Thanks for the post jjoren! We're not able to reproduce this on our end, do you remember when this started happening?

 

Only on my Republic Scoundrel, the rocket boost automatically engages whenever I log in or go to my Stronghold, and I have to keep re summoning my companion.

Thanks for the post jjoren! We're not able to reproduce this on our end, do you remember when this started happening?

 

It started when I was able to summon mounts. Level 10? I just tested it on Valso Salso level 38 scoundrel by using "priority transport personal starship" in the "M" map section, and the "rocket boost" is engaged when I first appear on my personal starship. I left the starship, and flew down to a planet and when I arrived on the planet the "rocket boost" was engaged again. So far "fast travel" doesn't affect it.

This same issue happens for me, but only on my republic trooper (vanguard).

 

The issue began when I choose to switch discipline from Plasma tech to Shield Tech\Shield Specialist around level 52. The moment I confirmed the discipline switch on the confirmation screen, the rocket boots engaged - And from that moment on, whenever there is a loading screen / transition, if the rocket boost isn't on cooldown, they will engage.

 

Trying to figure out how this happened myself, I later discovered that Rocket Boost had become enabled / included with the Legacy Random Mount icon. By using the "Deselect All" it was no longer included with the mount icon. But this seems to be its own separate issue.

 

Maybe some of this info can help.

I had the "Legacy Random Mount" issue on another character, and I did what you did. I "Deselect All" and that fixed the issue on that toon, but this is different for some reason. It's not selected as a favorite.

Here is one post from 2015 in the bug section of posts, so this has been going on for a while.

 

I know this seems weird, but lately on just 1 specific character my Rocket Boost ability has been getting automatically activated and put on cooldown while in the loading screen from initially logging in or changing zones. This is not happening on any of my other characters and I even tried taking the ability off of my hotbar to no avail.

 

Has anyone else had this issue as well or am I just crazy?

My (failing) memory believes I remember something else (other than the "deselect all" above) that can cause this. Do you perhaps have this skill in the first quickslot space? (The one you would typically depress "1" to activate?) If you do, try moving it elsewhere.

Yes, Started happening to me recently. None of the proposed solutions involving the Favorite Mount function make a difference. I'm not even using Favorite Mount. Strange that this bug has been in the game for so long without being fixed.

 

A side-effect of this bug is when you enter a Space mission your character activates rocket boost and you can see your character standing on/in your starship during the mission. Odd.

They can't seem to replicate it on their end for some reason. They even used my character and couldn't get it to act up.

I looked up posts from 2015 with people having problems with this. It's very puzzling.

 

which is amusing because all my characters are again doing it randomly when changing instances.... really annoying to get an FP in progress, and have to run like a noob waiting for it to come back off cooldown

That must be frustrating. We have a lot of smart people on the forum. Hopefully someone will figure this out.

I've been thinking about this for awhile, and I now think that this problem started happening when I first created my Republic Scoundrel. Does anyone else notice when it started happening to you?

I had this bug but resolved it.

 

Two of my chars activated rocket boost when I log on the other 8 or so did not. I logged on one that had the issue, and cleared all my fav mounts and removed the random mount from bar then logged out.

 

Logged back in and no auto rocket boost. This one char fixed all my char that had the issue.

 

Set all my fav mounts and added the random mount back to bar and all my chars were still fixed.

 

It seems the server gets some thing saved server side cross linked maybe.

Just tried that, and it didn't work. :( Thanks though.

Yep mine broke again, and I cannot get it to go away. I do notice that every char I have with no issue are ones that have the rocket boost with a redish selected fav that you cannot click. All the ones that I have cleared with clear all fav are now broken.

 

I have deleted the entire settings folder and let it recreate but it still knows where my buttons are on a char so it must be saved server side along with this other setting that it jacked up.

My powertech, and only my powertech, has had this issue for almost two years now. Started sometime in 2018. Left the game last July, just came back, and it's been a running issue every time I've logged into him/phased in somewhere.
