Thread: ID3 Vehicle Garage Placement
It would be REALLY helpful if garages were marked on the HUD (Ctrl-M) map ;o)
You'd probably see that people would discover garages in cities where they previously thought there were none.
It'd also be helpful to place them in oll capital cities, like the "Imperial capital" of Bestine. If Bestine already has one, I've never found it and it just seems odd that main Imperial Points-of-Presence don't have them.
It also feels a little odd that Rebal resupply points like the base on Corillia lack vechicle repair as that seems to have been a major part of what they actually did in the movies.

The garage is cluttered and worn, but a friendly peaceful atmosphere permeates the low grey chamber. Threepio lowers himself into a large tub filled with warm oil. Near the battered Landspeeder little Artoo rests on a large battery with a cord to his face.
There are two burning issues out there on garages:
1. What about Player Garages?
Player garages are in the works and will be in the game in either Publish 7 or Publish 8.
2. Where are the Vehicle Garages?
They are out there, but I went to the devs and said players need more garages, so the question is now, “Where SHOULD there be garages, where there aren’t any?” So post and tell me where you would like to see a vehicle garage. (These are not player garages, but Planetary Cities).

Anchoreheads Toschee station should have one near it, and there should be 1 per Adventure Planet with no build zone.
As for adding anymore just place a catagory in the in the map for a waypoint.
Why add Garages to NPC cities? Just allow Outpost to drop them and I think we'll have enought Garages all over each planet.
As for planets like Endor....I say you take that risk when you go to planets like that.
