I think traveling to a planet from fleet is fine as is, although I dislike the hanger, if it wasn't there I think people would complain about not being able to see their ship.

People always complain about something, regardless of how you do it.

Like George W. Bush. He figured that out

As I said before, the majority of complaints could be curbed by doing a few things

-What I described above
-Enter your ship from fleet in the following way
~Activate the doors near the cantina in fleet
~Enter an area with the 4 hangers (4 zones) and you can simply walk to your ship (perhaps make the distance between zone entrance -> ship door as short as possible.

This not only shortens the fleet -> player ship travel, it also creates a new social "community" center where RPers and players can hang out.

I know that RPers would enjoy having a community area (Lack of a better term) in addition to the cantina's.

Oh. And while I'm at it.

Yeh I'm seeing it now.

you're either trolling or you genuinely believe what your spouting.

Not sure which is worse.

I'll bet you'd still be against getting rid of useless airlocks and stations even if they kept them in and just added an option upon leaving ship to go straight to the surface wouldn't you?

You couldn't be more transparent if you were a sheet of plain glass.
Whoha lotsa pages while I was 2 work today. Couldn't get on. Too busy.


So just because I had a logical statement about a possible reason why behavior could of been different 3000 years ago I'm a troll? Bravo. Great counter argument.

My dad method of thinking is vastly different to mine wen it comes to technology. If your boss wants you to come in to see you just to give you information he/she could of given you over the phone you deal with it. You are their peon!

If that doesn't solidify your friendship nothing will.

On my first character I had no issues with it. Then I made an alt and got terribly annoyed by it.

Get a faster computer. Thankfully Bioware didn't dumb down their game to cater to people who refuse to put money into their hobbies.

Time to spend some money on your hobbies!

have you seen the graphics of this game?

Bioware and EA totally toned down the graphics of the game, at the core levels of game design (More accurately level design) to cater to the casual PC user. So the game looks very good for someone with a bad computer, the downside with the way they did it is that the people with $200 graphics cards, $300 CPU's, and other nice PC parts, don't really get anything from their impressive hardware.

They have locked the texture quality at medium, and when they sent review copies of the game to companies, they had the high and very high textures unlocked.

So don't say Bioware didn't dumb down their game (Visually). They did, and I hope to god they unlock those textures.

Belsavis has Rakata Teleporters...

let us purchase a Rakata Teleporter on Belsavis for our ship


then we can call a crew member to teleport us off the planet when we are done.


problem solved with an in game method



Add the Belsavis Rakata Teleporters as ship equipment purchasable as a ship upgrade.

it would solve a lot of problems.

Actually they did. Like a lot. They also paid for a terrible beta engine. You can't blame this mess on people not wanting to spend money.

True they did disable a few things, and I am looking forward to hi-res textures as well, but they did not dumb down the graphics to the point that you can run it on a dinosaur of a computer like some other devs do to "appeal to the masses."
