Can we please stop spawning in a non-recall area when the game forgets we were home?

Back on point, it is pretty ridiculous that there are areas in the game that disallow quick travel. I can't imagine what purpose they possibly serve, and they need to be gotten rid of.
That particular area is probably a safety net for new players. They arrive there coming from their origin world. If they walk the proscribed path, they will walk straight into important quest-givers. If they were to quick-travel, they'd miss those quests and be lost.

I understand why it's not eligible for quick-travel and don't disagree with the design decision. It would just be nice if the default location for "I can't figure out where to put you" was somewhere else on Fleet that was QT enabled.

If it's your first time there, when you actually need those quests, then you can't QT anyway because you won't have any QT points opened up.

This is my experience as well. All of my characters are on Tatooine and I have never found them to be at that aforementioned fleet shuttle when logging back in, and I log out from my stronghold 99% of the time. I do, however, invariably get this issue when trying to "return to previous location" from flashpoints if my previous location was my stronghold.

This is the crux of the matter. Ideally I'd like to see them fix the actual bug, but if nothing else I'd like to see it spawn us in the same location as the emergency fleet pass when it gets confused.

I think the fleet station QT point is automatic, just like the initial landing QT points on every planet (except Quesh for some reason). I'd have to roll a new character to verify that though. The fleet ship QT points need to be discovered.

No kind of QT/fleet transport works from inside spaceports/shuttle bays.

Duh.

In his OP, DarthTHC did not say he wound up in the newbie shuttle hanger. If that's what he meant, then that's what he should have said.

Clear communication works wonders, even newbs know that.

That is not even close to the point. The point is the bug DarthTHC claims to have experienced where his character logs out in a stronghold and logs in in the newbie shuttle hanger (apparently, once we read between the lines).

It's extremely obvious what he meant. When the bug occurs, he is placed in an area where he cannot get back to his stronghold without driving to an elevator first. That's almost exactly what he said. If one cannot connect the dots between that statement and the fact that the entrance areas to planet/fleet are in QT-lockdown, one should probably refrain from posting. My suggestion is a solution to the issue, which makes it perfectly on point.

Fail troll is fail.

Have you played the game? How can you not understand the underlined part of my OP? Who is it, exactly, that can't admit when they're wrong?

I don't have Tat unlocked (I don't like it and at an off chance, we get another stronghold in a location more to my taste, I'd rather not waste credits on it, only to deactivate it), but I have noticed that it usually happens with Nar Shaddaa, when logging back in.

travel back to previous after flashpoint landing you in arrivals area, happens with every stronghold though :/

At this point, still you. If you meant the hangar bay, you could have said "hangar bay." "the area that newbs fresh off their origin worlds land" could mean the place where they get off the elevator, which is what I took it to mean. Clearly that is not what you meant.

Again, if you meant the hangar bay, why would you not use the words "hangar" ... "bay?" What is clear is that you are one of those people whose thought process goes like this: "My thinking is perfectly clear to me. Therefore, no one else could possibly misunderstand what I mean."
