They could've gotten an unbelievable amount of money out of me for GSF space barbie customizations by now, no mechanical changes necessary. That's the part boggling me here: GSF could easily be a gold mine for a company with almost zero effort, and yet here we are.

Helpful info, thanks for the links! Though, I'm still struggling to figure out how to improve beyond all the guides and such.

To get ahead of a few things here: I was playing SWTOR in the beta, and over the years since. There are essentially no game modes or mechanics I don't at least fundamentally understand. There are mechanics that are just plain old disagreeable (I detest the CC/resolve system, but I get how/why it works the way it does), but then there's ones that are actively bad. In specific: GSF "contribution" penalties. To take an example, I was having a particularly bad match earlier today, couldn't quite land shots or get situated anywhere that was helpful. Not top of my game, clearly, but still a "me" problem. But then that "you're not contributing" message popped up. I've seen it before, it's whatever. But, from that point on, I had even heavier pressure to do something, ANYTHING that "contributed" to the match, and it just plain couldn't be done. I'd get picked off at spawn without landing any hits, I'd get out-flown and killed at objectives without landing any hits, I just could not outplay the people in that match. Then a fun new message, telling me I had 5 seconds to hit an objective or target before I got booted. I was dead, between spawns, when this happened. I'm sure you can figure out what followed: kicked, and locked out. How am I supposed to improve if I can't even play? I've spent literal years poring over guides, tips, build suggestions, strategy suggestions, and I just plain cannot figure out how anyone is this good at this game mode. I know it's less twitch and more strategy, the mechanics aren't a mystery in and of themselves. But they just don't "click" in my head for some reason, and it's just intensely frustrating. I'd have probably saved this rant and hopped in a GSF discord, but all the ones posted across this forum are dead. So, what else can I do? I don't want to keep feeding people who've somehow mastered a game mode I still struggle with, and I certainly can't improve if the game keeps kicking/locking me out of it. I'm at my wits end here.

6 years later, this bug still exists. https://imgur.com/a/2e5kdvn

I thought as much, but it's been nothing but a headache every time I do it this way. :/

Hate to necro this, but it seems to be happening again.

Yea, seems like. The adds also present a problem just from chipping away, but they're easy enough to dispose of if I'm paying attention. Those elites though, ugh. Finally got through it by respeccing madness out of lightning, became weirdly easy after that. Voss SF down, only 5 more to go.

I don't get this heroic at all. Sometimes, I'll be fighting the pair of elites with the small group spawn, and just wreck them. Sometimes, they 3-shot me no matter what I've got up. It makes no sense. EDIT: Seems lightning sorcs suffer in this one, but I switched to madness, and it became almost hilariously easy. *shrug* "Balance" lol

Also having this issue. Surprised it hasn't been resolved yet.

Not terribly worried about the room unlocks, just the ship itself.

Unfortunately I'm not. :/

Did some basic math, and determined it would take me approximately 2 straight months of running dailies to get a ship for my guild. Is there a less painful way of going about this? 50 million credits isn't easy to come by, and selling packs and such on the GTN hasn't been worth it at all for the last couple of months.

Man, if I'd known about this sooner, I could've finally gotten a guild ship. I'd even pay real money for that thing. 50mil is a touch difficult for two people to get.
