Yes, 100% Agreed!!!

I don't like seeing mounts in buildings at all... perhaps they could offer something more appropriate for inside buildings? (maybe like a Segway?)

"Hey is that a speeder in your pocket, or are you just glad to see me?"

While on the topic of mounts, I would also like to see my "Garage" of mounts being tied to my ship or a suitable planet-side location. I don't really like being able to "Summon" my mount from any location. After driving a mount away from ship, I'd also like to leave it parked at a location to come back to for the return trip.

Yes, we Americans do like big vehicles... but we also park them outside when we visit the mall.

i never understood why they were even in the game.

then again i think the actual speed of 'speeders' is a larger complaint to me. the increase of using a speeder over sprint is not large enough and makes speeders seem silly.

i remember the first time i got on a speeder and was like 'yay i wont be slow anymore' ... then i took off and was amazed at how i was barely gaining on someone using sprint right in front of me.

it made the speeder seem lame and broken.



if speeders are going to go that slow i think they should be limited to npc transit points and just give the characters a more powerful sprint when they level up.

would also solve the issue of obnoxious vehicles.

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.


They need to designate area's around venders, GTN, Mailboxes and quest kiosks as "indoor" areas some how. This way, you could drive through the area close to one (and get a message stating that you'll be dismounted if you stay), but if you sit there, it will auto dismount you as if you entered into a building.

This way, you could still ride around fleet, but you couldn't sit on top of a mailbox when people are trying to use it.

+1. That's a really clever solution.

The fleet should be a no speeder zone
I have a bad feeling about this

The vehicles generate noise, they obstruct your view, and it looks like a runaway road race at times. It's an atmosphere killer, and I'm not talking about pollution.

I do not want speeders on the fleet. It is a small area and in reality not needed. It is just as quick to run around the fleet as it is to use a speeder.

In space ports that is a different story having to run through coruscant space port loads of times is a pain and a time sink.

Compromise, make the fleet a no speeder zone and open up the space ports.

Those big speeders are just obnoxious and when you have a few of them rezzing around you at one time.. They cause lag.. With such a concentration of people at the Fleet, and half of them on speeders it's no wonder most lag is experienced there.

So please BioWare listen, get rid of speeders at the fleet.
