Hey this is a very good post from OP.
Very well written and certainly reflects my feelings about this FP which I have only run in part just once. (log story about why only in part)
Anyway, during the FP, I made comment that while I love SWTOR, I do not like this Colcoid FP.
One guy pointed out that had I joined the FP from Carrick Station, and gotten the back-story, instead of coming through GROUP FINDER, I might like it better.
