I hate to post this here to ask for help from Sony, but it seems I will never get any help in game after SEVERAL CSR help tickets sent in and all I ever get are replies that say basically 'Sorry we cant do a blasted thing, send in a bug report and we might figure it out'. So heres the deal.


I go to redeed my shuttleport and it creates a new deed in my backpack and the droid, ticket terminal, and structure temrinal vanish. Basically it makes the shuttle a 1 way port then which is very frustrating. Now for the really nasty part. I can stand there all day typing /destroystructure and get deed, after deed after deed of shuttleports in my backpack. Yes I actually sat there for an hour or so thinking maybe it just had duped itself on top of itself a dozen or so times... Well 120 deeds duped and destroyed later I gave up and logged out after NO CSR came to help and the situation never changed.


So my question is this. Is Sony going to fix this problem? If so when? Why cant a CSR or some Game Master just come to my city and delete the stupid thing for me, how hard is that? Oh, and do CSR's actually do anything? I have YET to see one in game or even talk to one in a private tell even for issues in game yet others seem to be able to talk to these mysterious people that to me seem to do nothing to help.


Sorry if I seem a lil ticked off but this is rather poor service for a game we all pay to play, when a 6+ year old game like Ultima Online if you have an issue, you can actually get a responce that day even if it is a few hours, someone always responds to you in person [be it face to face in game or a private tell].

Pfft!! It's called job security. If they fixed the bugs they wouldn't be needed.

Honestly, I feel for you. Keep hammering away one day one of them will weaken and help you out.

Same thing just happened. Tried to pull up a garden several time.s Have quite a few Naboo shuttleports and a useless placed shuttleport in our city with no terminals or droids. We are also notlisted on the map.

player cities seem very bugged. I too have this problem in infinities Mos Krayt.


I wanted to mvoe the shuttleport slightly. so i destroy structure, confuzed that the shuttleport is still there, with droids and terminal still i just happen to turn around and notice that my bank has gone. I look in my inventory and find the bank deed. so when i tried to redeed the shuttleport using the shuttleports structure terminal, it redeeds my bank 50m away. I place my bank and try again, this time the shuttleport stays in the same place, with droid and ticket terminal still there. but i now have a shuttleport deed in my inventory. I decide the shuttleport is good where it is, a few days later I look at the ctrl + v map and notice that mos krayt doesnt have a shuttleport. but we can freely travel to and from the city via its "secret" shuttleport. It shows up fine on the ticket terminal maps just not the ctrl + v one. I can still change the ticket prices. the ironic thing is that since this ha happened we have not experienced any dissapearing acts from the droid and terminal after a server reset. I am scared to delete the deed in my inventory incase its somehow linked to our shuttleport.


I think because of this dissapearing free shuttleport I will leave the deed in my backpack and not mess with the shuttleport ever again i dont want to jinx its run of luck.

Let me tell you of an experience from a couple of nights ago ... you'll see how it's connected.


I place a garden near to our shuttleport, but footprint on either structure isn't touching. I look at it, think "Hmm, needs to move a bit" and use the GARDENS terminal to destroy re-deed it. But the garden stays where it is. "Odd", thinks I, and have a look in my inventory ... where I find a deed for a SHUTTLEPORT ! Turns around slowly ... shuttleport still there - but no droid or travel terminal !


[Description of my reaction at this momenet has been deleted so as not to offend a family audience]


I see if I can place the shuttleport deed. Yes I can - just not over the original (useless) structure. I have a look at the planetary (ctrl+v) map ... acording to this, our town has no shuttle. At this point, one of our citizens arrives at there, having just got a shuttle in ...


At this point I'm thinking (with all respect to "The Eagles" as I slightly misquote their song) that we have the "Hotel California" - you can check in but you can't check out.


So, I raise a CS ticket and go to bed ...


Later the next day (and after server reset - not sure if that's relevant) :-



  1. Ifind I have a town generated email saying that our shuttle is nolonger under threat (it never was ... we have way over 55 citizens and it's well within town boundries)

  2. Our shuttleport has it's droid and terminal back and appears to be fully functioning.

  3. The garden is still there.

  4. I still have a shuttleport deed in my inventory.

  5. Acording to the planetary map we still don't have a shuttle in town.

  6. If I use the structure management terminal on the garden and go to destroy, it still says "SHUTTLEPORT"

Gosh, how I love this game and all it's many interesting quirks.

Shuttleport is bugged... /destroystructure will give you the deed and remove the ticket vendor and collector until server restart... it is fixed in Publish 7... confirmed by CSRs last week... in patch notes on test center currently...
