Gee if you disable their reactor or weapons why bother getting away? 
My tip: If you have a low-end pc (like me) and it takes you 30 min to walk out of a star port or to walk by theed starport, just use this nifty trick. Mostly the sluggish loading is due to memory shortage on yoru vid card. To solve this, dont give it as much to laod! 
Simply press Ctrl+M and zoom to first person. Then, look stright down. The only thing your vid card loads is the ground! You can actually make use of a speeder in cities now!

just ALT-ENTER.. touching CTRL won't work..
on that note, CTRL-ENTER will open and close your main chat window..

Maybe that's what all of the miscommunication is coming from? Perhaps the CUwould have come earlier?
I'm not flaming, just making an observation......

This is a great command for older or slower machines. I have this as a macro called flush and have that bound to ctrl + F and it makes a big difference when landing in coronet

Here is a fun macro that can make life a little easier.
If you drag your speeder bike from your data pad to a toolbar slot, you can use this macro to call it and mount (with a little jump to make it look a bit more realistic).
Bind this macroto a key and it makes calling your bike and getting on it very quick (lag and other speeders being around permitting).
/ui action toolbarPane04;
/ui action toolbarSlot08;
/ui action toolbarPane00;
/pause 1;
/tar speeder;
/jump;
/pause 1;
/mount
Here, I have my speederbike swoop in toolbar 3, slot 7. You can do the same for other vehicles by just changing the "/tar speeder" line to AV-21 for example.
And a handy tip, you can buy the new speed and accuracy stims cheaply from the bazaar (on most galaxies), go to a bazaar terminal, select Entire Galaxy then drop down Misc and Item and you can buy cheap speed and accuracy enhancements for your profession.
Also, while you are here, have a browse through Misc > Clothing Attachments and order by auction time, (longest time remaining, and therefore newest itemsat the top) you can sometimes pick up some bargain CAs and AAs if you look at the right time.

Probably worth pointing out that a ship that has been disabled only stays around for so long - after a few minutes of being disabled, it will just blow up and you won't get any XP or loot.
Very true, but if you happen to be close by when it goes, you get the XP and, I think, the loot, too.

I wish that I could continue thinking that everything has a purpose, to someone, but this?
This is displayed in the little text and picture area above the loading bar when you are going from planet to planet, or planet to space, or space to space.
Why can't they give us something that we have never known about? Perhaps they could show us how to roleplay better? I liked the post about changing entertainer colors and special effects, but this is hardly a tip...

Only 1 small problem with your macro...
It will call the speeder... but only if you put it in slot 9(F9) I am not SURE, but the toolbar may be #5 too.... Not sure how the panes are numbered....
(Option Base 0 and all.....)
