I can't take the pointless travelling between planets...

I don't see how that changes. When you go into the hangar, it automatically activates the cut-scene. Now, instead of it being activated by crossing a threshold, it's just activated by pressing the travel button.

Press switch, it automatically cuts to you in the hangar and the cut scene begins.

I mean, from an immersion standpoint, the trip through the hangar is still happening. It's just an off-screen action. In cases where the quest needs it, it cuts to the hangar.

There should be a way to have your ship pick you up straight from the planet...


Here is an idea for the DEVS

You know those Rakata teleporters on Belsavis?

well give us a quest that lets us get that chick npc who was researching them from the planet questline to sell us the parts to equip our ship with a Rakata teleporter.

then to get to a planet we use normal means as it is now.

but to leave a planet we could request a crew member use the rakata teleporter to teleport us off the planet onto our ship thereby avoiding multiple zoning screens to leave a planet.




Please give our ships the Rakata Teleport device that is seen on Planet Belsavis.

That will fix our problems!!!


we can use a crew member to teleport us back, put it on a 1-4 hour cooldown if need be.

My question is, how often are these people traveling back and forth between planets that the few minutes it takes to get from one extreme point of the galaxy to the other extreme point is actually a problem? Don't you travel somewhere and then spend most of your time actually doing something there? I know there a handful of quests that require going around and talking to people on different planets, but they are relatively rare, and the traveling is part of the quest.

I know what the answer really is. I know the sort that goes insane just thinking about a load screen. It would be tragic if Bioware listens to this nonsense and actually removes space ports, for example, from the game. I hope they don't. I don't think they will.

On every planet is a shuttle to the Fleet. You already have a quick travel to the Fleet from anywhere, albeit with a once a day use. You have a short cooldown on your quick travel to another point on a planet. It's actually quite funny that someone "can't take it". Doesn't it make you want to group up with them, so they can tell you all about all the other things they "can't take"?

Kinda like what I said a few dozen pages back. If I may be so bold as to quote myself.

Your ship should do SOMETHING...

Though I don't really have a problem with the spaceport portion of interplanetary travel, I don't really see how it could be called fun or entertaining either.

That said my biggest gripe is with various planetary load screens. On some, not all, planets it takes me anywhere from 5-10 minutes just to get from my ship to the hangar. Last night, I made two sandwiches and was able to eat one while waiting on Alderaan to load. I ate the other one while travelling through the spaceport. Later, I cleaned my entire kitchen while waiting on it to load again. Shortly after that load, I realized I was undergeared and would need to make a trip to the fleet but didn't because at that point I had run out of house work to keep me occupied while waiting.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that I don't have a problem with travel at all (airlock removal would be nice). I don't really have a problem with the shorter load screens in the spaceports. But those long those long screens that I encounter when trying to enter a planet eventually make me want to cut the game off and just watch tv.

Is she playing on a toaster? Black screens taking 1-3 minutes is kinda crazy, her system is F'd. I play on a 4 year old machine, no SSD. My black screens are 5 seconds at most. Regular load screens are about 45-60 seconds.

There are only 2 or 3 loading screens already... so your last sentence is lost on me.

^ Do people not understand this SIMPLE, common-sense context?

All this about the experience, engaging blah blah blah is bologne. Imagine if you don't have a powerful computer (my case) running through this every time (which happens).

My friends invite me to another planet, I have to say wait 15 minutes.

You may say get a faster computer, I am not selling my product to the consumer. I am the consumer and have buying power, BW should accomodate me and the thousands of customers with slower PCs to avoid losing sales.

Imagine you are going to buy a 50 inch TV, think the salesman will tell you to buy a bigger house if you want the big TV? Non-sense.

current Traveling: current: run, click, loadscreen, run, click, loadscreen, run....etc.......

Proposed solution:

Click button anywhere, ship picks you up in 10 seconds. 1 Load screen.
On ship, pick destination. You can choose 1 of 2 routes.
1. The "safe" hyperspace route that takes 5 minutes. During this time, you can play Pazzaak or Holo chess with your crew, help them craft via some minigame, try out different specs via a combat simulator, or take a whiz.
2. The "quick" hyperspace route that takes 30 seconds, but with a chance that you get ambushed and need to do one of the Star Fox minigame like things.

Once complete, you click the rear door and end up in the bottom-most hanger.

I have actually not done things I wanted to because of this. I have skipped helping guildmates on other planets because of this. Super long load screens, and the annoyance of interplanet travel needs some love.
