When your flying pets (Mynoks) can't keep up with your Brackaset ..... something is wrong. Basically it's impossible to hunt with a tough pet grouped with you and your mount, because you have to stop every 20 seconds to let the tough pet catch up. Ridiculous.

It appears that no pet, regardless of skin, can keep up with a mount now. Has anyonetried trailing a peko, reptilian flyer, or lantern bird behind them on a mount? I used to be able to travel on a swoop or AV 21 and have a peko keep pace.

Last night I did some experimental faction missions on Tat out of Mos Eisley, and my gurreck (!) could not keep up with me on a wasteland cu pa traveling on level ground. Naturally, it got worse as I hit broken terrain.

The cats also appear to have slowed own in battle; the gurreck used to be lightening fast when given the attack command to get to the mob and start the mauling process. Now it sort of moves in at rancor speed. Which means the rancor will get more work, because the main advantages of the gurreck (slightly higher HAM, speed) are gone.

This bug should be issued right away as it is extremly anoying and screws up combat, Also, you have to continueally store and recall your pet because it barley can follow you.

I documented this behavior in this thread.

where I presented the actual speeds of vehicles and mounts (pre-CU).

In my tests after the CU, I noted that unmounted pets had slowed down to the speed of a running person.
