Are devs able to fix this mission?
There are a couple of what-the-hell? bugs in that mission. We've fixed them and... I think the fixes are in 1.1. So the mission should be not stupid-hard anymore.

1 in thread To the Devs regarding Freetrader experts [Discuss: Economy]
Argh. Right now the tooltip-generation code doesn't support automatically creating tooltips for consumables, which is a huge pain in the *** all around. It sucks for you, because you don't know what your consumables do; it sucks for us because we either have to do what we did with the repair consumables -- hand-write the tooltips and hope nobody tunes the item -- or just avoid creating anything more complex than '+5% reload!'.

In the short term, I'll take a look at making those particular tooltips more comprehensible. In the long term, I'm fighting to get some programmer time to let us do more with item tooltips.

Do you think that goods selling below production cost is a function of overproduction or a function of loot drops?

I can't solve the former -- nor would I want to -- but I can certainly solve the latter.

Prevents the target from usign any skills that require morale for 20 seconds (ie stops a Pirate from using repair skills, Desperation Fire 2, Rake, Overloaded Shot, All or nothign shot, etc etc.)
Reset timer 5 minutes
Thundering Broadside doesn't chain. After that 20 seconds of no morale, there's another 100 seconds where you cannot be affected by another Thundering Broadside stun.

Also, this sounds like the cargo can't be manually dumped in the combat instance.
Correct on both counts. You can't dump cargo if you have the In Combat effect, and if you offer a lower surrender they can still get cargo from you after rejecting it.

Basically, if you offer 100% and they say 'no', that's not an attempt to negotiate a better deal. That's a red flag -- no quarter will be given, they want a fight to the death. Up to that point, everyone can come to a friendly (more or less) agreement about surrendering; after that point, there's not really any reason to discuss it further.

I never changed mine; I'm not good at tactics. Yes, even against NPCs.

I do. I love them both. And SWG for that matter. I play all three games for very different reasons and enjoy them all.
