Random Dark Side Points?

Not that I really care, but with my 5oish something sent with around 400 in biochem rn, I have about 1K in DS points from crafting missions.

 

I have my counter set to LS, so could this just be a glitch?

Crafting skills don't have missions.

 

Gathering skills (Scavenging, Bioanalysis, Archaeology and Slicing) give only "alignment toggle" colour points for their missions.

 

("colour": "dark" or "light")

 

Mission skills, mostly, give only "alignment toggle" colour points, just like gathering skills.

 

The exception to the above is the mission skill "Diplomacy". This gives its own points AND the alignment toggle points, and each mission in the list has its own colour. Read the mission description, and you'll get a fairly reliable hint as to the mission's colour. If the mission involves saving people, escorting them to safety, and similar, it's probably "light". If it involves lying, cheating, stealing, or killing, it's probably "dark".

 

A more reliable indicator is to point the mouse cursor at the alignment symbol on the mission description. You'll get a tooltip that shows exactly how many points of each colour you'll get on an "ordinary" success.

 

Be aware that if it gives both colours, you actually get *both* colours, not the difference.

 

And of course Diplomacy is the recommended mission skill for … Biochemistry.

 

EDIT: it occurs to me that I left off a piece. Don't fuss too much about those dark points. When you reach 100K light points, any further light points you earn will be used to cancel (on a one for one basis) any dark points you have instead of increasing your light point total beyond 100K. Once you reach 100K light and zero dark, further light points will do nothing.
