kretar Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 It would make cross planet travel much less of a headache. Also, how about letting us use the speeder in the spaceport. Why can't we already, some sort of Spaceport Law? Even better, put a speeder flight path outside our hangars. Spaceports would logically have local transport (think taxis outside airports).

swarlesbarkley Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Completely agree. Travel is a pain in the ***. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haXwk Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Walking to and from hangars is probably one of the slowest parts of the entire game. I completely agree with OP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xdvesper Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 I suspect this was originally intended, the ships I've visited all have a teleporter pad... Beam me up, Scotty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chosenxeno Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Hmm just said something similar in another thread. Yea there needs to be away to port directly to your Ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nilssen Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 I agree. And something has to be done with the Orbital Stations and the airlocks aswell. Make them optional I say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nepumuk Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 (edited) Something to improve travel between ship and planet would be nice. Otherwise, those orbital loading station screens will surely drive me bonkers. Maybe just removing those air loading lock screens of doom would be a step in the right direction? For example, traveling from Ilum to Belsavis looks like this: Ilum - quick travel or taxi, click shuttle door > loading screenrun through orbital station, click airlock lift button > loading screenrun through airlock, click ship entrance > loading screen > departure movie > loading screeninside ship - use galaxy map, click ship exit > arrival movie > loading screenrun through airlock, click lift button > loading screenrun through orbital station, click shuttle door > loading screenBelsavis I actually ran it twice, to make sure I am writing this down correctly. Should I be glad that the number of loading screens during this travel sequence is still in single digits?

Bielduwyn Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Actually, there are no loading screens between the hangar, docking bay/orbital station and the actual planet, those are merely fade to blacks for effect rather than actual loading screens... kind of a technicality I know. But anyway, I am all for this suggestion, I might also like a galactic bind point that we can set as our "home", so that you can travel there from anywhere in the galaxy, as an RPer I need to be on (say) Tython quite often, but if I'm in the middle of a quest area the journey can take quite a while, so maybe an item that lets us return to one point set as "home" would be handy, it can even have a six hour cooldown for all I care.

No matter if the screen is black, or has a picture with a progress bar, I experience both as loading screens.

Totally agree, its really a pain to have to run all the way to the ship if for example you want to do your daily missions and then run all the way back to the planet to continue what you were doing or just to get back to the cantina before logging off to get rested xp. So adding to the OP's suggestion as i think it is related, i would suggest that the ship should be a resting place also, it's really ridiculous that its not already.

Meddyck Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 /signed It would be awesome to skip the space port, orbital station, airlock steps and go right to my ship. Adding a second Emergency Pass that goes to your ship would be nice too with maybe a one hour cooldown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
