Vehicles on Fleet need to end.

Far too often some slick player thinks it's funny to park his vehicle in the view path of a terminal. Since players won't be considerate of other players, I say prohibit vehicle travel on fleet all together. Since players want to act like children and purposely irritate other players, then the means to irritate must be removed. Here is a screen shot of the type thing that happens every single day. This is just one small example of how people deliberately annoy others on fleet.

These players were asked to move or turn off their vehicles because it obstructs people's ability to interact with the terminal. The response given was, "That's the point, rofl"

If they want to act like kids, then I say remove the ability all together on fleet. This has got to be the number one issue on fleet with all servers. This behavior needs to end.

Removing might go a bit too far but how about making the area around the GTN terminals a non vehicle area because frankly it annoys me as well.

And those players are really just trolling...not sure if its against the rules though.

You cannot block any vendor, kiosk, mailbox, or cargo hold with a vehicle in this game. This is because speeders float and all interactable objects go all the way to the ground, and many are also taller then even the largest speeders.

I agree that vehicles on the fleet are an utter nuisance, especially around the GTN terminals and mailboxes. Sure, you can still click on them, but it is annoying having your screen suddenly filled up with one of those huge speeders or having one parked on your character. They are an eyesore and look ridiculously out of place.

However, some people don't like to spend time running on fleet so would probably put up a huge fuss if they were removed.

I think a good compromise would be to only allow the smaller level 25 ones (the segway/lawnmower looking ones). Everyone buys one for their first speeder, anyway. And if somehow someone manages not to, well, they can just suck it up and spend the whopping 8K (?) credits to acquire one if they insist on using a speeder on fleet.

I say no. I don't want to lose my ability to get around quicker because of a small number of idiots. I say instead they should have something such as WoW's Baby Spice that we can buy from a vendor and throw on the character to shrink them to a smaller size for 30 seconds or so.

Nothing has ever stopped me from clicking on anything, no matter how many players were around.

I am so happy for you....really. But this is not about you now is it? You were not there, now where you?

I have always been able to click on them myself...until now. Just because you have always found a way, does not mean you will always be able to find a way. This time, there was no way to do so. This is why I am *just now* writing a post about it. It was not a problem previously...it is now.

I'd be okay with not allowing the big vehicles to be called on the fleet or space stations. But what needs to happen here is reporting the offending players for griefing. I have seen the occasional jumbo vehicle on top of a mailbox but I have never seen anyone purposefully blocking a terminal before and refusing to move. I don't think the problem is widespread enough to justify banning vehicles altogether?
