man... guys this rules but the three pets you needed were cu pa (seeing as its apparently a relative of the ton-ton) the dewback /claps and the bantha i've already seen mount ready banthas ... ive been killed by em too..... stupid tuskens.

i think i might be the first person on this thread to reply that has a mount on the normal servers

here is a little thing i think are astouning about mounts

1. i got on in the after noon talk to guild and moved to our new city, went back in to town to try and find a mount, as soon as i get within the range of shouts in the city i hear "is any one selling a kadu, spat, or dew back... paying 200k(or some where in that vacinity)" either its me or people realy like these mounts, the creatures that they use fer mounts at most sell for no more then 10k at max and as soon as they get mount command they acumulate a 190k price tag add.

every master ch i see in my travels since the mount & player city patch i usualy ask them why they charge that much, they reply "because people are idiots and have way to much money",

maybe 1 way to lower the cost of the mounts people are willing to buy, is to make the command to train mounts at a lower lvl of ch.

2. i look at my dewback i bought and i see the bags on his saddle, i think to my self, are they thinking of adding item slots on our mounts just like droids. and maybe if i store a tuskan rifel, for example, will it show up on my mount avatar, i also think that when a CH creates a mount he should have to have a saddle in his possesion( perhaps crafted by a Tailor, and used newer cloth modifiers made by a Bio Enginer to give a scence of effort put into to mount , maybe it would give the mount special abbilitys like speed, endurance (longer galoping time) or terrain manuvering (i noticed that when on a mount he moves resionable slower up hills or has a dificult time staying in a streight line, as aposed to the scout skill exploration) all of which could be crafted by a Bio Enginer and added to it during the crafting prosess makeing a variontion in prices' in mounts or different qualitys of mounts. and maybe the saddles could be interchangeable not resulting in count less times of looking for a mount

3. also it might be a cool idea for a mount , such as a kadu, to have better manuverability or speed since it is its home world, each other pet have a coresponding planet where it can be used to have a stat buff permently when on its home planet. all of which should have diferent attributes some pluses some not so good ones. but all together relatively equal, untill the player get something like master ch which they get a pet mount that is awsome on every planet but cant be traded or sold only for those who have taken the time and should be rewareded

and now for my second discussion about droids and vehicle's

seeing as the number of pets in groups and the decline of droids being used in combat to me is very pathetic

after seing movies like episode 1 and episode 2, i mean the trade federation had tons of different droids destroyer droids and what not and when i see the only 1 droid being used and it still sucks compared to all the creature handler pets that people use is very uneven

i sugest maybe makeing the droid schematics for fighting droids a lot bigger and maybe making a squad leader able to control a Platoon or a group droids like 7 or 8 droids , like the ch skill mod but refering to droids instead of creatures maybe give the oppotunity to make a set of battle plans a squad leader can input into a droid makeing them act on there own with there ai but still have to count on power supplys so people could not stay at one position and have droids attack every thing and not alow them to grind exp for too long

i just got another idea by watching episode 2 as i type this

you could for fun , have some of the SOE employees play important rolls in the galactic civl war like generals that actualy converse with some of the players maybe 2 fer each server

ok thats it fer my post and just so you know i am not that good with gramar and i tried to do my best when writing this so please just try as hard as you can to comprehend it

soon to be Bio Engineer

this is hammit again just wanted to say make more mount capable creatures like 2 for each plantet an average on and and advanced on (advanced on for ch only or something)

Mounts are cool and all.. BUT WHAT ABOUT ALL OF US PEOPLE WHO CAN'T LOAD INTO THE GAME BECAUSE OF THEM NOW?! we have been posting a lot and no one is saying anything.. I have basically lost my main character until someone does something about this!
