OK, so i will never get to use a swoop until I destroy the landspeeder from my datapad?!?!?! That sucks. Why can't i transfer it to someone I trust, deed the swoop, and then trade back with that person?

Can you transfer the old vehicle to someone else?

I am also wondering if it is possible to trade vehicles. I hope so, cause I probable can't afford to use my swoop.

The Dev's were smoking crack when they thought this was a good idea.


I have 3 vehicles, I go to Endor and do missions until all three vehicles are at almost zero. I go to Corellia and get them repaired.


I have 1 vehicle, I go to Endor and do missions until it is almost at zero. I go to Corellia and get it repaired.


I'm not sure how much it is round trip between Endor and Corellia, but its a few thousand, call it 8 thousand. So, to make the same amount of money on Endor with onevehicle, I have to pay an extra 16000 credits.


Which isn't a lot in the grand scheme of things. One more mission, perhaps? If I'm on one of the worlds with a garage, I'm not worried about more than one vehicle.


Simple solution Dev's. Allow vehicles to be redeeded, but only at 100%, just like harvesters. This will allow people to play around on multiple vehicles (and use the one best suited for what they are doing) and not tie them to only one type, and still make people pay that extra 16k credits that are so important to you.

Has anyone found a way to transfer vehicles in and out of your datapad so you can use (one-at-a-time) all three vehicles? Customers ask me what the riding difference is, and I can not honestly tell them, since I can only ride the first one I generated.


If there is no way to do this, then hwy can you deed and have multiple houses? Or multiple pets???

You can only have one vehicle in your data pad at a given time. You have to destroy the current vehicle if you want to try another.

As far as I know there is not way to re-deed your vehicles. This is basically what you are asking. Harvesters and houses can be re-deeded.


I donot believe that this will be available any time soon. It has to do with the issue of owning multiple vehicles. Lets say I want to head to Endor for an extended period of time. If I can use multiple vehicles, I can use one until its condition is low, store it, use another, use another, and then head back to civilization after a very profitable trip and get them all repaired.


This is what the devs are trying to avoid. Using vehicles makes the ability to make credits much easier. So by limiting you one vehicle, you can use it but when it gets low condition, you must take time out of your mission and pay to repair it. So it provides a time and credit buffer to off set the additional money making potential.

I tried all three out, the swoop is nice for the speed but it's doesn't control as easy and it decay fast. The speeder bike, well it doesn't have speed the decay is fast and the control is about as bad as the swoop. Now the land speeder id great it's not the fastest but it holds up better, turns great and the decay is very min. on it. I had mine out last night for a few hours stored it a couple times and brought it back out, when I logged I only lost 15 in the decay.

Tried this the first day. You can trade to someone who has no vehicle in thei data pad. You can not cross-trade.
