I always laugh when people say "immersion". Immersion is 5 loading screens between where you are and where you want to go?

There should be one loading screen and one flight path to get anywhere you want in the game, provided you have been there before.

How do you intend on feeling immersion without loading screens hmm? Sometimes to REALLY feel immersed I like to stand still for a while even after the load is completed.

Why not make everyone teleport and fly everywhere? Why cannot I run 300 mph? Stop crying about little details and enjoy the video game. Then remove the Quick Travel possibilty as well, How on earth (or any other planet) is it even possible to get a shuttle dispatched in the deepest of caverns or on sublevel 14 of an underground structure? The stupid instanced spaceship/corridor/orbital station crap is just poor design.

Are the orbital stations there for some future purpose? Maybe there will be some sort of event that takes place, like the station gets attacked and an "Orbital Boss" appears... or maybe it could be a pvp aspect where Imperial and Republic players will have open windows in which they can assault Orbital Stations? That would actually be interesting. Maybe they'll impliment something in the future.

Pretty much no :P You're just fishing for a reason for their pointless existence other than an additional time sink.

If that's the case, please put restrooms and restaurants in the orbital space stations just to add to the "immersion", cause nothing says "immersion" like trying to make it to a restroom before your bladder or bowels explode...Which btw is exactly how I feel about the whole "immersion" cop out...Yeah, it's a load of crap.

Can you honestly back the way they implemented these things? It's ABSOLUTELY uncalled for. Immersion... like you don't just run right through the gosh darned things.
