Havent been able to search due to the incredible search function.

I have been playing with the thought of introducing custom swoop bikes to the game.

Wouldnt it be cool if you could loot/buy upgrades to your bike with the cost of faster decay to pay for it?

Then you would have bigger jets, chopper grips, big a$$ seats, different style coating (not just color) and maybe the option of choosing either speed, performance or looks.

It could become the job of either DE's or master artisans to tune up your ride....


Just an idea....what do you think?


PS: the game engine probably cant handle it, but it would be cool

Are you kidding?!? They already decay too fast. And they get targeted far more often too. Doesn't pay to put any money into customizations if the bike isn't going to last long. Now if they did, well then I can see a market for that, within reason

ignore the grumpy-wumpy behind the curtain.



i think it would be fun! anything that can be customized makes things more fun. i have to agree though, we would also have to have some way to pay to make our vehicles stronger or something. i mean, i would be sad if i pimped out my scooter and a crazed durni totaled it


vehicles are like disposable cameras now...you take one out for some site seeing but don't expect to come back with it, hehe.

It would be cool to customize our vehicles. But the decay rate is insanely fast as it is. And not to mention that your bike can be taken out in one hit. It just wouldn't be worth spending many credits to pimp out your bike, only to have it destroyed my a minor worrt as you drive by.

Be gone!!

Introducing customization like that would naturally call for the ability to apply ADK to bikes and other vehicles. and maybe a restriction so that ADKed bikes cannot be used in PvP....

In an ideal world, I'd like to see Speederbike and Landspeeder customizations coming from the Garages, not looted or crafted by who ever. I have a hard enough time finding paint kitsthat I finally had a friend craft a crate of themfor me so that I have them when I want them and I know right where they are. I know it's supposed to be a player-driven economy, so maybe having them be crafted would be for the best.


While I'm on the subject, I'd like to see the Flare-S Swoop added to the game from Episode 4, the one we have now is the Zepher-G that Anakin rode in Episode 2. (I may have the names mixed up, but I'm pretty sure that's correct)

I really don't see what the deal is with people losing bikes left and right.......


The only planet thats really a high enough level to aggro double master players is Dathomir, and everything on dathomir big enough to aggro is a melee mob. Meaning if your moving they won't even hit you.....


The only ones ranged are the escaped slaves, and they are only level 71 so the radius for aggro is very low. I went within 20m of a group of them and nothing.

we have paintkits for vehicles, droids, ships and can recolour composite (i think...) but what i would like to see for vehicles, armour anddroids are variants on the ship TEXTURE kits to add paterns
