fficeffice" />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).

It is more a problem of finding them. It would be nice if player garages were in easy to locate areas or show up named on maps.


Place them right outside of every starport or the shuttleports so they are easy to find and that would alleviate the problem.

if you put one beside each starport, you can globally say they are there.


Having driven to Florida down the I95 its rather obvious vehicle repair should be along major high traffic areas.



and even lower cost ones should be further out from ther.

Master LightSaber 15,280,000 exp / 1000 exp = 15280 Rancors for Master LS

I think near the starport in any given city is ideal!


Noone has trouble finding the garage in Kor Vela...

I actually don't think there should be one in Anchorhead because it is such a small community but Bestine should have a garage..why would the planetary capital not have a vehicle garage?

I would say every town that has a shuttleport should have a garage somewhere. Maybe some places that only have a starport (Nym's?) From what I've seen most of them are on the edge of town and I've been able to find them just by riding around town, so keep that same theme IMO . Putting them in /find would help also.

Good news about player garages. I think there should be a vehicle garage on Dantooine and maybe Dathomir. I hate having to go to Corellia just to get my vehicle fixed because most of the time i miss the shuttle going back and have to wait 10 minutes

Bestine - I'll be damned if I can find one. They are always good next to a shuttle port as the first thing you do when you get off a shuttle is call up the Vehicle - if you are in the proximity of a garage, then you can repair easily.

I may be wrong, but, I don't believe garages show up on the planetary map. Fix this and allow me to set a WP for one and I could care less where you put them.

Put them on the map and make AT-STs repairable at garages.

i'd like to see a small settlement on the advanced planets (think jawa fortress/mos taike) some little community/camp that all it pretty much has is a garage. a waystation out in the wilds, not the default outpost/starport.
