Howdy all,

I would like to propose that the DEVs make vehicles safe zones where we can not be attacked. This would allow pure entertainers or pure crafters to explore SWG safely. At the moment we can not attack from a vehicle, so I don't see this as a ballance issue. It would be great to be able to explore in safety.

What do you guys think of this idea?

I think this would be a great idea for pure non-com's ... however, I can tell you what the "balance" issue would be. Currently in PvP or in BH vs Jedi a player's vehichle is attackable. This is a tactic commonly used in these encounters - take out your enemy's speeder so he can't run off. I think that making vehichles safe zones would give people one more tactic for griefing - they could put a bleed or DOT and then a KD/Dizzy on their opponent then hop on their bike - making retaliation impossible and just watch their opponent die. So.. probably not gonna happen. Sorry

Mmm...did not think of the combat 'tactics' of the combat types... How about if you start combat then you can't get back in your vehicle until the combat is resolved? That does not seem too hard to do.

would resolve the above tactic... however would cause a new problem for US lol - what if you are standing at your harvestor/factory and get attacked by some nasty red-dot critter. If you can't hop on your vehichle while in combat then ... you would die.

Ah...you can operate your harvesters from a vehicle...they would just have to add placing a harvester or structure from a vehicle. They already added surveying from a mount/vehicle. So, should not be too hard to add placing a harvester.

Also, they have made it so you can place a structure and craft while mounted. I think making vehicles "safe zones" would be a great idea. Or, possibly have something craftable, like a shield generator for the vehicle, that only crafters and ents are qualified to use. I know we can equip PSGs, but this could be something more powerfull, that would block more than energy.

a thought ... if your combat rank is less ... like how they have medicines ranked ... possibly maybe you get aggroed less. If we go play on Dathomir ... I would be saddened by "safe zones" ... would make more sense to just lessen the threat to us a bit. When my master Tailor goes to Dathomir she gets a buff for the reason of it being insafe now. The cities are even unsafe at times with roving thugs and stuff ... but it makes it rather fun in game.

Howdy all,


I have this thread in multiple forums...In the Musician Forum it is leading to an option that can be toggled at a City Garage called 'Safari' on the radial menu of the vehicle. Once chosen the Safari mode locks you into your vehicle and activates the 'Safe Vehicle Mode'. To get out of this mode one must return to a Garage and return the vehicle to standard mode.
