considering with about 1 minute of moving, another minute of loading and you can get to any planet you want to, and quick travel to any place that you're bound to, that beats the heck out of flying somewhere for 5 minutes on a transport

Thats 7 loading screens!!!!! You know how much lag they could remove from the game if they made it from planet to ship to planet.

Alt+tab to check out some web sites to see if I could get some clues about how to play the game, then I hear the shuttle arriving so I alt+tab back into game, my crappy CP takes a while to load up... so by the time I have control again, the shuttle is just taking off A while later, once I had figured out the basics of the game, I joined a guild and was telling the guys in Guild Chat about the time I spent almost 2 hours doing that - miss shuttle, read about the game, miss shuttle, rinse repeat. One guy sent me a million credits because he said he wet himself laughing. We then spent a week ragging on him about his incontinence problem... it was that kind of Guild. Fun times
I am telling the truth, honestly! I am as honest as the day is long! Besides, I am a terrible liar, everyone can see when I am lying - my lips are moving. Like most other subs, I have a Referral Link. Clicking it gets you some stuff, and me some stuff too.

I've been on that side of the map before! or 'why can't I just jump past all those little pests to the end boss? I've been here before!' is of course also 'bad game design' wow your ability to exaggerate other peoples views is amazing! Does the idea of an option to skip the space stations/airlocks terrify you so much?

Not me, nor anyone else but you. I think it is you that needs the help with reading here (really you're coming out with nothing but utterly ridiculous strawman arguments that have nothing to do with what is being discussed). But not being "instant" doesn't mean therefore having daft annoying artefacts of once used story content bunging up the travel system every time you use it (and only actually being used the once for "story"). Annoying and pointless (once the story is done) artefacts shouldn't be in the space travel system (or at least should be avoidable if you choose to do so) as this is bad game design. And as I have mention is easily fixable.
Real Star Wars space combat please, not Star Wars Fox! Maybe some PvP and flight too? Goretzu's Law: As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving "Entitled" approaches 1

Look on the bright side - you don't have to wait for a boat that comes "supposedly" every 15 minutes. And you don't have to worry about falling through the boat into the depth of ocean where CR is impossible without GM assistance.

I've played EverQuest and then went to vanilla WoW. In EQ I'd have to sit and stare at my character for ~30 minutes while I rode on a boat to the Overthere and if I missed when the boat dock, I'd have to sit through another round trip. Travelling in this game isn't so bad, in fact I think it partially adds to the immersion, which I very much enjoy. However I do think a couple of small changes could greatly reduce the annoyance that some people feel regarding doing repetitive tasks just to get from point A to point B. First: Add a bind point/quick travel point inside your ship, or something similar to the fleet pass on a shorter cool down. Second: Every spaceport should have a taxi nearby. Third: Fix the flight paths on DK so they connect, this is an unnecessary inconvenience. Fourth: Add stuff to the space dock so it doesn't feel like this pointless void you must traverse just to board your ship I think these still give flexibility and options to RP players but also convenience for the "power gamers".

Sad thing is with 7 loading times I would rather wait for a boat and most boats show up every couple min not 15.

So I have to run to the next point where I have to zone... now I'm in a gosh darn airlock??? jesus Christ when will I get to my Spaceship... Ok cool I'm finally on my spaceship... oh my god I wish my stupid droid had something else to say other than the same 5 lines every time I zoned in... I wish he would shutup already! Ok cool, finally I'm ready to go to the planet I want... what the hell I'm in the gosh darn airlock again... awesome I'll just run through that again for whatever pointless reason... Jesus Christ I'm on another orbital station. I guess I'll just spend more time running to the stupid shuttle... is there even a point to this stupid orbital station other than pissing me off... Cool I'm finally on the planet I want... oh Jesus tapdancing Christ i have to run through the hangar again... oh look I zoned into the exact same space station again? is this even a different planet or am I on the same one? Guess I'll have to run through this generic space station to see what planet I'm on... All that time wasted for no reason... My point... please for the love of god BW... make travel between planets less painful... I'm cool with it. I just shuttle to the waystation that has the interfleet shuttle path - I speeder there if I'm not in that much of a rush. Then click on that shuttle path and wallah, I'm at fleet. I just run to my ship then and head off to where I'm trying to get to. If I'm in a super-rush the emergency fleet pass. Maybe its because I come from MMO's where you need to wait for a boat that only comes every 15 minutes which then travels for 12 minutes in order to get from one continent to another, but travel in SWTOR is just fine to me. In fact I think the flashpoint hub they have at Fleet is a bit too easy.
