Velarax Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 OK. This really HAS to change. I thought the whole benefit of having your crew members do farming and production was to free the player from the tedium of doing it themselves. Good plan. But, execution... not so good. Apart from the fact that each task takes a ridiculously long time (in game anything over 2 minutes is stupid long) every time a gathering task is completed, your companion not only INTERRUPTS whatever you happen to be doing, but TERMINATES any process you might have been involved with at the time. Closes bank and inventory window; Closes mail you were composing; closes gear window... etc. you get the point. Can't these material turnins be secondary layered? Seriously this has got to stop... it's getting so the only time I will even bother doing crew tasks is from aboard my ship when they can't interrupt or wreck anything. PLEASE *begging* fix this.

Lazzer Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Seconded, they could automatically go into the "reward collection queue" that we have if we close down a reward window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBBP Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 It is a bummer. However, for now, I just check my crew skills window. If companions will be finishing up soon, I don't start anything that I don't want to be interrupted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RixoFutu Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 /agree For example no possibility to see your gear and using GTN in one time is just pain in the ... and closing windows when another pops out, that's just so annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure the 1.2 notes clearly say that the popup windows for crew skills will no longer appear if you are in combat or close other windows already open? Something like that...

mathisk Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Yeah, the window issue is taken care of in 1.2. As for the missions taking a lot of time, that's taken care of when you get more than one companion. From then on, you can quest with one companion while your other companions are running missions or crafting things. At that point, the time requirements don't really affect your ability to do other things. Another thing to remember is that your crew can perform missions and crafting while you are offline. So if you need to craft any items that take a long time or go on any of the really long crew missions, you can start your companions doing those and then log off and let your crew do their thing while you do something else.

Kaphik Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Anything over two minutes is too long for you? You've got some problems, dude. I love the whole 'fire&forget" crew missions, and I've learned to deal with the popups. They're not that annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtrance Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Was going to bump an older thread about the same issue but didn't when someone said it'll be fixed in 1.2 so..........patience and suck it up. I'm having the same issue and it is getting very irritating. Been playing around with various windows only to have them barge in rudely in person or via the "holocummunicator".

Macabakur Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 also the higher level missions are stupidly expensive, especially with the crafting mission that arent farmable and have to be gotten through sending out companions. Underworld, thunthing, diplo, investigation. Silly expensive + silly time consuming = silly squared.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
