What's up with having to "travel" using the same method as shuttles? I would think that if you own your own ship you should be able to "travel" from any planet, to any planet. After all, you can hyperspace from any system to anyother systemif you're in space. And since there are no credits being used it seems to only serve as a time sink.

I know that all starship terminals are acting as if you are on Tatooine regardless of where you are. I also know that the work around is to access the ticket terminal, hit ESC and then access the starship terminal. However, it appears that the system is use (when working) is the same as used by the shuttles.

If the intention is to use that system then I don't understand why. If the fix will include travel to anywhere, from anywhere then YAY! (I know that was the way it was in beta... just hope they stick to it.)

It's bugged in the sense that it keeps resetting itself to think that you are on Tatooine. The original idea was for it to replace a Starport jump. If you are going farther than one port, just jump into space and hyperjump, much quicker.

I believe it was mentioned that the reason the travel option is limited to just the starter planets is for new players and their starter ship. I think some of the starter missions requires travel to some of the other starter planets and their starter ship does not have hyperdrive so the travel option allows them to move their starter ship to the new planet since they can't hyperspace there and move it. I am hoping they allow travel to all points direct as this may would be a less load on the servers rather than people having to actually load into space then hyperspace to the planet and then land. I would think that the travel option would be less of a strain on the servers possibly.

The "travel" feature is, in fact, available from all starports. It appears, that if they weren't bugged, they would be giving the same locations to travel to as the shuttles do. I know you can get into space and then hyperspace to any planet.

My request is to have the "travel" feature in starship terminals work so that you can go to any starport, from any starport. (It's really quite an easy request to understand.)
