Hardly anyone uses mounts anymore since speeders were introduced. The speedgap is so vast between the two methods of transport, as to make mounts a very second-class form of travel.
Currently gallop works like burst-run, but how about a change in the time it takes for your mount to get tired and then recover. I don't see this as a major issue to be exploited, as currently you can't attack while galloping anyway so would just be used to get from A to B.
Increasethe time to a worthwhile amount, and make recovery time based on how long your mount was galloping (say 10% of the time you were galloping for?)
I just want to see mounts being much more useful than they currently are. I already know speeders are being exploited due to the 'free' repair bug, but as a form of travel i feel mounts would still be very rarely used even when this is fixed.

MOst people can't see mounts beyond what they are just mounts. Mounts are more than a mode of transport, it's a pet. When you get knocked off your bike, you're on your own. With a mount, you have something that you can possibly sacrifice for keeping your skin alive.
SOme mounts have longer burst run than others. As they stand what needs to be done to mounts is make more of them available to the non-CH. The current ones can't gallop for very long.
Something needs to be done but making them all faster I don't think is the solution.

None of the mounts at this moment move really fast. Thats why alot of people use vehicles to get away from creatures or mobs. In another post i had stated the fact that when my GSP is included in my group and I'm using my speeder to get tomy bountytarget 4k meters away, the GSP follows fairly well behind only dropping a little bit of distance. Now if thats a normal run for them, just think of how fast they could travel using gallop. Anyway my whole argument is to have GSP's added as a mount in furture publishes.

I have to agree with the others on this boardwho have stated that mounts will make a comeback once the repair exploit is removed from speeders. I always repair my speeder, and I know that i can easily spend 2-3K a day if I'm running arounds a planet and leaving it out all the time, that gets expensive! I also like the idea posted here for gallop. Although my lvl 10 backarast (sp?) mount gallops for quite some time as it is. Another thing is BE pets(don't flame for bringing them up, I do both), I think if people realize that they can have something to ride, and then fight with there will be more demand. And yes, I know that "true" CH's hate to train BE pets, but it is a way to make money.
