MakuBenjami Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 (edited) I have the security key so I can buy a 1hr Fleet Pass for 1k each. Now with the new Fleet Transport legacy perk, subs can get the Emergency Fleet Pass CD to 0 for 600k! I can't imagine ever coming close to using 600 fleet passes. I've been buying those passes since early access and maybe I've come close to 100. In addition, we also have the priority transport to fleet perk, I know it's a shared CD with the others, but it's still another option. It's just not cost effective for 600k at today's credit values. Maybe with inflation in 2 years maybe. Edited September 8, 2013 by MakuBenjami Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoofa Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 I've had all 3 of the cool down boosts for over a year. It just so happens that as of last Wednesday they now give me an instant transport. The 600k you spend gives all of your characters current or future the zero cool-down fleet pass - so I find it good value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeweledleah Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 so don't? to me its convenience and extra inventory slot for every alt to feel with fun junk I like to carry around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NateJB Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 The emergency fleet pass cd reduction is a legacy perk, so it applies to all characters you have made on your server. That's why people would buy it. Hell I sure did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordArtemis Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 600k for instant Fleet Transport! Why would you buy that! Instant transport to the fleet with no cooldown...which also gives you instant access to everything else, including your ship. I think its worth it, but thats subjective naturally.

oaceen Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 (edited) people are complaining about the loss of credits from buying fleet passes. people complaining about buying the unlock that's a lot better than it was before. and pretty soon, this thread will be filled with more people complaining about people complaining.

hadoken Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Mostly because 600k is chump change and it's a legacy perk across all your alts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spectreclees Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 People will complain about anything. I bought maybe 40 of those things with my SK and haven't since. You just don't use them enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaniMauser Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Well, obviously, the feature is optional, so if you see no reason to get it, do not get it. But I assume you realize it yourself and just want to talk about it. So why not indulge you while I have some time to spare? First, there are people without security key. Physical ones are now available in many countries. Never were and from the looks of it, never will. As for free smartphone app, well not all people even want or need smartphone in the first place. Thus any ingame-not-real-money unlock is cheaper than buying+importing physical security key or buying smartphpone. Ingame credits are not real, but money you pay for physical key or smartphone(or collection edition with ugly statue) are. Do you still think it's cheaper for those people? To me it looks like a great deal for people who do not have security keys for any reasons. Even more, as a person who does have security key, I still got the unlock, since it is QoL improvement. First, it has no CD at all, so if you forgot to grab something from terminal or use commendation vendors there, you do not have to leg back to the shuttle and then to ship and then to fleet. You just click one button, and done:) Also, have you ever forgotten to check how many tickets you have and find out that you are out of them when you needed it? Have you ever been stuck so badly that /stuck did not help and the only way to get out was to use qt or fleet pass, and both were on CD ? If not, congratulations:) I've been in both situations and did not like them. So I'd like to avoid it in the future. Not to mention that 600k is just too easy to get., why make such a big deal of spending this sum on anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arenatah Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 I had a bunch of credits to blow, and it's really convenient to have a no cooldown transport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grayseven Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 After 600 uses, it's free. I used it 10 times today alone because it makes getting around much easier and saves my Priority Transports for important stuff. And 600k credits is one days worth of dailies with loot and junk sold, so it isn't like 600k is hard to come by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heal-To-Full Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 (edited) It's just not cost effective for 600k at today's credit values. Maybe with inflation in 2 years maybe. I bought it way back. Back when it only reduced the CD from IDR what to IIRC 6 hours. I also bought the 3 unlocks for 600k credits to reduce QT cooldown from 30 minutes to 24. Yes, by a mere 6 minutes or 20%. Now? I spend anything under a mil on a whim. I don't think twice about lending a couple mil to someone I just met. I wouldn't mind spending 5 mil on an item if there was an item worth that much. Something that I didn't have already; if I needed more 72s, I can get them crafted for free. I've lent 10 mil to someone I know with no collateral. I'll do so again, and maybe someday it will actually cost me 10 mil. I won't be bothered. Most of us don't count credits by the hundred k, we count them by the mil. Anything under is "whatever it didn't cost anything".

chuixupu Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 I know lots of people who paid that much for the perk before they made it instant, so yeah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phrase Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 I bought the unlock right now, as I'm typing this, just to piss off the OP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drudenfusz Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 I play sine launch (actually, eraly access, but that isn't important here), I have the security key (came with the collectors edition) and I have bought the reduced fleet cooldowns pretty much when we got the option with the leagacy system (was that patch 1.2?). I wouldn't be surprised if I have already used the ability more often then 600 times (after all, it's the whole legacy that gets that benefit). And now with the cooldown gone, I use it even more. Also I have one inventory slot more open, and don't have to think about visiting a certain vendor once in a while. But if you like to keep using your security vendor fleet passes, then go for it.

morfius Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Because it is faster to go from VIP area to hangars with pass than otherwise Actually have those (FP & QT) unlocked before changes... sold back all passes, not a big deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hessen Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 I've never had anywhere close to 600k credits so no chance of me unlocking it. Seems like just a credit sink to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayelinna Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 I bought it instantly with 600k, it's pretty useful having no cooldown. 600k is nothing to me, i'm rich in real life so i just buy loads of stuff off the cartel market and sell it on the GTN for credits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grayseven Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 I've never had anywhere close to 600k credits so no chance of me unlocking it. Seems like just a credit sink to me. Seriously? Run Section X, Black Hole, Makeb, GSI, and CZ-198 dailies and the Makeb weekly. Loot everything, sell the greens and trash. GTN the rest if you don't need it for personal use.
