I'll cut to the chase, is there a command I can use to get power cores or advance in the mission?
You can get two from the central zone maintenance unit when he explains how to reactivate L5-65.
He did.
You can get one power core from Industrial Zone maintenance droid if you got parts for him (Manufacturing Recourses side-quest). If you didn't do that quest, you'll still get power cores if you didn't kill any other droids.
Basically told me to f*ck off, didn't give me anything.
One can be found in the loading zone. (Try looking in containers.)
For the life of me, can't find any containers in that zone. (It's the one with the Ebon, right?)
One can be found on a Sith's body, near the Environmental Zone's entrance.
Only had a lightsaber, tried reloading 4 times. Shows as if I could select the sith, but doing so does nothing.
One is dropped by one of the droids you kill in the Environmental Zone.
Didn't get anything like a power core, ran through the zone two times after beating it.
If you kill Kaah, you get a power core from his body, too.
Didn't kill him.
