[Diplomacy - damn annoying]

Go to the fleet and stand next to your ship's airlock. Check for the mission(s) you want, if they're not available zone into your ship. Check again, if still not available zone back to the station to refresh the list again. Bit of a hassle but better than wasting time, credits, and in this case LS/DS points on missions you don't need.

[Companion Spam for Ops Leaders]

Wrong place to post you need to go to customer service forum

This isn't a fix request, I imagine BW is aware of it. It's a cautionary tip for Ops leaders to make absolutely certain all their members have (and keep) their companions stored before they join the raid. My fault for not being clear.

[Companion Spam for Ops Leaders]

When you form an Ops group if anyone anywhere has out or takes out their companion the game starts spamming messages nonstop in the chat boxes and across the middle of the screen.

A picture is worth a thousand companion messages...

Turning off all game notifications doesn't work, having members store their companions doesn't work. I was getting up to 100 messages per minute, making ops/party/guild chat, tells, etc spammed away constantly. If not for voice chat I would have had no way to receive messages from my group.

[Diplomacy and Alignment]

Assuming your companion didn't fail and you're just starting it's only going to give you between 1-10 points per mission.

 

Check your current points then read the mission report, that will confirm you're getting them.

[How to Get Your Topic More Views]

Topics with subjects like "Hey guys check this out" or "I'm just wondering" will often be skipped over due to their ambiguous nature. There's a lot of good information on the forums and readers have limited time.

 

Try to think in terms of keywords, tags, word clouds, etc when writing your subject line and include at least one. Being specific in your subject will attract more viewers, not less. It also helps readers a great deal to find your topic if it becomes popular.
