I am new to SWTOR and PVP. Yesterday I was playing Voidstar. We had successfully defended first without losing any area and were attacking in the second round. About halfway through the timer there was an opportunity to plant a bomb at the door, which I did and defended. So our team won at that point.
Then I saw (newb, too busy pushing buttons to read stuff in chat) that someone had asked in ops chat not to capture (or specifically "cap"), which I assume means he didn't want me to end the scenario at that time.
I am wondering why this would be asked for (maybe achievements?) and if this is the normally expected behaviour in Voidstar? If this is not normal, when would I be expected to plant a bomb vs. not? How would a tie be broken in Voidstar if no team opened any doors?
