Why not? if I get exp that transfers back to the character in game, why wouldnt I also get the commendations that allow me to upgrade my gear as well?

I do not understand why you do not receive war zone commendation for Star Fighter. Its PvP, when you queue up you are queued for a "War Zone". So why? If they implement W.C. for participation (as they should) points/credits should retro for how many you have participated in.

Why do you not receive war zone commendation for Star Fighter?

Report #2 (First Place 11 Kills 10 assist 30k+ damage 9 medals all for 800 points???

Well that explains that. As a gunship I constantly wait for those little buggers camped underneath to come out and they sometimes just done. So essentially they are camping for points??? Great way to build a reward system for a starfighter warzone Bio-Dev....Brilliant!!!

Ive done that before. The complete stop is a nice feature to park right underneath and act as a secondary cannon. But as I am sure you know, a gunship at the source of the firefight goes down fast. Its not where its talents are best used.

What you call hiding and farming I call being the support for the ones who should be in the front line. The fighters and scouts., Its not the gunners job to rush the satellite!! As a gunner I set up the kills for the strikers. I just played another round. Top score in damage, to hit, and assist.....All for 200 points. I literally assisted in retaking and defending 2 satellites and got no credit. Not balanced AT ALL!

Badly needs a review. As someone who plays gunships and a support role the points are weak. Score the highest damage and highest assist, sometimes even kills, but then get 200-300 points??? Somethings wrong with that.

Wow. total newb here, I did not know you needed to hold the button to charge, LOL! I will try that next fight, thank you so much

Trying to build a gunship and made some mistakes putting points into ion, rail and shield. Now I am trying to earn points so I can go plasma and scanner deter. Problem is my gun is lousy, I cannot seem to kill anything barely scratching my opponent doing 15-30 points of damage if at all. so at the end of each battle with maybe one newb kill and 10 assist, I get 250 points? The upgrades are in the thousands. So am I supposed to just run 11,000 missions? need advice here bad

Is there a way to reset the spent req points? Made some errors and want to reallocate

Its too easy to make an expensive mistake. Naming is a bear given you can almost never get the real name you want, so we all come up with variations. For example, one of my characters names is Temmpyst. Problem is, its so easy to make an error. Just now I took 3 purple pieces I bought with almost 100 commendations and meant to mail it to Temmpyst (as he is the holder of mod gear) and realized AFTER I hit send that I sent it too TEMPYST...So now all I can do is mail this other char and beg for my stuff back and I am not holding my breath on that one!!! Please make it so that you have name recognition (the name drops down as you start to type if they are in your legacy for example. Or even an address book style where I can select those in my legacy thereby eliminating any chance of err. We are all human, we make mistakes. Please fix that antiquated mail system to eliminate human err I beg of you!! thank you!

Who ever is in change of designing weapons and armor needs a pink slip. Please take a class or read better books because the designs for the weapons and armor just plainly SUCK!

I look online and I find that Acute Enhancement 13A (Level 31) is out there but the schematic is not sold on the vendor on republic fleet or on the GTN...Is this made through RE or found somewhere else??

Believe it or not, this is not a rant. I would hope that whomever at Bioware would take the time to read this (although I doubt it, which is one of the reasons I quit) for constructive criticism. I have played many MMOs over the years, and this one was a failure for too many reasons that I honestly want to take the time to type out, but I will list my main reasons. Crafting... I am one of those players who play MMOs for the crafting experience. SWTOR has to be the worst implementation of a crafting system and economy I have ever seen. First and foremost on what planet do they come from where they think I want to click and wait and then call this "Fun" or "Playing a game". For me its not about the rush to 50, it never was, I enjoy the journey. Where most think its a waste of time to have the best gear possible at lower levels, I take it as a challenge to keep my Alts in the best gear for their level at every level. So I created an alt for every craft so I could basically be self reliant. But the process of attaining the materials and crafting is absurd! It would take hours clicking to missions...wait....get 3 mats (when the formula calls for 4, and that's IF you were lucky enough to get the right MAT to begin with) click to mission again, ok, maybe now I have the mats, now click and wait some more for the 20+ mins it takes to make the ONE piece. I found that a majority of the time I was clicking to create or harvest and going off to say watch TV, read a book, surf on line before I finally just had enough. I have said it once before, a crafting system such as the one on LOTR is a great example of one that works exceptionally well and even after all these years has a booming economy as a result. In frustration I haven't played for weeks, I log on after this supposed great "legacy" patch only to find nothing really has changed. I tried to start and re-equipt my lowest level char (lev 19) only to have spent 1.5 hours trying to get MATs together, then craft, and at that point I STILL had not completed the set. To make matters worse I was struggling to make blue armor at level 13 and 15 since there WERE NO schematics for pieces at level 19 such as boots, gloves, basically everything except pants and chest. Really?? Level 19 in low level blue gear and that's the best I can get?? Ridiculous. Lastly there is the MATs, or should I say the lack there of. Scouring the planets for 2-3 different kinds (when the nodes were not broken that is) and 100% of the time it was pointless as the ones I really need are mission only and those missions take 10+ mins to run and WAIT only to come back mostly with what you dont need and never in the right quantities for absurd amounts of credits to run. Over the course of time I played this game I spent hundreds of thousands of hard earned credits to advance useless crafting professions. Check the crafting forums to confirm that there is something wrong with pretty much every single one. Lastly, this "All about the higher levels" thing. Sure they need content as 99% of the population is obsessed with reaching max level and never appreciating the levels between, as if getting to the max level is the only way to challenge yourself (evolve, get an imagination), but outright ignoring the lower levels is a mistake in my opinion, and a big one. In closing I want to reiterate, Bioware, if your listening, this customer has sent you their last monthly fee. (given on a Sunday morning there was no one online I am guessing you are loosing customer in droves due to lack of proper attention) I cannot for the life of me figure out why you EVER thought that a crafting system that involves clicking and waiting 30+ mins at time would EVER be stimulating or fun is so far beyond me I amazed. Maybe in a year or so they will smarten up, stop trying to re-invent the wheel (if it aint broke dont fix it, there are plenty of MMOs out there that have worked out the kinks to what works and what doesnt work for economy). I get that you were trying to be "Innovative", but that would just mean improving something that works rather than creating from scratch a system that goes way beyond bad. Good luck to you Bioware, you have a stellar reputation to creating great games, I know I have enjoyed many of them, but your stint into the MMO world is the first time I have seen you fail on such an epic level. Cheers---canceling out.

