Force Sensitive Archive

They do seem to target them more often now, I lost two there thursday night and had to run all the way back to science outpost! Talk about a long run.

Yeah the stupid mobs are just using area attacks all day LONG now, sprayin the whole area, and swoops go *BOOM* and the screen shakes. just drag your swoop up to your toolbar and from datapad, and keep it in a button. Its a lot faster. And try this. When you are running and they spray your bike to stop you, as soon as you see your bike start to blow smack your bike button ASAP to store it, I have saved bikes this way. You just have to /burst on, or say screw it and turn and fight, try to damage them as much as you can before incap. Heal up, call buddies whatever, then go kill em. Then go to Kor Vella and call the bike back out, it might still have health left if you stored it super fast. I hate when Sith shoot my bike out from under me out in the woods, how can mobs shoot thru trees and buildings now, and we cant anymore? We used to shoot thru hills lol. You will also lose bikes on Endor if you get attacked by arachnoids and your bike is too close, all they do is spray and spray.

One of my friends while out fighting the other day had his BARC Disabled. I was like....uh dude I think you lost your BARC. He stored it went ot Parking garage and called it out and clicked Repair and it went ot full life w/o costing him anyhting. Is this something so limited edition vehicles don't get blown up since you can't get another or was he just the lucky one who got some bug that helped him out?

Are you sure it was disabled and not just severely damaged?

The way it is supposed to work is BARC's are not repairable at parking garages, they require a special one time use repair kit that can be crafted by Master Artisan (I think its Artisan anyway). The kit requires 1500 asteroid resources so it's a little pricy .. i've seen em as high as 400k on some peeps vendors.

If it was disabled and he repaired it at a garage he found a bug. A bug that saved him 250k - 400k

True that Siths are doing area dmg. Got my swoop disabled yesterday by a Sith, while my swoop was 10m away from me. With area dmg, the Siths then aggro'ed all mobs close to me. Good for him! I almost didn't have to shoot at all

The lag doesnt help either...you get to the village, everything freezes, then after 2 or 3 minutes you just hear BOOM!!!! speeder gone, but alteast you're not frozen in place

And I dont know about on your servers, but on Kauri there are 2 spots along the way from the Sci Outpost to the village where there is a 50 NS spawn. I've never seen so many red dots on my map in one spot. I'll try to take a screen shot and post it, you guys have to see it to believe it. They're mostly rangers and initiates but still 50 of them will kick your a$$ in seconds

Lost 3 swoops there last night...

They need to invent swoop armor as an accessory to the swoops...

Wow, that's a good question. If this remained, that would really hurt the ground vehicle economy for crafters.

I have heard of a certain crafting prof (Artisan or something above that)that has a schem for Barc speeder repair tool or something like that, but haven't confirmed it yet.

I think he just got lucky. The BARC speeder is repairable but it isn't suppose to be by the garage. There is a repair kit made by artisans from materials mined off asteroids. Considering the amount of materials it used and the price you can sell theresources to an NPC for, the repair kits are valued at about 70k for a single use one from what i understand. And with the mining ship not working quite right, no one want to mine the stuff anyway.

And just for the record, its not just the village/sith and its not just the area attacks. You can get just about any NPC down to half health and he has a chance of shooting only at your vehicle. Its seems they have changed the AI to make destroying your speeder a viable combat move.

BARC speeders are repairable at the garage. The tool is to fiix a disabled BARC speeder, not to repair a normally damaged one.

I also agree that it is area attacks which have been doing all the damage to speeders and swoops lately. I had one destroyed by Maulers on Naboo. That made me mad. And on Lok, at the spaceport at Nyms Stronghold, my X-34 was damaged when someone close to me attacked some of Nym's men and they fought back.

actually the vactryl whatnot deals with the hills better than a swoop does. It doesn't seem effected by the terrain at all. Granted at times it wants to walk alongside instead of straight up, but you can force it by holding the arrow keys. I did the entire phase 1 patrol quest in about 2 hours on it. Now I go everywhere with it.
