Seriously, mounts are just too slow and there are no tangeable benefits to them other than looking cool.

1) Speederbike

2) mountain dewback - natural

3) female brack - natural

I'm using a BE'd bol that seems to have a mind of it's own

and I recently caught a Cu-pa and bantha just because they are the new trend. Would prefer a wasteland Cu-pa but hey I'll see if I like the cupa first.

One piece of advice, try to judge the wasteland without thinking about the regular cu-pa. The regulars are, imo, just too small to consider if you are taller than your average Bothan. As a non-max-height Twi'lek, my feet would almost touch the floor on a regular cu pa - I would expect some very tall wookies or trandoshans would keep stubbing their toes while riding one. The wasteland, however, is a very nice size for all species andactually looks like it can carry 180lbs without breaking its back.

This is one point I hadn't really considered before droping CH recently, but several of the non-CH mounts are simply too small. A non-BE version of the dewback andbol are just silly (imo) when being ridden by a larger size character. Bantha's are ok, but the new cu pa is also horribly small even when made by a BE. As a great deal of the mount appeal is aesthetic, this is simply another mark against certain mounts making them unpopular. Despite the fact the just riding around on my wasteland kept me playing CH for a full week after I had stopped using it totally for anything else, I would never consider using a cu pa mount as a non-CH because it looks, well, dumb when I am sitting on something that is shorter than I am.

But to answer the original poster, until Publish 7 - speederbike; after publish 7 - wasteland cu pa until 2 days ago; now - speederbike
