I have the feeling that this question has been asked a lot. So please humor me.
Why 10 player city shuttleports per planet?
Why not more?

/agree - it is way too low. If you have a city why not a shuttle? Coruscant anyone?

Answer: So having and maintaining and paying for a large city has some advantage, and there is competition for those top city shuttle port slots.

Which is rather moot when the challengers can't unseat the incumbants.

Shuttles SHOULD be available to all cities village and above. Denying them shuttle service is like saying you will not allow bus service to certin neighborhoods. I mean, the Lake Retreat even has a shuttleport. And it is only supposed to be a former estate come royal vacation destination!
Shuttle should be allowed for all villages and above to encourage player cites expansion... and to promote them to be farther away from static cities.
What SHOULD be exclusive to cities and metropolises is star port access.

While I DO think that the limits of 10 or 25 per planet are too low, I DON'T think any PC should be eligible for a shuttle. If you think the number of towns is out of hand now, imagine how it would be if they were all capable of travel. Right now guilds need to sometimes combine with others in order to get a city large enough to reap the benefits of a shuttleport. But if any ten member guild could get a shuttleport then we would have planets with almost no non-city areas left, other than no-build zones. Ick.

The only thing that would change is you would see more shuttles, the cities wont change, they are already there.

I disagree. Say you have a city made up of three guilds that joined together so that they could have a home with a shuttle. Now if suddenly every city (outpost, I suppose) could have a shuttle from day one I would bet that those three guild would each form their own place. Keep in mind that, to the best of my knowledge, there is no limit on size one cities.

My point-o-view is simple. Right now.. most player cities on the major worlds are clustered too close to the static cities. Notwithstanding the limitations of making them attactive places to live, shuttle service seems a nessary to encourage settlements in more remote places. So what if every village has a shuttleport. It is simply one more desitination that you see on your shuttle-port drop down box. Maybe on the overhead map only the ten largest cities appear (that should still hold true for cities appearing on the planet map). Unless there is some serious adverse server issue (which there should not be) this simple feature should not be seen as taking away from larger cities as much as expanding choice and opertunity for those whos ambitions are not for the metropolis level but the mid ranges.
There should be better incentives for Metropolis's and cities... other then shuttle service. Star Port service seems prime!

As I read it, people don't want to raise the _city_ amount cap. just the cap on who gets to have shuttles. =) So people would still have to band together to form a city, said city would however have more draw for more people to move in as they have easy travel access. ^^

I beleive the problem is that the citizens number does not update. the asnwer is that there should be a charachter purge or a disqualification of citizenship if you do not log in for x amount of time.
