Pblogic Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 It just plain looks silly to see speeder bikes in space stations sized for running. Did you see anyone zipping around on speeder bikes IN the halls of the Death Star? No. Why? Because that would look stupid. Like riding a Harley around in the mall.

Soazak Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 (edited) Agree, it looks dumb and it's not as if the zone is huge.. Edited January 10, 2012 by Soazak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainHagbard Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 You can think of them as segway's Which also look pretty stupid... But I agree with OP, because maybe the Level I speeders are somewhat justifyable as "Segways", but when people cruise around in Level III speeders the size of a car, it's starting to look ridiculous, when they pile up in front of the GTN. Fleet isn't that large and sprint should suffice to get around quick enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magnaburn Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Man its hard enough to use your speeder as it is when your questing cause of enemies. stop complaining about things that make life easier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xerda Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I'm still levelling but I love seeing what things I get to aim for later. I think it's nice people can show off their latest acquisition. It's not as if the fleet isn't big enough for people to be whizzing about. On my slow level 25 mount I'm very happy to be able to use it when I need to go from one side to the other. So if it's for immersion reasons maybe just do it on RP servers where that kind of thing is important to players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shagma Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Removing speeders will also help increase frame rates for those who are having problems in space stations. Even my 6950 drops drastically when 10s of speeders congregate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cormey Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 This has started to annoy me recently, more people are getting them and it's starting to look real bad. if bioware must keep them then justify it, make the starbase ten times the size and put highways in...

Black_Rabbit Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I remember this exact argument about people not wanting mounts in major cities in WoW like Iron Forge or Stormwind, but they didn't get it, and neither will we, one reason: LAZY PEOPLE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MalakDawnfire Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 (edited) Apparently Tedium = Immersion. Nope immersion = immersion, tedium is just something that comes as the result. What the OP wants won't happen, I always thought it was a little weird that people were riding Speeders in the spacedock but these game mechanics will always be preferred as it makes a stroll around the "city" more bearable.

PedigreeButchery Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 What, so the reason the OP wants this is because he "doesn't like the way it looks"? That's *********** stupid.

CaptainHagbard Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Man its hard enough to use your speeder as it is when your questing cause of enemies. stop complaining about things that make life easier It looks ridiculous and it drains performance for everyone, because the speeders need to be rendered, too. Also it wouldn't take that much longer moving around the fleet without speeders. It's not like it's as huge as the Dune Sea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traumahawk Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Ban all vehicles and install light rail! Seriously, a really fast tram that stops for 10 seconds at each section. There's already room for it in the gap between the two levels in each area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't to want to run slowly over and over all over the large station each of the many times I visit the fleet.

Chiricahua Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Personally I like the vehicles, but people abuse it. They pull their vehicle right up to the mail box whereby you can't check your mail. To me it's the same generation doing this that's calling for nerfing classes, nerfing buffs, etc. There is no pleasing them. I call them the lost generation of latch key children. Absolutely no moral compass either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you're saying that we shouldn't be allowed to drive around golf carts in shopping malls? How am I going to get from the food court to Babbage's quickly? You are a killjoy.

WykedTetra Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 please dont in fact please enable speeders in spaceports. its not lazy, its just that after the 500th time of going through dromund kas' spaceport, it feels like a waste of time.

How am I going to get from the food court to Babbage's quickly? You are a killjoy. You could run? Also the big speeders are more the equivalent of full-size cars... and that gives me THE business-idea of the year: Drive-Thru-Malls. please dont in fact please enable speeders in spaceports. its not lazy, its just that after the 500th time of going through dromund kas' spaceport, it feels like a waste of time. And while we're at it, we could completly remove travel by foot at all. How about implementing a teleportation-system without cooldown? We'd just click a point on the map (any map in fact, so we won't have to use those cumbersome spaceships) and the game teleports us there.

Eivon Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Why only speeders? People having sprint and run toggled on constantly looks wrong too. I say only allow walking. Except on Hoth rebelside ofc since we all clearly saw in the movies rebels running around in their base there. It is afterall very important with realism in a game where we have aliens with long elephant trunks as nooses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
