The legacy doesn't die if you delete all the characters. I found that out during the crash last night, when I rolled on another server to goof off, and rolled into an existing legacy, despite not having any characters there any more.

So if the cutscene is immersion breaking, then the loading screen immediately afterwards must really trash the game for ya'? My usual MO? I hit the transition, get up and get more coffee, a Pepsi, or a sammich, yes, I have to get my own, my cat's too lazy to do it for me, and come back to find "Hey, I'm in a new/different place". I don't think I've watched more than the first departure scene for each class to get a look at the ship when it's not in a hangar, after that, I don't even pay attention to them, even if I'm not AFK during the transition. For me, this is the chance to get up, stretch my legs, maybe a trip to the little boy's room, feed the cat, etc. It's not going to break the game if it never gets fixed, since I don't pay attention to it now, I'm surely not going to fuss about it later.
