Thank you for the info, although I am frustrated at missing out on weeks of progress. By 'exiting space,' I guess that means I need to just hit escape to leave space combat after completion, and then accept rewards once I am returned to normal game?
Once again, thanks for the very quick reply. I know a ton of players don't enjoy it, but it's part of the character I'm playing, and I wanted to shoot for the title/gear. Hopefully that will get fixed.
