At last! Hopefully with JTL shuttle waits will be a thing of the past.

I missed the shuttle two days ago 5 times by less than 30 seconds. So I'm VERY happy.

They are trying to keep lag down in coronet by getting people in and out quicker.
Good fix though.

It's called diversionary tactics, and you're all falling for it.

All of dantooine is laggy unfortunately.. they need to do something to limit the player structures I think. Back before player cities dantooine was not laggy at all.
Ive also noticed recently that other starports are more busy than they used to be. Nowdays I often see 10+ people in tyrena when I go through there.. and other places that are relatively "out of the way" in the past are now seeing more and more people.

Not true - the lag really started when they instituted the jedi quests up there from the old jedi temple/quenker cave. That's when the planet really started to lag, AFAIR.

This must be the nice surprise they were talking about adding last week.

========================================================
Just like Vehicles and Mounts did not get rid of planetary shuttles, JTL will not get rid of interplanetary shuttles.
When traveling from one point to another on a planet, you can choose to wait up to 5 minutes on a shuttle or hop on your speeder and go overland.
Shuttle has a wait but travel is instantaneous. It bypasses the environment in between the two cities.
Vehicles can leave immediatly but must interact with the environment.
Shuttles bypass PvE, vehicles are effected by PvE.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The same decision will be made in JTL. You can wait up to 5 minutes and get instantaneous travel to another planet. Or pull out your ship, wait for load screen to get to space. Travel to hyperspace jump point while interacting with the environemnt. Travel to the other space zone (load screen is possible). Travel from the hyperspace jump point to the planet while interacting with the enviroment. Land (probably another load screen).
For simple travel, it will most likely be quicker to use the shuttle even with the max 5 minute wait. If you plan to fight pirates, inteact with cool stuff in space, then your ship may take longer but be a better choice.
