Every time I've done an invasion, I either immediately die to At-St walkers, or I never even find any enemy players before the time runs out. It's the same reason I don't like playing Gambit or any PVP-- I'm just not very good at it. But can we get the red crystal to drop just by initiating the invasion? The comments in this thread make it seem like we don't actually have to win or get any kills to get it to drop.
