Ive been having a big problem with my swoop poofing when I mess with my harvesters, definitly when I redeed them but sometimes even when I just go to empty the stupid thing, its a big pain to speed on out to the harvester go fiddle with it for a minute and then BAM Im stuck out in the middle of nowhere with no ride home (had to sacrifice my scout skills cause i needed the skill points, 15 is A LOT to spend just to make camps)

I have the issue ALL the time. It makes it very difficult for me since I have NO scouting due to skill points and it make it VERY inconvenient to have to run 3000m+ from my harvesters when it disappears or if I enter a house to check a vendor. This would not be a big deal if they set it up so that you can call you vehicles without a camp.

ditto to everything dajinn said


also not only do they just vanish, sometimes i get off and watch them rocket off in the direction i just came from...if i backtrack and find it, it is ALWAYS behind some item(house,harvester, etc) that i had gone around while riding


also the whole vehicle health fully restoring when you leave it out and take a shuttle then store and recall bug sucks bad for me and other master artisans cause i know my sales have dropped

Server: Kettomoor. Location: doing a mission about a k outside the player city of Mos Arcus. Pulled up to the lair and started shooting. Looked back occationally to see if Vehicle was still there, and it was for a while. After finished the lair, turned around to find vehicle gone. Is very irritating to have it just go poof.

I have had huge issues with this bug. The fact that I reported also proves it. On tatt during missions they disappear. Seems to me mainly when i get into combat with a mob. No matter how close i park to my charater it doesnt matter. SSometimes it does in fact stay. I would say 50% of the time during a mission it disappears. I am doing all my missions south of Bestine.

I have found that there are at least 3 places that I can 'stick' my bike every time. Then later when I get off I can reliably go back and find it stuck there. the 2 that are easiest to describe are

1. Bridge in Theed, Naboo that goes to the Cantina from the palace. If you drive your vehicle along the left edge it will seem to work fine but as soon as you get off say at the cantina it will race back to that bridge corner.

2. Gate in Coronet, Corillia. Go out the starport and turn left. As you approach the gate go to the right between the wall and the sign that says coronet. Go to the garage to the right of that gate. Get off your bike and it will instantly be behind the wall that was to the right of the gate when you went out.

Doh! I had this happen to me last night a few times. The one I remember details about was about 3000m outside of Theed, I stopped, exited the vehicle and when I hit survey, my landspeeder went 'poof' and I had to camp to generate it again. I have noticed that the vehicle doesn't take a lot of damage compared to my old swoop but I thought it was normal.

Server: Chimaera


When: All the time


This happens randomly on all planets soI always make sure I've got a camp or two on me. It never happens when I'm riding it, but regularly happens when I'm away from the vehicle (swoop). It also tends to affect everyone I'm with if I'm in a group. We've dismounted for a fight, completed that, turned around only to find all our vehicles missing.


However the most common time for it to happen is when I leave my swoop outside my Guild Hall. Every single time when I come back out it's gone. Without fail. I don't have the exact coords on me at the minute, it's near New Hamburg on Tattoine on the above server, about 1.5k from Bestine.


Most often it happens when I enter a player building to use a vendor.

i have been trying to keep a good track of my vehicle when it does dissapear. what i have noticed is that it will do it MORE if say, i am flying and i start to stop, but run into the building. Example - if i am going to check on my harvesters and i fly up to one, and instead of stopping a few meters away, i just fly up to it, even if i am in the decel mode, and i hit it, it will dissappear. it will do this 8 out of 10 times roughly.

now, it still will do it if i just coast up to it and don't hit it, but the closer you get to it, or any building, they seem to do it more often.


also, i wait about 5 seconds or more to get off the veh. if i don't, and i have very good ping times, and a monster computer, the veh will warp anywhere from 5 meters all the way up to 270 meters. (happened 2 day ago).

that is what i have been watching happen.

Still happening very often - but only once Idismount the vehicle.


I am usuelly using a vehicle for long periods of time. Usually it goes within a few seconds of dismounting (I use the radial menu for mounting and dismounting).


Sometimes it can take a minute or two from dismounting to dissappearing.


I get-on get-off many times while riding about (surveying) but it can happen on a simple run to check a harvester.

I've not noticed it happening in towns.


I am also still getting the "cannot store" bug and "ghost/dupe vehicles" - which the autostore is the workaround for. It would be nice if you just fix the cannot store bug and get rid of autostore - rather than just fixing the autostore bug.

Server: Kettemoor

Location(s): Tatooine, Talus, Naboo, Corellia... probably more if I try hard enough.


Occasionally whenI dismountmy x34 or swoop, the vehicle will disappear but not store. It will leap somewhere further back in my path. My wife and I play SWG together a lot, so I've had a chance to see what happens from her perspective when my vehicle disappears:


She will be following me and when I try to drive through a narrow space -- like an archway or between two trees -- I *occasionally* will stop moving on her screen, but continue to move on my own screen. As far as she is concerned, I am standing perfectly still.


When I dismount, my vehicle disappears and then reappears for me in the spot where my wife sees the vehicle stuck.


Whenever this has happened I have invariably tried to fit through some tight spot.

Still disappearing on me. Was out surveying on corillia and one time when I got of POOF, it was gone. Really annoying.

Almost 80% of the time I get off my swoop, it shoots me forward anywhere from 20 - 100 meters, then often it rubberbands me back towards the bike, but like a rubberband it overshoots the target often and I end up way behind my bike. Last night on Starsider, Talus, I was surveying and got off of my bike with the command /dismount. It shot me forward about 25 meters and I stopped. I grunted unappreciatively and turned to get back to my bike. It disappeared right in front of my eyes. I had to run several klicks to get to a city where I could get it out, as I don't have scout skills.


It also happens to me often when I am shopping. I stop in front of a shop, get off, go in, and by the time I come back out, usually less than3 minutes, it's gone.


On the plus side to this, if it happens, I get my bike back fully repaired.
