Felioats Posted April 8, 2013 Posted April 8, 2013 From the patch notes: Added new Priority Transport Terminals the Fleet and several space garages, which provide transportation between high-level mission areas such as The Black Hole, Ilum, Section X, and Makeb. Planetary shuttles on Belsavis, Ilum, and Corellia have had these transport options removed for clarity. Space garage... you park in a garage, so.. a place where you park your spaceship? A spaceport?
MillionsKNives Posted April 8, 2013 Posted April 8, 2013 From the patch notes: Space garage... you park in a garage, so.. a place where you park your spaceship? A spaceport? Just like there is a ship port for the starter and core worlds (i.e., Tython, Drommund Kaas, etc.) on the fleet, it sounds like they're adding some more ships that will take you to the dailies areas. It's not a garage for your ship, it's for transport ships.

It's not a garage for your ship, it's for transport ships. Oh, that hangar you never go to again after leaving your starter world. I guess it makes sense to find a way to get some long-term use out of those. I'm not sure how much more convenient it is than going the old-fashioned way, though. It depends on where the spaceport on that planet is and where the missions are. And then once you get there and you want to leave for the next daily area, the planetary shuttle won't have that option anymore, and you'll have to go back to your ship.

I'm guessing that the options for shuttling to the other dailies areas will be replaced by the option to shuttle back to the hangar you came from. I agree that that's still less convenient than how it is now, but better than going to your ship and interacting with the galaxy map. And it's less awkward than having those shuttles all interconnected, for some random (in context of the game) reason.
Elear Posted April 8, 2013 Posted April 8, 2013 I'm not sure how much more convenient it is than going the old-fashioned way, though. It depends on where the spaceport on that planet is and where the missions are. Regardless where they'll be placed(I assume it's just meant as common name for both space ports and space stations), since you'll be able to (from description) use one on fleet to go everywhere,, it'll be more convinient. On related note, I expect tons of "I want refund for priority transport: BH" threads to pop up any minute now.
Delta_V Posted April 8, 2013 Posted April 8, 2013 It will be less convenient if you're already in a daily area, since you can't go straight from one to the other, instead, you'll have to load back to the garage and from there to your next destination. However, if you aren't already at a daily area, I think it will be more convenient. Instead of having to load to one of the planets (Belsavis, Corellia, etc.), and from there to a daily area, you will load to the fleet, or wherever this garage is located, and from there to the daily area. Since the fleet generally has a faster load time than planets, this should make things quicker, especially if you were already on the fleet for flashpoints or ops.
Dev Post AmberGreen Posted April 8, 2013 Dev Post Posted April 8, 2013 *waves hand* There is no garage. The location in the patch note is and always has been "Orbital Station" ... ... but really. Thanks for pointing out the error. It's been corrected!
Kane_Ren Posted April 8, 2013 Posted April 8, 2013 (edited) Aww I wanted Shug's spacebarn. Paint some krayt dragon scales all over my ship Fit a mini trash compactor so I can crush and fix C2 over and over Replace the escape pod with a fighter as in Wraith squadron Fit a cloaking device fit a repeating blaster cannon underneath Install an oversized lightsaber to the side of the ship that projects a 200m blade, I can do high speed passes against capital ships to rip them open Switch out IFF transponder and mask engine emission ID Fit a tractor beam Fit an ion cannon Now that's what I should be able to do with a garage Edited April 8, 2013 by Kane_Ren
Doctoglethorpe Posted April 8, 2013 Posted April 8, 2013 So now we have to go back to the fleet in-between each daily zone rather then shuttling directly to the next one? o_________________________o Bioware, always taking one step forward and two steps backwards.

HitMeh Posted April 8, 2013 Posted April 8, 2013 It's not a garage, it's a carriage house! +1 to this. Made me literally lol! <3 Fanboys
MandraMoody Posted April 9, 2013 Posted April 9, 2013 +1 to this. Made me literally lol! <3 Fanboys +10 to the OQ and +5 to you, whew I thought I was the only one who got that! ....and it IS a carriage house!!

Thanks for pointing out the error. It's been corrected! My heart skipped a beat at the idea of a Space Garage... I would kill 100 ewoks for a Space Garage... I would Kiss a Bantha for a Space Garage... I would really like some options for my space ships

It says it will "allow transportation between" high level hubs, so I would take that to mean you can go back and forth between the hubs, not have to go to the fleet each time.
devtek Posted April 9, 2013 Posted April 9, 2013 It says it will "allow transportation between" high level hubs, so I would take that to mean you can go back and forth between the hubs, not have to go to the fleet each time. I think they just made a new "shuttle" thing specifically for traveling between daily areas instead of using the orbital station shuttles. Apparently it was confusing, I don't know.
ArenRakescar Posted April 9, 2013 Posted April 9, 2013 Overheard on the XS Freighter: I dunno, Risha... all I heard was that they're putting up these space garages all over the place. Look, it's called the Unknown Regions for a reason, right? I told you, you should have gone back on Ilum. Can't you hold it? We're already halfway to Bugtown.
KostonxEld Posted April 9, 2013 Posted April 9, 2013 This is a terrible idea! I do not wan to load to fleet then loa to another daily area again! They fixed this and now they made it complex again?! Why can't we just shuttle from black hole to section x still?!?! Please fix this!! Loading screens are a pain in the neck and we need LESS not more
_BARBIE_ Posted April 9, 2013 Posted April 9, 2013 .......so has anyone found this "space garage" yet? Early expansion is out and no transport on fleet to dailies. Now we do have to go to Corellia for black hole and belsalvis for section x. Come in....we need ONE shuttle to go from fleet to all dailies.. Something simple? Oh wait...noooo this is BioWare, that's too simple!

The priority transport terminal is on the hangar deck (level 2 or whatever its called) of the fleet ... just outside the entrance to your personal ship instance.
Seraphynn Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 There are also terminal's in each daily zone. They are consoles usually near the ship to allow you to shuttle without going to your ship or the fleet.
