So, why were the fleets chosen again?

They should make Makeb the new general hub. The fleets stink.

What difference does it make? It makes zero difference what the main hub is. There is nothing on coruscant that says "here is where the players belong".


As it stands now, most FPs and OPs launch from the fleet so that is where the main hub of players should be.

Its not like the game is dying because Coruscant isn't the master planet. No one quit who said "oh Gosh Darnit, I would keep playing if Coruscant was the main player hub". If anything the game is doing better than its ever done before (not counting subs bought at launch).

I keep seeing this and I'm baffled how you guys come to that conclusion. In WoW, the capital cities and main hubs for each faction are Stormwind and Orgrimmar. Both are in low level zones where new characters have to quest a lot before leveling out and going someplace else.

There is zero issue with level 90 toons causing trouble for low level characters. Even on PvP servers, these zones are faction specific territory, which means lowbies are not flagged and are safe from being griefed.

So, I just don't get where you guys are getting this from.

I have to admit, I really don't like Fleet - on either faction.

Having a hub in space is actually a cool idea. It just doesn't work! If Fleet was more like Cloud City that would be very cool - right now it's just boring.

I do appreciate that the load times are less and I do appreciate that you can get around it easily (as it's basically a wheel with spokes). But it's just not an enjoyable place to spend time and a MMO social hub should be.

Galaxy wide chat or, at he very least, level 50+ chat would solve a lot of this. If I could listen/talk only to those seeking end game functions while I go wherever and do whatever, that would be incredible.

Yes that's an elegant solution. Why isn't there an "official" 50 chat channel? Yeah, I know people can make custom channels, but a lot of players don't even know how to use them, lol...

hmmm i know someone who quite the game and one of the reasons is the fleet as a Hub, it wasn't a main reason but still one of them.

an yeah it makes a BIG different, we saw, heared and dreamed if playing in Corucsant from a long time and as they announced the release the first thing we thought of is Corucsant, so why would we choose the fleet instead of Corucsant? it doesn't make a difference for you but it does for at least 7 person whom i talked to and met in game and other games.

This seems like a very good idea. Maybe in future bioware will move all the daily stations to the capital world as well. The fleet does feel kinda boring to be on after a while.

It's all about the LOAD TIMES, people! You all seem to be forgetting that. When you are in fleet, it takes less time to load up a FP or Warzone or instance.

Not only that, but load times and lag would be horrendous. even worse then at fleet.

Sometimes people do not think through their opinions beyond, "I would like".
