I can't even begin to describe how hilarious it is to read your posts and how utterly enraged you seem because someone says "I don't like X in this game, here's why...".

You need to calm down, take a breather and consider learning how to use proper punctuation and formulate an argument that doesn't revolve around "NUH-UH".

I counted how many loadscreens there are just to switch planets because it was related to the topic at hand. It's a big issue in my opinion because it breaks flow, it breaks immersion (of which there is little anyway).

I can even suggest alternatives that would cut-down the amount of loadscreens. Here goes:

When you interact with the door that leads to your hangar you instantly go inside your ship(1) you interact with your star map and pick a planet (2) you arrive at the starport of that planet.

Oh look, only 2 loadscreens. I wouldn't mind accepting a job as a level designer Bioware *wink, wink*

actually, it used to take about 10s to load. now I wait around 30s. So yes, call me spoiled, but I don't build expensive gaming rigs to run sub-performance games.

I'm not enraged. I'm just on my laptop watching a playoff game. Tebow's takin' it to 'em. I don't get how you think I am enraged. Or are you the type of guy if anyone says something you say "umad?" My punctuation? Really? Come on man.

I haven't said umad so far, but you seem quite proficient at not responding to the argument and resorting to ad hominems.

Game has a lot of loadscreens. Fact.
You even get a loadscreen every time you alt-tab back into the game. What good justification is there for this?

Don't let your fanboyism blind you.

When did I EVER try to justify the amount of load screens or deny their existence? I didn't say you said "umad" did I? But you clearly said I was getting enraged same thing just a different way of saying it. You say I resort to ad hominems yet you say I'm getting enraged, that I'm a fan boy, AND criticize my punctuation. Re-read my thread topic it says "load times" not the amount of load screens.

Uninformed people also call framerate drops "lag".
When this happens people like to employ a little something called "reading comprehension". You'll get there eventually.

You are a massive hypocrite.

Like I said load times does not equal # of load screens. If you interpreted it that way not my problem.

But, hey internet tough guy, scholar, and all around champion of the universe thanks for your rousing impeccable arguments. I'm sure we're all better off reading what you had to type.

I think you have missed the point, it is the countless number of load screens you have to go through to get anywhere that some are complaining about. Not actual load times.
Have they fixed Ability Delay?
