I never minded it much though, made it more immersive even if it wasn't 100% necessary. Not that I necessarily want that style travel again, but kids these days are spoiled and don't even realize it. I would rather have some travel than just open the map, click a location and be there instantly... that's just not fun. P.S. And someone mentioned EVE... that game is just one big punishment that people pay to experience... I don't get it... I seriously felt like I was getting kicked in the groin every time I logged on. This game is a picnic... I never got into EQ but if the boat travel was anything like it was in WoW, you actually got to interact with other players. Especially on a PvP server. In EVE, while traveling was slow and tedious, the danger of being attacked was also there which added to the excitement. I always used to get a bit jittery when approaching a gate in EVE, especially in low sec space. Interplanetary travel in SWTOR is a solo, uneventful run through a bunch of instances.

I really like the current system of travel, I am glad it works the way it does as opposed to insta-porting everywhere. Thanks Bioware!

I'd rather save 5 minutes of travel time even if it means I have to click on two elevator controls or airlocks. But hey some folks claim that a travel system you can AFK out and make a sandwich is better than actually playing the game.

Says the guy who equated people wanting travel to be better to: -teleporation to anywhere you want to go -ability to instant level -auto gear (no need to run an instance, just select the drops you want) -anything that takes time

I was pointing out the faulty logic of "people don't have much time to play therefore travel needs to be sped up". Good try I guess.

Are you like hooked to a catheter or something while you play? Adult diapers maybe? Yes, I prefer longer travel times in exchange for the ability to AFK during them.

I see no reason why you can't get into your captain's chair from any spot on a planet ("a shuttle has been deployed").

I would personally be fine if they removed the unecessary BLACK screens which are just there as a time-sink and audio, removed the air/tunnel things AND MADE THE LOADING SREENS IN THIS GAME ACCEPTABLE instead of the current 50+ second(on a SSD) ones for most planets after coruscant/Dromund Kaas

I like the system the way it is, I wish I could just hop in my ship and fly where I wanted though, like through space, by myself... random encounters, etc... but w/e... I'll take what I can get, I never played Galaxies and this is the best I'm gonna get for a Star Wars MMO...
