Like many others I have wasted time collecting the HK components. The loyalty chip and weapon component are easy enough through flashpoints. However scanning large areas for a random spawn is so frustrating. It was fine back in 1.5 when the entire server was looking in groups, but now the mission has long since faded into memory and solo searching is painful.
I know I'm going to get the standard reply saying 'you need to earn it'. Which is partially true, but time is not a luxury. Particularly with such a poorly designed searching mechanic. So I propose the following:
1, Delete the Burba Seismic Scanner and replace with the seeker droid. At least this gives a general bearing where to search, plus buffs are available.
2. Once unlocked on a single character allow it to be purchased via collections (similar to treek)
