Dr Aphra Teir 1 is too difficult

I used to be the exact same way for the Malak Event, but (thank the heavens) I beat it last night. In hindsight, I think that the challenge of the events is good for the game. It keeps people engaged to push for their favorite toons, while also presenting a challenge that can't be (easily) paid through. A friend of mine had to transfer all of his SEE speed mods onto Hondo to beat it. Don't worry man, you'll get her soon enough.
