Thread: Are you happy with Mounts?
Actually, once I hit Management 4, my speeder's been rotting in my Dpad. I got 2 artisans on another server, both stuck with speeders since I don't know a CH. Eh. I don't see the appeal for speeders or swoops, to be honest. IF I could have my speeder scout armor craftable (and NOT faction armor please, I seen Rebs in green suits of it too, so both sides have it) then I MAY want a speeder bike. Just for the looks. Otherwise, keep the things. I, for one, ain't usin a shuttle exploit. I think anyone who is should be banned, quite frankly. And, for another, I get tired of the clouds of smoke, the fact I get shot to Helsinkey by stupid little Evil Hermits because I can't even shoot back, and my brac mount, I can cross most rivers AND shoot, because the thing is so freakin tall it rarely swims.
One thing I am sick of...EVERY update so far, CH has gotten whacked with the nerf bat. And, every time, they bust it to peices so nothing works. I've been grinding artisan, because even sitting behind a crafting window for 4-5 hours a night is less frustrating than dealing with my idiot pets autostoring, running in random directions, or whatever. Oh...and you Devs owe me a Graul too. Mine teleported straight down during a tusken run, and was shot down to FOURTY vitality, from NINETY SEVEN. I /bugged it, I sent in a report, and nothing. Frankly, I'm waiting for WOW now, one thing Blizzard can do, is keep me hooked in a game (I still play Diablo2 and Warcraft 1,2,and 3.). Don't want Pokewars? then TAKE THE FREAKIN CH OUT AND BE DONE WITH IT! I, for one, am sick and tired of gettin the shaft.

It still amazes me that people still don't "get it" and choose to run to their missions on foot instead of getting a mount.
Um you answered your own question right there.
CL30 mount
Non CH mount = CL 10
non-ch creature mounts don't have to engage in combat. they just have to stay when you give it the stay command, and come when you give it the follow command.
voritor hunting groups would get through their missions faster if everyone had a mount to ride, instead of running on foot as is the current method.

I sure hope the devs read some of these threads on mounts. There have been a lot of excellent ideas thrown out there on ways to make mounts more appealing. I believe that changescan be made such that, at the very least,people would want to have both a mount and a vehicle on hand in order to deal with different situations. Possibly the biggest thing that can be done to make pets more attractive is fix that shuttle exploit.
Oh, and to answer the original question. I like my mount (brackaset),primarily because I feel more like I'm roleplaying as a CH.I use a vehicle when I need to travel long distances or need to get some where fast, but I'm happy with my mount. I'd be really, really happy if they wouldmake one of those surefoot brackasets a mount - would love to have a level 46 (whatever it is) mount. Great resists too.
Thanks for the reminders on the good points of mounts, people. 
- Mounts can fight for you, although non-CH characters may want to learn to /taunt.
- You can still fight to an extent from a mount's back.
- Mounts can increase your mission levels if you want.
- Dead or Incapped mounts don't become disabled.
- Mounts don't decay nearly as fast (vitality).
- You can'trepair vehicles out in the field.
- Mounts' speed isn't all that bad at a gallop.
- You can name a pet and /target it by (name). Good for macros, try "/target speederbike"within200m ofanyone else's.
Of course, there's always room for improvement.
