Vehicles on the fleet: out of hand!

This is getting ridiculous! BioWare needs to ban large vehicles on the fleet. They are WAY too big for such a crowded area.

As more and more people get their hands on one, they seem feel the desire to show it off by sitting AFK right in the middle of the heavies traffic. It is extremely rude.

It is getting harder and harder to target the mailbox, the locker, the GTN with all of these attention-deprived logging the screen!

I understand that a faster travel is nice to have on the fleet, but the use of these huge vehicles is flat out obnoxious.

I've got to agree - most tier 3 mounts aren't so bad, but the enormous landspeeders cause all sorts of grief, especially around mailboxes and the GTN, where I also notice a significant drop in fps, which I never have a problem with, even on Ilum.

Yep. I dismount when idle on fleet (e.g. browsing GTN) and only mount up when I actually have to move from one quadrant to another.

ok ban vehicles but give a a 100% run speed buff. small speeders are one thing. cars are another.

You're complaining about a 20-30 SECOND differential in a game you spend HOURS on... What were you saying was dumb?
I hate violence. I'm just really, really prepared for Peace.

I like this idea. It's not intrusive, gets the job done and it's an ability everyone has active on default anyway.

I'll admit to being one of the offenders. I have the large landboat from KP and it just absolutely covers the screen whenever I try to do anything.

I wouldn't suggest banning vehicles as the fix though, it's annoying enough not being able to use vehicles in other places to want that annoyance brought into fleet. I think the fix is to just stop making oversized vehicles. There's no real reason why the vehicle has to be big enough to seat 8 people, when there's only one character inside.

I'd rather that when you "mount up" it works as normal, except instead of seeing the mount your run speed is just increased to 110%


Tired of looking at people riding around in their dorky flying SUVs.
