Thread: Publish 6 Feedback: Vehicle Customization and Ownership
This change was long overdue. I was about to quit the game because most of the professions are still buggy or broken completely, but now that we can paint.... well, I guess I'll renew for another 1 year.
/burst sarcasm
Yea a standard set of decals would be cool.
Are we going to be able to change names of the bikes?
Also, when will we be able to color all types of armor like the bikes?
Ilike what you guys have done. Congrats.
I would like to present you with the followingsuggestions though.
1. Make both the Frame and Trim color palates identical, so it would be easier to make a solid color vehicle.
2. Also, I noticed some parts of the vehicles dont get painted, like the 2poles that stick out the front on the bikes. It would be nice if those changed color with the frame as well.
3. It would be nice to know your current speed, so you can judge which vehicle is faster over what tereain and slopes. This would olso be a useful feture for when walking and running or using a creature mount.
Thanks

TH...the boards are going screwy again. Old posts from you are showing up as new in teh Dev Tracker.
NO its the archived posts that are showing up if you check the fourm they are in it list teh archived one, even so they should not appear on teh dev-tracker from that forum as new posts!
I got the above straight from the posted publish notes.
Well, unfortunately i wont be able to test the customization tool until tomorrow, my droid storage compartments are in the factory now.
Improved Vehicle performance??? I didnt see a change. What is this improvement? Was this in how much it will cost for repair, or is it the rate at which the condition goes down? I checked the rate. My swoop still took 25 to bring out, the speed bike 13, and Landspeeder 8. Whats the change TH?
Yes I got all 3 vehicles and had no problems getting all 3 into my datapad.
The last still doesnt work properly. When i got to coronet I still had problems storing my vehicles after riding them.
I like it but did you remove the eventually fade away part of the coloring? I mean I am sorry if you hadn't noticed not many people willing to keep pumping money just to keep something a certain color.
Love having three vehicles in my data pad...but.....
I thought we were gonna be able to start pulling them out without a need for a camp?
Sure, Weaponsmiths and Droid Engineers and others require components that are found in the Master Artisan skill box, but many of those people just become Master Artisans themselves to build those things. Artisan is the foundation for these Elite crafting professions, so it's logical that the Elite crafting professionswould use components from the Artisan profession. However, I'm certainly not going to become a Droid Engineer and grind up a skill box just so I can build a Droid Storage Compartment. I'll let you know in case you don't already, but Novice profession crafters don't want to be forced todepend on an Elite crafting profession for single parts to schematics. Remove Droid Storage Compartments from the schematic for Vehicle Customization Kits, and people *might* actually make them. I don't want to waste good quality copper just so somebody can paint their car a different color every other day; I need those goodOQ/CD metals for weapons! If you absolutely must require some kind of statistic for experimentation on a paint can, make it something that is *different* from every other *useful* schematic in the game, something like Decay Resistance. Basically, you get one charge on the Vehicle Customization Kit for every 10% you get from experimentation, so using low quality components yields kits with only 1 or 2 charges. Since almost every ranged weapon in this game requires resources with high Overall Quality and Conductivity (even the ranged weapons that don't fire energy rounds!), I don't see many people justifying the use of those important resources on a simple paint can.

LANDSPEEDERS ARE NO LONGER CRAFTABLE.

Yes they are. I just made a load of them for my vendors.
Of course, now that they seem to be stuck at 1500hp.. along with swoops and speeders... *sigh*
Yes, OceanMoon is right. It was my mistake - but it still doesn't make a lot of sense.
Landspeeders require a Crafting Station, but Speeders and Swoops do not. That's why it wasn't coming up for me.
As you said - doesn't really matter anyway, since new vehicles are stuck at 1500HP.
Lucky for me, I stocked up my vendors before the patch in anticipation of the new demand for vehicles (since anyone can own three), and once that were manufactured pre-patch (even if tamed now) seem to have normal HP levels.
