That the game abstract the time you see certain planets more than the hyperspace sequence, or the occasional space battle, does not mean you're automatically available at all times for a steady delivery of physical items, into a certain object in the ship.

I fail to see how compressing the time it takes to travel to the space station to pick up mail (which could be done by just clicking on the door to land, this simply avoids the loading screen) is any way less logical than allowing our companions to take your ship (while you're on it, possibly even doing a space battle) to simultaneously travel to 4 different corners of the galaxy to collect items for you.

Honestly, assuming that you docked to pick up the mail, and just never had to bother directly performing the action seems far MORE logical than allowing companions to take your ship to five different places at once while you're sitting on it. If you're ok with multiple weeks of travel to five different locations happening at the same time while you're sitting on the ship that your companions would have to borrow, why is picking up mail from the nearby space station without having to click on the door an issue?

I Agree that you should be able to access your mail from your ship, Most evenings I complete the space missions and then have to dock and go through the whole saga of through the dock to just see what the mail is... In the day and age that SW is set surley Electronic mail is possible from any location..

Companions magically disappear and go on a quest, only to return saying "MISSION FAILURE, I TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY" and then brings you great items despite the message.

So a magical mailbox isn't that bad. I want it.

You seem to indicate an action to pick up mail, circumventing the mailbox, and apply rules of positioning in order to pick it up. This is fine by me, by these criteria.

of course its plausable, you fool. You just choose it not to be. Like I said, lack of imagination. The way you insist to think inside the box is a perfect example.

I kinda feel sorry for you.
Who is more foolish? The fool, or the fool who follows?

I suspect the difference between physical and digital mail might elude some people. Did you get physical items in this manner in ME2? I haven't played it in a while, but strange if they allowed that.

By all means. If you insist on making everything black and white, the world will most likely comply. A credible explanation for mail delivery beyond faerytale adventures will however suffice in this context.

I agree to the OP. We do need a mailbox on the ship, as well as a galactic market

lot of the morons against it saying how do they get items to ship teleportation dont exist

tards never went to Belsavis yet?

You uncover Rakata teleport pods that you can use, alternate to the taxi, and is much faster, it instantly teleports you around. There is a tiny mini quest where the girl is happy she can now use rakata teleport technology to teleport goods and materials to other colonies.

so teleportation does exist in game.

all we need is a rakata teleporter on ship and good to go.


half the morons whining there isnt teleport must be low level.
