Oh, no, my bad on #5. I saw someone saying they couldn't blow something up and I got it confused with the shield generators on Zosha Advance.

I find the space missions all pretty easy. 1. Need power converter. Need it on 1 (power to blasters) whenever firing, and on 2 (power to shield regen) whenever there’s a lull. 2. I have the crafted purple level 4 torpedoes. I think they’re better than the level 5 that you can buy off the space vendor. Raises blaster rate to 10/second, and adds some torpedoes I think. 3. On Drexel Sweep, the way to get through the cluster of incoming ships is to focus on them first - keep the missiles going at them as fast as you can as soon as they show up in the distance, and don’t let up on the blasters. Don’t focus first on the big ship and allow yourself to take the incoming fire. 4. If shields get low, put the power converter on 2 and fly circles around the perimeter of your screen. If you stand still, incoming fire will hit you. But if you keep moving the incoming fire misses. 5. I think once you hit level 50, the only way to blow up the bays on Hydian Way Blockade is with proton torpedoes. You get 4 torpedoes, there are 4 bays to blow up. I think blowing them up is otherwise hopeless.

Sorry if this information is already here somewhere, but I’d like some help figuring this out. I’d like a quick reference on what different classes look for in stats. Something like: Trooper Tank wants: Endurance over Aim, plus Defense, plus Shield. Trooper DPS wants: Aim/Endurance, + Crit, + Accuracy Smuggler Healer wants: Cunning/Endurance, + Power, + Alacrity I’m not even sure these are right, which is why I’m asking the question. And the list of classes is obviously incomplete. But I’m trying to get a sense of what schematics are most favorable, based on what combination of stats are most desirable. First, I’m trying to figure out (as a Armormech) if there’s even anyone that wants Medium Armor that favors Endurance over Cunning. And just generally, I’d like to understand better what stats are favored so I know what advanced schematics I get produce items that are more likely to sell. Thanks.

You can turn off the harpoon shot.

Man, I don't even think of myself as a particularly good player and I haven't had any problems (currently level 41) with elites. I keep myself and my companion well-geared and have been sending Bowdaar in as a tank, and it works fine. I haven't tried running with the DPS companions yet because I just re-outfitted Bowdaar right before I got the two girls. But I don't generally have to worry about having aggro until the opponent is down under 10%. Bowdaar does die a lot, but not until I have things well under control.
