Not getting a security key. One more thing that can go wrong when trying to log in and play. Dont need the hassle.

Totally missing the point with a security measure like this. keep the device off the pc or it too can get compromised along with your pc when you managed to get a trojan or similar.
Point with security is to block holes, not open new ones.

I see you live in england btw, which is eu. You cant get that keyfob either, but gotta rely on a smartphone. Its only available to people in the US/canada.

For the record I dont give a **** about the sec vendor commodities, Id get the keyfob for its purpose - security.

If they get a keylogger on your machine, you have bigger problems to worry about than getting your account hacked.

A reoccurring complaint is the travel time, enough so that the Q and A addressed it. Saying it shouldn't be much of an issue because some people can access a shortcut is a bit fallacious. And this is coming from someone who has an iPhone and the app.

Lmao.... I swear some people have real issues, getting so mad over nothing. You DO have a fleet pass in your general skills, if that's on cooldown, walk ur lazy complaining ***** to the star port, it's not like ur restricted from going back to
The fleet

We need more reasonable people like you playing games.

Shouldn't a fit for purpose travel system be part of an MMO that someone is paying a subcription for?
Travel system is functional. Just because you don't like it doesn't make it suddenly nonfunctional. Whether or not improvements can be made to said travel system also does not make it nonfunctional.

The quote mentioned they are looking into an alternative mode of transport. Nowhere do they talk about the quality of the travel system nor do they call it an improvement.
They don't think an improvement (quick travel to ship) is needed because of Fleet Pass, yet Fleet Pass isn't available to everyone.

If they didn't think it was an improvement why would the mention that those with Fleet Pass don't need it?

Yes I agree it is functional, I've never said it was non-functional (why would I?), however I don't agree that it is fit for purpose or anything like "good" (and seemingly neither do Bioware), the two are very different things.


I also agree with them that it is much improved WITH access to Fleet Pass, my issue is that everyone doesn't have access to the Fleet Pass.
Real Star Wars space combat please, not Star Wars Fox! Maybe some PvP and flight too?
