Newbie CH here, and I have a few questions on how mounts compare to vehicles.

1) Are mounts as fast as vehicles?
2) Can you leave mounts unattened while in combat, like you can with Vehicles?
3) Do mounts pick up your TEF like vehicles do?
4) Do mounts require any kind of maintenance like vehicles do (I.e. food)

Any other thoughts on mounts vs. vehicles?






1) Mounts are not as fast as vehicles (dang it).


2)You can leave mounts unattended in combat using the stay command, or you can have them attack, guard or follow with those commands.


3) I really don't know, but I think it would depend on whether or not you are grouped with the mount.


4) as long as the mount is unhurt (undamaged) it does not require "maintenance", If it has been fighting it may have been damaged fed (anything you can eat) or to heal the creatures mind it will need to do a "trick" (one of the trick commands) that will temporarily lower your mind Stat.



The CH community is trying to get the dev.'s to put in a mount that is at least as fast as a T-34, but so far that hasn't happened.



Please note that I'm fairly new to CH as well, so to the community if any of the above is incorrect please let him (and me) know.

Thanks for all the responses.

Man. Not to open old wounds or anything but I remember the first time I left SWG CH was THE profession to be. The term pokeman was thrown around like crazy and you couldn't go anywhere without seeing a zoo of creatures. While I thought CH was too much back then, it definitely appears that the CH profession got beat with the nurf bat a bit more than necessary.

Just got my swoop blown up from underneath me last night by Nightsisters, Mounts don't get blown up. Being 3k away from any shuttleport on Dathomir can suck when your vehicles get disabled. It's a long dangerous walk. Thank goodness for my Giant Carrion Spat.

My opinion is that mounts are classier than the very common vehicles. You disagree in a very sarcastic manner.

That makes me a miserable gimp in need of happy pills?

For a senior forum member who puts together some superb posts (as well as posts that I disagree with), your aggression aimed towards those that disagree with you (in particular me)sickens me.

And may I add that such personal attacks are most probably discouraging people who may have been tempted to start posting on the forum from bothering to do it.

Sky, hatchet buried, I shall endeavour to remain a little (or a lot)more optimistic, however I will have no qualms about stating my disagreement to a post if I disagree with it !

What I will do is attempt to word my posts in a way that will avoid causing either yourself (or anyone else) any confusion as to what I am trying to say.

As I said, I was in favour of Pluto's suggestion re Thunderheart (albeit pessimistic). Anyways, work to be done, have fun.

LoL hey I like riding and it's okay to disagree with me. Sometimes my humor is not understood.


May the force be with you Lib.



....and then no matter how hard we get nerfed, we still keep CH because we are still some of the coolest characters on the game.

about the PVP TEF question, your pets are overt if you are overt, and if you get a TEF then they get a TEF.

Post just to post? My dear dear jopenack, every post here has meaning, it's not hear just because we feel the need to post. It is hear because we feel strong...NAY....are PASSIONATE about our profession. We do not simply post drivel just for the sake of posting. I am ashamed of you for thinking such a terrible thing....for shame...for shame...


oh, F.Y.I. 18 more posts till I have 1000 posts.


(disreguard the post, it's all in fun and just had to get another post in. lol TAKE THAT SKY!)
