The Unofficial Star Wars the Old Republic Strategy Guide
Your shield protects your hull and will
automatically regenerate if you're not
shooting. Pressing the space bar will cause
you to do a barrel roll, which avoids most
types of damage, useful for when many
things are attacking you at once.
From most planets you can purchase
ship upgrades for credits. At first they
aren't required to beat the space missions
but by the mid 30s you'll find that the
missions are too difficult to complete with
your basic ship. You can improve the
following items:
Item Effect
Shield Booster Boost shield
regeneration rate
Capacitor Increase blaster
damage
Beam Generator Increase rate of fire
and shield strength
Armor Plating Increase ship armor
Torpedo Tube Increase amount of
torpedoes
Fleet Commendations can be used to
purchase random crates from a vendor on
your faction's space station. These are the
same random crates found on all
commendation vendors and do not
necessarily include ship upgrade
components.
Missions
There are 3 types of space missions.
The first is an escort mission where you
must escort a target to the end of the
mission and both of you must survive. In
nearly all variances of this mission you will
need to shoot down many ships along the
path that are attacking the other ship and
the damage you receive is from turrets
along the path. A lot of barrel rolls and
continual fire from your cannons should get
you through these missions.
The second type is to destroy a space
station, or more specifically certain
elements of the station. After a certain
point you'll continually loop around the
station and be presented with multiple
targets to hit. Missiles usually work best on
these targets since they are both hard to
hit and have a fair amount of hit points as
well. All the while you'll have ships and
turrets firing at you. Damage is near
constant in these missions and while you're
not actively firing at the station it's a good
idea to stop shooting and just barrel roll to
regain your depleting shields.
The final type of mission is a survival
mission. You'll have a goal of destroying a
certain amount of targets but the point is to
survive for a given amount of time. Since
