The plaque is now 1/3 of the way up the pier that the guide references

Steam, I can't play without being logged into that. I'm also on Star Forge. I asked people who were online at the same time if they were having problems. They all said no. I just don't know what I am doing wrong if it is me. I have tried so many different things. Fundamentally, after I've picked up the mission and traveled to the area, don't I just get off the transport, kill the droid by the terminal, activate the terminal, and then the 3 droids spawn?

I have submitted a couple of bug tickets for this. On republic side, I tried to do this mission last week, and the droids would not spawn. The next day, I came back and did imperial side, and the droids spawned. This week, I started the mission on imperial side and the droids wont spawn. I have reset multiple times, logged in and out, shut down SWTOR program and came back in. None of those attempts worked. I keep wanting to blame myself for this problem. I keep convincing myself I must have missed some step. However, I have done it successfully before, and I am doing exactly what is spelled out in guides and YouTube tutorials. Please look into this.

This is my first life day, and I was told to save my cartel coins for collection unlock sales. That was an exciting prospect, so I did that as best I could to save. I mostly spent credits on the big ticket items I wanted unlocked. I was even ready to buy extra cartel coins for unlocks. Now that unlocks aren't happening, I feel no need to spend any money, and I am disappointed and mad that I wont be able to unlock all the items I had been collecting on any sort of sale. On top of that, nothing in that list of unique daily sales is something that has me on the edge of my seat excited. Yay for anyone that has been waiting on those items though.
