Has anyone taken any poles for which vehicles will be in the highest demand... ie 40% want swoops, 30% wand speederbikes and 30% want land speeders?


Thank you for any info

No but I am sure the majority will want the fastest one. I know even though the swoop isn't that great at hills, on Corellia it is overall faster than any of them because the terrain isn't that bad. I even took it into the hills north of Kor Vella and Doaba and the slow down wasn't bad at all. Just like when running, you can get around the massive slowdown by going up hills at an angle.

I think they all will be popular really.


A lot fo people like cruising in their shiny new car and other people like riding their nice new bikes.


I think it will have a lot more to do with people's style than speed.


Me, since i do so many harvester runs, a swoop in the end will save me a lot more time.


At the moment, we can only have 1 at a time in your datapad so, you have to chose wisely.

Yes, you need chose wisely...


Swoopers are the fastest vehicles, but....they have less HAM and have the higher decay rate (then they will need higher manutention cousts). They too have the worse terrain modification bonus, then they cannot move fast at mountainous terrain.


Landspeeders are the slower vehicles, but they have higher HAM, the lesser decay rate and the higher terrain modification bonus (they go up mountains fast).


Speeders have intermediate statistics, but are the coolest vehiucles and if you want style you want a speeder.


Knowing these statistics, I can tell that swoopers are better to racing. However, the best vehicles to make harverster runs don't are swoopers. Landspeeders will be economical (les manutention coust), they will be the best vehicles to cross rugged terrain and they will have more chances to survive to a close encounter with armed MOBs. IMHO, the best vehicles to make harverster runs are the landspeeders.

Please please please make it so that vehicles also avoid large rocks and harvestors. You did it with the AI of NPC's, can we please have our vehicles to the same?

I mean that when you press num-lock to auto-pilot, your vehicle can avoid rocks and harvestors. You can't fly from point a to point b without getting stopped by a rock. Don't tell me everyone holds their mouse for 10 min straight!

Right, and I'm just asking that the vehicles automatically avoid large objects that you get stuck on.

That seems kind of unnessecary. Vehicles should'nt be able to auto-pilot themselves. Where's the fun in that?

What's the fun in holding the mouse button for 10 min straight?
