I had a party of four hunting/sampling Rancors last night. We arrived at a standard Rancor nest with one Rancor, one Youth and something else. Well, of course the night didn't go well andall havoc ensued. My friend feigned death, I died and the others ran off. Then the Rancor goes to my bike and demolishes it (35k down the toilet), then proceeds to run to the feign death'd friend's bike and destroys it as well.

Just a heads up if you're planning a Rancor jaunt: Store the bike first.

Same thing happened to me with a Fambaa! I bled his but, then hung back and waited for him to come charging(So his 3 other Buddies won't come at the same time :smileyhappy Then he b-lined it right to my bike which was about 60-70m away..same distance I was from him. And once they start hitting your vehicle there is no pulling em off until BOOM!!!

Drisst

Store those vehicles

SOE invented a new form of AI... grief AI lol.

FYI, they'll destroy your body too

Yeah, i'm on my second bike. First destroyed by a player, and this one has been attacked by a nightsister and 2 or 3 creatures allready so I'm being much more careful now.

I've had a land speeder destroyed by a Bark Mite Burrower and a Swoop blown up my a Arachne Widow...

Now I just keep a spare so I'm not stranded 5k from a shutlle while sampling.

It's cause it's being recognised as a pet. Thats why it has a 'master' tag on it so the AI is looking at the bike and thinking it's an allied pet which needs to be crushed. Might be a bug or it might be intentional.

oh I'm sure its intentional.

hell of a cash money sink

And you can't store a destroyed bike and bring it to a garage? Yikes **edit**. Guess I won't be using mine anymore.

i can't remember the last time i aggro'd something and it headed straight for my pet ... wouldn't it be nice if aggro actually worked that way ...
