Ainsley McTree posted:Where do you get purple scrap from, besides guild conquest rewards, which we probably aren't getting any time soon Galactic Command can drop them too. I'll have to see how much of the ship is unlocked and if the prices for Frameworks are the same. To fully unlock a guild ship (per initial Dulfy guide) takes a total of 54 Dark Projects. Dark Projects can now be made with 4 Exotic Isotope Equalizers (which are available on the Blue Jawa Scrap vendor) and 1 Invasion Force. If prices haven't changed, I think we have enough Invasion Forces in the guild bank and should be able to gather the needed blues to fully unlock the ship (we'd also need a bunch of credits). Oedzi/Nipponophile, if you're still reading this at all, were you tracking what was already unlocked? I'm guessing not since I'm the Excel nerd in the group. Edit - Eeek never mind, I read that wrong - 54 Frameworks is 2700 Dark Projects. Much tougher.

Medullah posted:Galactic Command can drop them too. I can contribute some Invasion Forces. I'll be able to contribute more after the Trade Emporium/Titans of Industry conquests which I believe are February and March if I've read the schedule rightly. I'm kinda stockpiling to at least make personal conquest on my full roster with those.

If I actually get around to crafting them and I think of it, I can chuck my invasion forces in the guild bank too, if that would be helpful. Or, if they're just going to sit there and that would not be helpful, I can hang on to them and craft dark projects instead but the odds of me getting around to that is much lower than IFs

Well I crunched some numbers on lunch (Because I spend all day with spreadsheets, why not do it on break as well). Here's what we need to fully unlock the ship (in addition to what we have already, not counting the encryptions toward the Frameworks) - 14 Command Frameworks 8 Logistical Frameworks 6 Engineering Frameworks 40 Million credits (Good here, barely) This would translate to 1,332 Dark Projects, which would require 1,332 Invasion Forces and 5,328 Exotic Isotopes from the Blue Jawa Junk vendors. Looking at the cost of buying the items off the GTN, we could spend 406 million credits to buy them as well! So I think the only way we're really going to unlock stuff is by doing Conquest again, which would require much more guild participation than we currently have.  On the other hand, this does mean that Dark Projects might hold value and be a good seller on the GTN for anyone who wants to make them.

Well, once I get the remaining starship decorations I'm looking at, I'll really have no use for Dark Projects (until something changes) so other than selling them, I can easily chuck whatever I make into the guild bank. Credits...so far I'm just building up for some pricey armor sets and after that once I rebuild my credits nest egg, I can throw some credits to the guild. As far as Conquest goes, reading over the events, the only ones I know I'll be able to contribute decently to is the crafting ones, so that leaves me the Trade Emporium and Titans of Industry. Equally while I know these numbers are for the Imperial guild, I can also see what I can throw for the Republic guild too.

Republic guild ship is completely locked. We just bought it to have a ship so we could look for pug raids while chilling out. Not worth even attempting to unlock it. Credits are fine since we're not raiding so no one can take credits out of the vault. Now, something we DO need is a few people with a strong desire to decorate. Despite our ship being halfway unlocked there are very few rooms "seriously" decorated. Is there anyone who is willing to work on that? Not just throwing crap down, but actually putting effort into it?

For the ship--is it possible to add crew skill trainers to it, or are those not available/prohibitively expensive? Doing that would go one step further to making the guild ship a one-stop shop for all the miscellaneous housekeeping things you have to do on your characters, and save me the grueling effort of having to press the "go to fleet" button just down the hall

We've already hit the current 600 decoration limit with what we were doing on the crew deck so unless we cut back elsewhere it'll have to do for now. I bought a bunch more decorations and got most of the Sith office done down there at least.

Hey DrunkenGarbageCan, someone on Reddit was saying that Tanks should be using Lethal Mods now, because anything above ~1500 defense is completely wasted and the increased DPS from added power is far more valuable than wasted defense. That seems very hokey to me, but I haven't endgame mathed much. The main stat guy on the official forums doesn't seem to agree, but a few people chimed in and agreed. What do you think?

Man I haven't Tanked anything since 3.0. If this is PvP I wouldn't use any Tank mods/enhancements except in your shield, use high endurance DPS mods/enhancements and Tank armorings. If this is PvE I'd say you're worried about a very distant point and are basically talking about doing more damage vs taking more damage which would be a question for your raid leader and/or healers. Doing more damage may be moot if the healers are using more GCD's to keep you alive and thus lowering their off-DPS for example. If this isn't a formal setting I'd try the DPS mods and make sure you've got mechanics/DCD use down. If you feel squishy add in Tank mods until you don't.

When and if you do do the weapon designer, I'd love it if you could let it look like commandos are using a blaster rifle instead of their normal weapon. I like commando but I think the assault cannons look dumb. Would also be cool if you could use a single blaster on Gunslingers and Mercs but I imagine there could be problems with missing animations for that.

I think I've told you before, but you can pretty safely use a blaster rifle on a Commando and not take TOO big of a hit depending on the spec you're running. Snipers can actually do all of their rotation with just a rifle if you prefer, just take a minor damage hit.

Oh I know, and I totally played my commando that way when I leveled one and never had a problem. But if you show up to a raid or a PVP match or something like that, you're gonna get laughed out, and I'm far too delicate for that kind of thing I tried to see if I could set up my merc to play with a single pistol instead of two, but it looks like mercs can't wield generators, so I'd have to do it with the offhand slot completely empty, which would be way too much of a chore.

Every class is viable in most of the raids, so you'll be best off playing a class you enjoy. If you're planning on joining a hardcore, nightmare raiding group then Deception Assassin, Snipers and Mercs are the flavors of the month. This could always change (and likely will as assassin is bugged right now, gaining double benefits from their charge)

Many people complained that the game has massive ability bloat, so they went through and removed moves from classes that weren't meant to be used in that spec, Generally moves that were granted to the base class but were only meant to be used in one Advanced Class - Examples are Cover for Smugglers/Operatives, Rocket Punch/Stockstrike for Mercenaries/Commandos, Shiv/Blaster Whip for Snipers/Gunslingers, Flamethrower from Mercenaries/Commandos, etc. So sadly this means that those of us that liked to do stylish finishes occasionally with a Rocket Uppercut or a Stab don't get to do that anymore.
