A question is being asked about an alternative means of transportation and they bring up another such means already in the game.

BW did not make any statements about the quality of the travel system, nor did they say QT to ship or the fleet pass is an improvement to the system.

They specifically said:

but it's something we've been discussing on and off. Currently, given how easily available fleet travel passes are on the Security Vendor, we don't think adding this is necessary.


Which suggests they don't think an improvement like quick travel to the ship is needed when people have access to the Fleet Pass....... but not everyone has access to the Fleet Pass.

So basically they are saying is you don't have Fleet Pass then, yes, you actually do really need quick travel to your ship and the travel system is sub-par without it.

I didn't even use one until well after I hit 50.

It depends on your definition of "needed".


"Needed" to be able to travel? No.

"Needed" to be able to travel quickly and/or avoiding the issues that plague the current travel system? Yes.
Real Star Wars space combat please, not Star Wars Fox! Maybe some PvP and flight too?

Again, they never say QT to ship or the fleet pass is an improvement. If the person asking the question meant it as an improvement to the travel system, they didn't make that apparent in their question.

You could say that BW pointing out a luxury item means they think the travel system is fine as it is, also because they state they discuss QT to ship "off and on." But that's more my opinion than what's written by BW.

Well they are apparently putting in travel from shuttle straight to your ship, which will somewhat help the travel system (I guess you reckon they are doing that to add "luxury travel" and not help the travel system too ).

Not as much as quick travel straight to the ship or giving everyone access to Fleet Pass, but better than nothing.

Personally I think eventually they'll have to move Fleet Pass off the SKV and/or add quick travel straight to your ship (and/or taxi straight to your ship), especially if they get more desperate to retain subs.

DL an Android emulator. It's free and works the same and you only need a PC.

Oh, not at all. Death to orbital stations!

I said the travel system is functional. I didn't say it doesn't need an improvement here and there

sigh... it's 13€ (and postal services) for the rest of the world (you know there's more of a world outside US, right?) And it is NOT avalible to all OFFICIALLY supported countries, where game is OFICIALLY sold.

So for those without Fleet Pass would fast travel to your ship be an improvement to the travel system or not?

I am not sure. Currently I am still leveling and don't have a toon at 50 yet, so I don't need to use my ship all that often. I guess that could change once I hit max level.

But that's my opinion, and has nothing to do with what BW said
