Currently, Travel only links you to locations that you can normally reach by bus from Tatooine. Is this the intended design or is it a bug? Shouldn't the menu available offer the option to travel only to planets that you are currently linked to?

My understanding was that we wouldn't have to use the spaceport anymore but the remote planets aren't available with my Yacht. Will these become available as I progress up the skill tree?

I think u need a hyperdrive to travel unrestricted by planet to planet travel.

I don't remember Travel being an option in Beta, so I'm assuming it's new. Yes, they did say that you could travel to any planet from any planet. But it looks like they decided to make us use the same travel lanes the shuttles use.

On hyperspace, I think all that does is allow you to use the space lanes from space, so you don't have to land on the planet and select "Travel".

Travel is most certainly broken
You can only travel to four planets regardless which planet you start from. The four planet you can travel to are Tatooine, Naboo, Corellia and Lok. You select travel to these planets from Dantooine but you cannot travel back to Dantooine or any planet but those four. This is VERY broken.

The travel option is broken, as it ALWAYS places you in Tattoine, no matter where you are in the Galaxy....thats why you can only travel to Lok, Corelia,& Tattoine.
It was reported numerous times in the Beta, but looks like the Devs never got aound to fixing it. Is a bit of a pain, as means you cant Travel from Corellia to Talus....the only way is to hyper to the near hyper point, and go from there - but thats like 12km from Talus station.
Also Talus does have its own Hyper Point as well (on the Zone Map you can see a Hyper POI - Talus Secta) but its not avaliable on the Hyperspace map. Means major problems for Imp pilots in the Epsilon squadron, especially when you get out of sector missions.

This was reported in Beta, a Dev even responded and said they knew about it and it would be fixed for launch...

The reason for the travel option to be there is this alone:
If the sector of Corellia/Tatooine/Naboo/Lok is too full with players, you wouldn't be able to hyperspace into that sector, thus being stuck (sorta), that's why the devs implemented the travel options so you can skip loading into the full space sectors and directly land on a starport of your choice.
It's NOT meant to travel around as some kind of shuttle replacement.

/rofl !!
Yea, I thought this would be fixed by now too.
Oh well, They'll get to it eventually.
It was a workaround for "can't hyperspace, zone full" errors that would lead to a situation where you would have your ship stuck on a planet and couldn't hyper away. Looks like they didn't polish it up for live.
"known issue" we have here.

There is a "fix" for it, sortof
If you go to a travel terminal, and open it, then hit escape, then go back to your travel screen in the starship terminal, the right planets will show up.
But, if I paid $30 for theirexpansion, why can't I travel from lok to dathomir, or yavin 4 to endor?

I'm not trying to travel out in space. I just want to use my yacht to travel from Tatooine to Dathomir similar to the shuttle-no space travel involved.
I will try the workaround involved though, tomorrow.
