It's more or less the equivalent of a battle pass in other games. You don't need "anyone to play PvP with". Just queue for warzones and go crazy. The game will put you in an ad-hoc team. As for Heroics, you mostly don't need other players because the changes back in 4.0 (in 2015, how time flies when you're having ...) mean that they are mostly (except in very high-level ones) trivial to solo.

I've found that the ship won't move above the mouse *ever*, and it migrates naturally upwards to where the mouse is height-wise if I'm not pressing S to make it move down.

That does sound like a bug.

OK, but you didn't answer the question. Where is it installed?

It was always(1) part of the launcher, but only if you don't use Bitraider (the "streaming" downloader). It was a while back, 2018 or 2019 most likely, but definitely before a certain bat virus turned our world upside-down, when they updated the installer on the website to set up "SSN"(2) by default instead of Bitraider. (1) Well, perhaps not always, but for as long as I've been playing. Er. I started in March 2013... (2) Not a nuclear-powered attack submarine, but rather the "Solid State Networks" downloader, the one that isn't Bitraider.

I haven't looked at the Cartel Coin prices recently, but for a long time after the Master's Datacron came out, it cost the same as the start-at-high-level token, and advanced you to a sufficient level to be able to start KotFE immediately (it also gives you your origin story's ship, which has the console where you can pick up The Hunt. And of course, some people think that the origin story (from the level 1 starter world to the end of your first visit to Corellia and a little after) is the best part of the story, so they might question why you'd want to skip it anyway.

Thanks for coming back to let us know that it's working, and what fixed it.

Where is this 32-bit version installed? As far as I know, the game has been fully (and solely) 64-bit for a while now. (Since early 2023, in fact.)

Most people don't have that problem with the Steam launcher. I know that I don't.

It's the segment in Impside Manaan post-Onslaught, where you have to pilot a cargo droid to do something that I don't remember what it is. EDIT: and for some folks it bugs out and doesn't let them activate the droid mode.

It's worth remembering that according to the lore, the current so-called "Purebloods" aren't remotely pure-blooded.

If ever they add a new style (or two, one Force, one Tech), they'd more or less have to add a third style slot. The negativity if they didn't would be ... epic.

Don't you mean "Operative" rather than Concealment? And yes, they are, along with PT and Vanguard, but I suspect that @Jedi_Daviz means a "tech hitting stick" melee style, using Techblades or Techstaffs.

W doesn't do anything useful, since your ship moves *up* in the box at full rate even if you aren't pressing it. Do you bind Q/E to Turn Left/Right instead? If so, use them (so it's QSE rather than ASD). Of course, writing that sprained my brain, since I use ZQSD rather than WASD, seeing as how I have an AZERTY keyboard.

One thing that might help here if you're on WIndows 10/11 is to use the accessibility settings to enlarge the Windows mouse pointer - SWTOR obeys this setting(1) so you can make the crosshair easier to see. (1) Some other MMORPGs don't, notably GW2 which has a decent-sized pointer regardless, and ESO whose pointer is and remains tiny, no matter what Windows says.
