I know this is going to sound odd. But i think the starport/shuttleport timer setting of one minute is not needed and actually a bad thing. Im sure some others here will completly disagree. I know people were asking for them all to be like the theed starport but thats not the majority. Starports are places to meet and greet people and have some social interaction. The 10 minute timer was to long the 5 minute is just right. Plus for those who pay the money for JTL for the insta travel this feels kind of like a slap in the face.

Bring out the naked Bothans!!!!
okay, seriously,
(disclaimer, I don't play on TC, these are comments based on the patch notes)
Politician: 2 thumbs up! it's not a huge skill, and even with it taking 0 pts to master I do not foresee a huge influx of new cities. There's still all that maintenance to pay!!!
All purpose Ship repair kit: Fixed experimentation. Thank you!! oh wait.. one more thing.. get it onto the W/D/G tool, not the starship one! 
then it'll be "right"
then it'll be "right"Surveying while mounted: From reports, was suposed to be on pets only, but does in fact work while mounted on vehicles. A welcome change. I, probably like most, just used a dismount/survey/mount macro, and have spent probably hundreds of hours surveying, this will hopefully cut down on the hours it sometimes takes to find just the right spot for harvesters.
60 second starships: UGH! 
why did they change this? ppl were happy with 5 mins, I haven't heard any complianging, or anyone saying it should be cut down further. If someone wants instantaneous travel, just talk to a friend that does have JTL. I've given many rides to my friends, and I really feel it helps promote community and friendship within the game. Just like standing in a starport for 5 mins does. Please crank this back up. Fun for many of us is socialization.

If the maint is gone, and a playe rhas no money in the bank, how long will the house stay condemed for? does it check players cash on hand, to see ifi t's possible to pay for it? Will it stay there indefinatly until the player does have enough money in the bank? If an account is cancelled, does a bldg still go condemed, or just dissapear? Many unanswered questions on this one....
POI Spawns: Definatly happy about this. Certain POI's taking a long time to spawn.... certain POI's with mobs that have recycler loot.......
Krayt Dragon boom: Oh great! more of the filty beasts to kill me! I'm sure the combat types love this one! Perhaps now there'll be less fighting over who's dragon is who's! (hahaha.. who am I kidding)
I'm sure the combat types love this one! Perhaps now there'll be less fighting over who's dragon is who's! (hahaha.. who am I kidding)new player vechile: Awwwww c'mon!!!! seriously.... no one to date has needed one!! we all had to do it the hard way! from the newbie standpoint tho, they'll like it. is it a 1 time deal only? ie if it's deleted or destroyed you are totally unable to get another one?
Quest List: 350 quests in the quest list? not sure what this means... !? i'm only able to do 350, and then that's it? only 350 will be recorded? if that's the case is it new ones, or old ones that stay on the list?
Entertainer changes: Nice changes for the buffs... tho as most ents i've talked to have said "too little too late... the buffbots rule"... have to see it in practice. How much is "substansial increase" to mission? 100 creds? that would be what? a 100% increase..... whatta bout the artisan ones? can they get a little bump?? hehehe
All in all, looks like some interesting changes, and I look forward to it!

Wow I really don't see that as an issue.
If waiting for a shuttle is what you call social time, then don't take the shuttle until you are ready to leave yourself.
Just because the wait time is less, donesn't mean you have to cut your conversaion time down :/
This is the best step forward for the game as a whole, less wait, more game time.

Couldn't have said that better myself. Imagine you get 10 shuttles in average evening. Which is poss if I sorting harvestors etc. and sometimes i dont use my JTL ship cos it pulls my barker droid.I know it doesn't happen often but 5 minute wait x 10 Shuttles = 1 hour max! I know what I would rather be doing

I know I will be less likely to cut my conversation short because I don't want to miss the bus.

They have said repeatedly that this change to the houses is the beginning of the character purges. Now if this is true is still to be seen. Since i have structure im waiting to burn as well. The only other part is that it looks like the character purge will be if the characters been unpaid for 12 months and not 6.
