spectreclees Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Remove them. Why? Because they aren't needed on the fleet. The only people needed their are the people playing. Companions just look silly following you around on the fleet in their slave girl outfits. Just get rid of them on the fleet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gwena Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 (edited) I like having my companion out, and I like seeing everyone else's companions too! My 50's hang out on fleet a lot, and I run a lot of companion gift missions, so it is also nice to be able to have them out for gifts. Also, it is useful to have your companion out when you are shopping for gear upgrades for them on the GTN, getting stuff for them out of your cargo bay, etc. If you want to get rid of something annoying, silly, and unnecessary on the fleet, I suggest picking on level 40/50 speeders instead.

I agree with this completely. No need to get rid of comanions. I use mine on Fleet. And btw, I don't lag on fleet at any time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RikHar Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 (edited) Don't forget about those gigantic awful speeders or whatever it is they're called. They need to be shrunk down or something. You would think something that ridiculously big would carry more then one person and it doesn't even do that. It's just a waste of space.

-Slaughterhouse- Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 I agree with op, as a lag issue. Same with vehicles. I know, vehicles, are very useful, but besides one more thing game has to keep track of, some jerks always using vehicles blocking mail ports and gtn.

tausser Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Erm, how would you shop for them at the GTN? You'd make us travel to Dromund or Coruscant for that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elkirin Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 I am on a quiet server so no lag, maybe the compromise is to remove speeders and companions from the inner most ring? Might need to add an outer tavern area, like a beer garden for smokers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spectreclees Posted July 10, 2012 Author Share Posted July 10, 2012 (edited) It's not really a concern for lag, though it has it's purpose their too. I just don't like seeing everyone on the fleet with their companions following behind them like little children. It looks rather silly. @ the guy with the shop for items thing, I believe you can purchase things for them without having them out. Last I checked that is. @ the speeder thing, yes I agree speeders need to go and we need a movement speed increase on the fleet.

The_Old_One Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Remove the Speeders but increase the speed of Sprint automatically to the level of your speeder licence. (I have seen NPCs run that fast and it does not look weird at all) Remove the companions from all 4 wings on the station but they are allowed only in the middle bar area and the VIP area too. Sensible, logical, acceptable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sensible, logical, acceptable. You can turn down the number of people you see. Already a sensible, logical and acceptable way to do this without additional coding.

While you can make purchases without your companion, you cannot view your what your companion is wearing or give them gifts without them being there. Last I checked that is.