Most certainly, I just dont understand why in Dev they decided to give an imp character a "good" companion, its counter intuitive. I just found it to be an odd implementation

I rolled a bounty hunter and this is my first imperial character. So naturally I am enjoying taking the most evil option when in conversation. So I get my first companion, Mako. Well apparently, shes a little goodie two shoes? This I dont understand, this is the imperial side, whats with her wanting me to make the moral decisions?? So far I have been getting (-) points left and right, and pretty soon she's going to jump ship. Why would they give you a companion that is "good"?? Am I missing something?

Has anyone been able to get one of the two blues that result from one green RE to go purple? I have RE'd 15 redoubt belts and still no purple. Its getting expensive as the mullinin (or however you spell it) only comes 2 to a mission. Please advise P.s. please don't tell me not to bother with purples. Unless its literally not possible, I strive for the purples.

This is feedback/request for consideration. I am a semi-casual player, I am not big into the "leveling" thing, I actually like to level slow, roam, explore, and mainly...craft. As such, I am also the player (against most advice) who like to have his toon in the best gear (within reason) for his/her level. I also like the accomplishment of being able to craft and provide that gear for myself. It is VERY discouraging that in Armor Craft for example, at level 15, all I can make is a chest guard? every level is lacking severely! Esp in the "boots/belts/wrist/waist dept.) Synthweaving is also lacking in complete sets per level. If you want to add something "special" through schematics, great. But at least give the crafts a "Base Set". Cybertech - Mods, there is 1, 2, 3...all the way to 14 ect...except series 5. Did you all forget 5? Is your dev team superstitious about the number 5? 1-2-3-4-6-7-8-9-10??? Please correct this Lastly, I am not seeing ANY mention of crafting lately, would you please give the crafters some love!!!!

So we have another update coming. Maybe I am missing something, but the patch notes, under "News and Updates" seem pretty sparse. What exactly is getting fixed? Is the list really that small? Needless to say I was severely disappointed to hear they were adding new content when so much needs to be fixed. Mainly, where are the "Detailed" patch notes, with all the fixes. On one of the past patches they sorta fixed the resource nodes, but no where in the notes was that even mentioned. Again, maybe I am missing something, but if there is a listing where the details are laid out, could someone point it out to me? Because if all there is is whats listed under the patch noted in News and updates they need to please work on that.

I dont have, nor can I find the Mods level 5? It goes 4 right to 6, and the vendor is not offering it. Did they forget level 5? Is it me? am I not seeing something? Please Advise

Maybe on your server, but on mine people are falling all over eachother for mats. I do missions, but to spend 500 on 2 (and wait 5 mins for them to complete) when I should be able to just go out in the field and acquire them for free it doesn't make sense. All I am saying is that half the time the nodes are broken, and the other half the compitition is insane, there are, in my opinion (key word) not enough nodes, drops, amounts, ect. I am asking that they up the output. Maybe increase the amount you get through missions, add more nodes, increase the drops, drop the rarity, ect.

Arms tech......Armorsmith....cyber tech They all use metal...and that stuff is so darn rare grade 1 metals on my server are selling for 5 k for a stack of 20! Which of course is creating a frenzy, ppl farming like mad and I cannot even get into the works to complete my missions without someone running up behind me in mid fight and stealing my salvage, which really @@@@@@ me off! I am all for a "healthy " economy, but this is absurd! It also doesn't help that half the nodes are broken, which is my suspicion that ppl harvest it, forget to loot, and walk away thereby breaking the node. At any rate, Bioware, please give crafting SOME attention. I could care less about new content until you fix some of the things that are wrong, like the crafting system. Metals should NOT be that rare, purples, maybe, but not common grade 1 metals. Lastly, the lack of certain schematics (boots, belts, gloves, wrist) at lower levels needs to be addressed/added.

I am new to both of these crafts, but it seems all you can make are boots, belts and gloves. Where can I find the schem. for the pants and chest?
