say for example you want to travel from tat to rori using your luxery ship. use the travel option to travel to naboo.
when you hit naboo then go back to your starship term and use the fly into space option.
once in space use the CTRL-V function to bring up your map. then select the rori space station and fly there.
This was submitted as a bug in beta. I've hear a the same reasons as to why it was put in, and the frustration it causes is a lot better then being stuck on dathomir because the population is too heavy on tat. I'm just wondering Gawzeera, why don't you just hyperspace to the closest point to the Rori spacestation from your current planet. It only takes more time to travel to Naboo first, then hop into space.

Had'nt thought about doing it that way. lol 
but i did'nt mind doing it the way i mentioned when i was in the beta because once i got into space at naboo i'd just stick my ship on autopilot to the rori space station then get up, go down stairs and sit at my SW crafting station and make something.

It sounds like a good idea to me if the devs want to restrict the use of the travel option for the higher level planets.... But, I don't think this is the intention for the travel system at them moment.

You can not "Travel" to Yavin, Dath, Dantooine, or Endor.
You must Hyperspace to those.

It has to be a bug, because I opened my yacht from dantooine and flew to corillia, but I can't fly back and I have the same flight restrictions as you have said here. I hope it gets fixed cause I'm tired of leaving my ship on corillia, when flying home to dant.

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?

No but the famous 1-star dork has hit again
No clue what fun they have on 1 starring everything.
Edit: Yay I knew I would attract this dork.And now guess what I don't care. Lets guess how long it lasts until your 1 star is brushed off?

Definately broken.
When they first put it in, in beta, you click travel and could gonon-stop to any starport on any planet from any starport on any planet.
A few publishes later, the travel terminal started to think it was the tatooine starport system.

I am not sure that travel is broken. From what it looks like to me, it is just that you have to use hyperdrive to go to planets "out system". Corellia has certain planets that are closer and they are "in" that system. Ohter planets are far away and they are "out" of system and therefore you need a hyperdrive or hyperspace capability to travel there.
Maybe I am wrong. If so, someone please correct me.

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.
Thetemporary fix for the full sectors issue was actually the menu that let you land at any city from any space station, and launch from any starport to any space station.
The travel option is a whole different animal. It is indeed meant to be a shuttle replacement.

Why is it that I can't travel to Talus but I can travel to Lok?

Rori and Talus are bugged. You can Hyperspace to them though.
