Since quick travel cool down is only 30 mins, the odd of it being up is pretty good. Time it takes to get from taxi/outpost bind point to the shuttle, 5 secs, 10 if not loading speeder and just run to it on foot instead.

10-15 seconds, tops.

No loading required as it is a same zone transition. Black screen transition takes about 2 seconds at the most.

Less than 5 seconds.

Ship is the fastest loading "zone" in the game due to its small size. Even on my 2 years old, not peak performance machine it takes less than 5-6 seconds to load into the ship from any planet.

It should take litte more than 1 minute to do all of this once you have memorized the galactic map location of each planet (you should if you are level 50). Now I will grant you that loading into the Imperial Station can take a little while depending on the time of the day but 20-30 seconds is the most I have encountered during peak hours with populations of 200+.

It shouldn't even take you 5 minutes to get from a planet to the station using the traditional way, much less 10. I have been engaged in this specific travel pattern on my level 50 almost daily for *weeks* now whether it is Belsavis or Ilum. 10 mins is a vast over-estimation.

Not sure if serious......

I'm gonna time it just for you. Takes me 2 minutes flat to load Ilum. A lot of people have similar load times.
Looking for a good woman. Able to clean, cook, sew, catch bait, and clean fish. Must have boat and motor.

It's inherent for each character. Just open up your abilities window (not the skill tree one) and look under the general tab. Emergency fleet pass should show up and you just drag it onto your hotbar.

Why would you load Ilum? You're going from Ilum to the Fleet station because that's what the fleet pass does. The time it takes to load *into* a planet is irrelevant since you are already on the planet and is now traveling the opposite direction. Am I missing something here?

P.S: If you do time it, feel free to post it on Youtube or something as proof. Even your 2 minutes long Ilum load time seems like a big stretch to me. If your computer is really that slow, I honestly don't even know how you met the system requirement to run the game in the first place.

Kindly stop derailing this topic. While it started out as being about fleet passes, OP has in stead said this is about the availability of authenticators. Take your red herring about how you think of the travel system elsewhere.

I'd like a 60 min fleet pass to get from Ilum to Fleet when I'm needed. Which can happen several times a day. Was that beyond your reading comprehension? You clearly didn't read or understand the topic here. Perhaps you can go someplace else if you don't care to discuss the 60 min Fleet Pass, and why someone would need it.

Then get a security key or the app for it, and use the android emulator if necessary.

I'm going to work on that. Just addressing the people claiming how insignificant the 60 min pass is. If it's so not needed, then why did they devs cite it when addressing the timely travel system? See quote in OP.
