For the autoboard shuttle: Place a ticket in your hotbar, target the ticket droid, then loop a macro that uses this toolbar slot. The character will try to use the ticket repeatedly until the shuttle arrives and it works.


Haven't tried it myself, but from what I hear it works well.

10 min wait still !! You have got to be kidding me. If that 10min wait still stands when that publish comes out, I'm out of here !. The rest of those notes, other than the droids, are unremarkable. Wookie armor? Hellooo !I'm finding it hard to stay in this game.

Boo sucky patch, I dunno why some of the de's r happy either. They still havnt gotten any new droids. Modules yea, but no new droids. Did they fire all thier droid artist or sumthing? How hard is it to come up with a way the de's can make the battle droids and use them? Just make the droids have leveles and only de's can usem.

Haven't gone over all the reply's yet.


In regards to the starport wait being 10 min still. I believe this is being done, so when the space expansion comes out, you will benefit more from having a ship. No wait time, and direct travel (this is a guess of course).

I still can't believe we went from the having the Combat Balance then to a bunch of combat tweaks but ended up with nothing at all.



I second that. What can be more important then combat balance? I understand priorities but combat balance is different league. Its entirely out of ladder....


And pushing it tofurther and further publish is simply wrong.

Two comments here:


1) It is absolutely unfair to take away the speeder/healing bug without fixing the garages so the repairs stick. I will gladly pay the repair fee if the repair actually works. More than 50% of the time after I repair a bike and store it, it comes back in the same original broken condition. I guarantee I have wasted at least 30K on repairs that did not stick.


2) I wholeheartedly disagree with the star port wait times at 10 min. I don't understand why our opinions were ignored here. Those who found the wait to add immersion could simply wait for the shuttle graphic to appear every 10 min while those who did not could go ahead and use the droid. I only get an hour or two a day to play SWG and to have part of it chewed up in this way really irritating.

I'm just wondering what was the purpose of this Immersion shuttle thing topic 40+ pages long?


Cause as far as i saw, most of the population wanted the starport wait time downed to 5 minutes. Unless you can buy combined-tickets (from A to C instead of the actual A to B to C).


So please, can mr TH explains us why this 10 minutes was kept like before, contrary to what the most players would like. I must admit that i like going to the bathroom from time to time, but i think i'd better play directly there, putting my pc in the bathroom.

As a proponent for the droid changes and a fromer DE many months ago.. I for one am glad to see they are finally getting some lovin. Though I still think different droid frames should have had diffrent moduals (such as in beta when R units were the only ones that could carry crafting mods, etc). Still though... I remember starting and participating in many, many threads about what mods the devs could add to make the game fun and enjoyable for not only the players but also the DE's. (not sure about the off-planet maintenance droid *shrug*.. think that may be overbalancing, IMHO, but we'll see)


At any rate, I'm a pistoleer, and yes many of our specials are broken. But, I for one am seriously hoping that pistols get a nice revamp in the combat changes coming. Anyone think that it might be just that?? If pistoleer (and others) are getting an overhaul, then there would be no point wasting efforts on fixing it now. Better to just stay put until its ready. The dodge fix will be great though! REALLY happy about that one.

Except for the barker droid, which i expect will reduce lag in theed/coronet, the rest is a useless crap. WHERE ARE THE BUGFIXES?!?

I can't believe I never thought of that one... it's such a perfect description!


...


Like I said before... While Shuttle and Star are both "S" words and easy to get mixed up, this one was important, so please fix your mistake andreduce the STARport wait times to 5 minutes. Thanks!
