gentleblade Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 The loading times in this game are agonizing. Why then do I have to load load load from my ship to some mini station first THEN load a SECOND time from the station to the planet? I mean, ok. Make me go to the station once for the inoculation quest the first time or whatever when applicable. But after that I'd rather just cut out the middle man and the loading screen and just get down to business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poor design by the original development team which built in lots of ridiculous and unavoidable time / travel sinks that according to the new development team, cannot be decoupled from the mission system without major development efforts which even if expended, could still break the game.

LordArtemis Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 For some of the planets I would like this as an option. Once you have completed the planet there is little to no reason to have the station transition IMO. The station is still needed for a few planets, naturally. And the stations are mostly vital when leveling, since there are triggers on the station for quests. But once the planet is completed I fail to see the need. Especially since you allow a player to ascend directly to their ship... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivanhedgehog Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 I really like the space station in orbit of planets that the other faction doesnt know you are on..No one notices that big station in orbit and all the traffic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LyraineAlei Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Some of the stations have FPs you can pick up while not fleet. And Planet Quest stuff. I do believe Belsavis is a planet that Imps should not have a space station for. I recall a fabric author suggesting an alternative that also had possibility for an interesting quest in his/her writing. Think it was Phyreblade or something like that? And the quest was something like companions defending the ship from would-be ship thieves I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pietrastor Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Thank God for Nar Shaddaa, I can forever skip endless spaceports, taxis and corridors and load straight onto Promenade. Similar with Coruscant with Coruscant and Dromund (best 10k ever spent). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagikFingerz Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 +1 to this being horrible design. Give us some way of escape pod-ing straight to the surface or something. Thank God for Nar Shaddaa, I can forever skip endless spaceports, taxis and corridors and load straight onto Promenade. Similar with Coruscant with Coruscant and Dromund (best 10k ever spent). Yep, now we just need one on every other planet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

x_Boots_x Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 For some reason when they built this game, they confused slowing down players leveling experience to "enjoy" the game with keeping players happy with content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emmcee Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 While I agree that docking stations/air locks (and load screens in general) are a painful time-sink, many of the avenues of travel are done the way they are for realistic lore -docking stations/air locks are on every planet that does not have a dedicated spaceport to land your gigantic ship- and, more importantly, to provide a sense of a large-scale world/galaxy. I've seen this argument made in many other games and it usually ends with the same people who complained about travel being slow or inconvenient turning around and quitting because -now- the game world is too small and there isn't enough content. Seriously, think about it. Name ONE game that didn't get WORSE by adding instant/convenient travel? I often feel pity for the developers of this game (or any game for that matter) - they are damned if they do and damned if they don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotharofxev Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Wait, where can you spend 10k and go straight to Nar Shadaa? (I looked in rep, maybe I missed it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawnAskham Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Wait, where can you spend 10k and go straight to Nar Shadaa? (I looked in rep, maybe I missed it) Strongholds, though it is Current Location to Nar Shadaa stronghold (loads fast) to Promenade, as well as won't always work if you have a mission which says 'travel to Nar Shadaa' as the trigger to give you the next mission step won't happen unless you travel via your ship.

MagikFingerz Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Wait, where can you spend 10k and go straight to Nar Shadaa? (I looked in rep, maybe I missed it) Strongholds, but the 10k only refers to the Coruscant/DK ones (costs 5k eack). The Nar Shaddaa one is more expensive, unless you got it for free as a sub perk.
