Fuel costs.. why??

What exactly is your point?????

I have 23 characters, all on one account, 18 on one server and 5 on another. I manage fine without having to come to the forums and complain about fuel costs or basic money management between characters.

Got multiple characters on one server.. fine. Keep some money on each.

As for complaining about gearing and such for so many characters.... really? Gear is dirt cheap in this game with the advent of cartel pack boxed gear going for cheap in most cases. You don't need to be moving all your money around everytime you login. Keep a couple hundred K credits on each character and the rest on a GTN mule. Use the mule to do all gear gathering and shopping for other characters. Mods are where the cost is and frankly.... level up crafting on a couple characters to cover your basic mod needs and gathering on all the rest and you are good to go. Rocket science this is not.

I just got this image of some newbie player with no money, spending all his credits on class training on Fleet.

Empty inventory and empty cargo hold and that's his first character...

And he can't leave Fleet because he can't pay the traveling cost and he's forced to sell his armor to some random vendor in order to pay for gas...

Option 1: Take the shuttle back to your starter planet. Kill a bunch of mobs, sell their loot -> money for the bus
Option 2: Run into Black Talon or Esseles, which ever is applicable to your faction, kill all the mobs untill the first boss -> money for the bus

You really have to insist on being stupid to get stranded about anywhere. Like, taking a flight to Ilum as a lvl 15, buying as many medpacks as possible from the vendor, and then deleting every piece of inventory and equipment kind of stupid. Though that wouldn't matter for subscribers, they can simply use their fleetpass.

No big deal, I just don't understand why there's fuel costs.

The cost is so little it barely has any affect, and I don't think anybody has ever ran out of money due to travelling. It's extremely frustrating when I transfer my credits to another toon and forget to keep some credits back, then I try to travel and I cannot due to the aggravating fuel costs.

I'm not asking for a cost increase, but the travel costs are so low they aren't even worth having. Hell, even adding an option to pay some credits for a faster load (probably not possible but hey) would be reasonable.

Just my 2 cents.
merrrrrr

Off topic, but how do you get 18 toons on the same server? I thought the cap was 12 per server for subs?

You increase the cap with a cartel market item, server character slot or something. It adds 1 slot to every server. Not sure what the max is but 18 should easily be possible.
