This is getting ridiculous! BioWare needs to ban large vehicles on the fleet. They are WAY too big for such a crowded area.

 

As more and more people get their hands on one, they seem feel the desire to show it off by sitting AFK right in the middle of the heavies traffic. It is extremely rude.

 

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.

The number 1 thing wrong with this game? LOL

I've got to agree - most tier 3 mounts aren't so bad, but the enormous landspeeders cause all sorts of grief, especially around mailboxes and the GTN, where I also notice a significant drop in fps, which I never have a problem with, even on Ilum.

Yep. I dismount when idle on fleet (e.g. browsing GTN) and only mount up when I actually have to move from one quadrant to another.

Trust me, you dont want to have to run around the fleet .. Its must another time sink... Would be the dumbest idea ever to ban vehicles ...

ok ban vehicles but give a a 100% run speed buff. small speeders are one thing. cars are another.

You're complaining about a 20-30 SECOND differential in a game you spend HOURS on... What were you saying was dumb?

I like this idea. It's not intrusive, gets the job done and it's an ability everyone has active on default anyway.

I'll admit to being one of the offenders. I have the large landboat from KP and it just absolutely covers the screen whenever I try to do anything.

 

I wouldn't suggest banning vehicles as the fix though, it's annoying enough not being able to use vehicles in other places to want that annoyance brought into fleet. I think the fix is to just stop making oversized vehicles. There's no real reason why the vehicle has to be big enough to seat 8 people, when there's only one character inside.

I'd rather that when you "mount up" it works as normal, except instead of seeing the mount your run speed is just increased to 110%

 

 

Tired of looking at people riding around in their dorky flying SUVs.

Well, there is that too, but public outrage at the discontinuation of a few speeders has been bad enough as is, and in all fairness members did work pretty hard for those speeders, so taking it off them isn't exactly an ideal solution from a PR perspective.

makes sense to me.

You sound jealous of them.

1000 credits OP can't afford a big speeder...

 

The game is American... American's love those big cars...

 

I saw a F650 or maybe 750 the other day... It was like a bus driving past...

totally ridiculous but uber-cool

You sound jealous of them.

 

Nah I have a couple of the big ones. I ride around in the Dark V speeder though just because it's a simple neat looking speeder.

Instead of banning, how about a toggle to see other people's speeder? There is never a reason for me to see what you are riding. I just don't care what you drive.

Nah I have a couple of the big ones.

 

Oh yeah? Giggidy...

 

But really...How about they let us ride speeders in space ports, stations and every frackin zone? That would make me happy.

 

If the space station gets a pedestrian only rule...fine.

I laughed too.

Real Americans ride motorcycles...

Standing alone on Ilum does not constitute 'never having a problem'. Try a 30 vs 30 or higher and say that

There's nothing preventing people from owning more than one vehicle and choosing to use a smaller one on the fleet. In fact, I wager just about everybody still has a lvl 25 flying lawnmower ability. Of course, the people who think they're extra cool due to sitting in a virtual barge won't use those so it's not a solution.... just saying.

I would, but the rest of the Republic are pansies... D:

Yes.. I agree.. The use of any speeder on the space station is an immersion breaker.. I don't recall anyone buzzing around on the Death Star with a speeder.. do you? This includes flashpoint ships as well.. YES, spend the extra 30 seconds running, it won't kill you.. Honestly..

dont worry, soon everyone will have everything they need on their personal ships and the fleet will be empty
