, gotcha. That's pretty cool, actually; I didn't realize they are still relevant. I'm still working my way to 65 on my first character, so I don't know much about what to expect end-game.

Ah, gotcha. I've seen that sort of restriction before in other MMOs. Maybe one day they'll remove it for Operations that are so out of date that no one runs groups for them anymore (kinda like what WoW did a couple years back when they removed the being in a group requirement to get into older raids). Do lots of groups still run older Operations by chance?

Oh wow, higher requirements than I would have thought. So I take it soloing Operations is entirely non-feasible then? xD

Good to know, thanks. I'll just have to check out Hammer Station and others not listed as they come up in my occasional random Tactical. At what level would some of these tactical flashpoints become soloable in the old school sense? 65? Or is it even doable at all? And are any Operations soloable? It'd be neat to see those down the road, but I don't know if anyone still runs the older ones.

Does Hammer Station have a solo mode with the droid? I picked up a quest somewhere to do the tactical version of it but rather enjoyed taking my time with solo mode Esseles and couldn't figure out how to do solo mode HS. I don't mind not doing the tactical quest I have right now, but it'd be neat to go through it for the story now on my own. If it doesn't, could someone tell me which other flashpoints don't have solo modes?

I've been wondering about companion gifts myself; lots of good info here. Is there a way in-game to see what tier a gift is?
