Traceguy Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 I don't think the engine can handle it, but it would also be game breaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyTricicolo Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 No. Reason being is that it would allow you to circumvent intentional borders and let you go to places you are not supposed to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To say nothing of being able to do what the aerial mounts (loosely speaking aerial, of course) in GW2 allow you to do: scoot across the map without having to fight enemies (er, because you're flying above them...). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainbladejk Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 While I think it could be interesting to have, this isn't WoW and such a thing isn't needed in SWTOR. I would rather they give us actual areas we could zip around in outside of the Star Fox mode space combat and especially Starfighter because just eww starfighter. If one wishes to zoom about in various types of vehicles there are other star wars games for this.

I don't think flying is needed in this game, but I also do not find this to be a valid argument as those areas can be shored up if such a flying feature were to be introduced. 22 hours ago, SteveTheCynic said: To say nothing of being able to do what the aerial mounts (loosely speaking aerial, of course) in GW2 allow you to do: scoot across the map without having to fight enemies (er, because you're flying above them...). As I said to the other guy, I don't think flying is needed in this game, but in a game like this I don't find this a compelling argument against flying either. People already skip mobs they don't want to fight as is. Usually by stealth and CC or dodging aggro ranges. By the logic of this argument we may as well remove stealth and various CCs from the game since they too allow people to move around without fighting mobs.

Shayddow Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 Probably won't. Because those "fade to black" moments in Rishi Travel? That's because there IS no scenery in-between. There is only the vacuum of cold space. At least when they built Tatooine they filled in the Exhaustion zones with Scenery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felleto Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 Maybe make a planet for that and slowly make their way down to other planets. Like WoW did with outland and then with the rest of the game world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sirsunny Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Flying around in space manually? Yes! Flying around on planets? Please not. So many fantasy MMO´s did that and it´s more negative to the games than anything else. Even if poeple say it´s "QoL", the whole environment is going to be soulless, questing will become a joke and unlocking flying everywhere will become a chore. No matter if the engine can handle it or not, it´s really the last thing needed in SWTOR. We´ve ports for heroics, can use our flagship to do so and are able to jump between housing and planets. I guess that´s more than enough QoL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
