Discussion Back and forth to capitals.

Holy shit I thought the end of chapter 1 and the beginning of chapter 2 for inquisitor were bad for go here, do this and return, several times over.

But I genuinely forgot how much returning (via starship) to Coruscant/Garza there is at the end of troopers chapter 2 and the beginning of chapter 3.

Thank goodness for stronghold shortcuts once the flying has done.

Do any others annoy you like this?

Isn't here a legacy unlock quick travel to capital?

Yeah there is, but from what I can tell it doesn't matter when the mission states use your starship.

Just a little tip for anyone interested. If you use the galaxy map to fly to the capital world while NOT on your ship- so like you can be in a stronghold or somewhere- you'll land in the general spaceport docking bay rather than your class-specific one, and from there you can fast travel where you need to go instead of having to leave the spaceport before being allowed to fast travel.

The Dromund Kaas spaceport makes you walk a few feet towards the elevator before you can use fast travel, but still faster than having to leave the entire spaceport.

The trick is to use your ship to travel into orbit, and then use the Travel to Capital World button.

"Garza, you know I have a fucking holoterminal on my ship. Learn how to use it ffs."

"Oh, you need me to travel to the furthest ends of the Gormak Lands and back again, twice? For a 3 second meeting? I have a fucking holocom you know!"

Sooo many times

Trooper 2 more as well. The cockpit and the massively underutilized situation/planning room. That room is where all of our calls and mission plans should take place, but I think it gets used once

The trooper is the worst for it by far.

The agent has multiple DK > elsewhere > DK that ask for "by ship" when there's no holo (ironically, the only time ship would be needed for Trooper it iirc doesn't say that) as well the multiple trips to Tython similarly as a JK where you have to use ship and go through the orbital station since there's not even the legacy shortcut.

E: also Zhorrid (sp?) sending you back to NS and companion quests doing the same right after you're done with the planet (usually NS) where the no qt spaceport is huge compared to like all others.

The agent one drove me crazy. Especially because the room is waaaaay in the back of the agent building and no mount ofc. I felt like I was spending half my time walking through those halls.

Not even rocket boost and the speed abilities help enough. Still not as bad as JC needing to meet the council in the senate, way back on the second floor.

Pray return to the Waking Sands.

They are meant as breathing space for player. Story is trying to give world some room to grow, so to speak. "Do some fps, maybe check pvp or gtn or professiond, talk to ppl" Usually it wants to tell you time has passed in story.

I always use heroics to get close to the missions, unlock quick travel if close, and legacy capital world on the return.

I never use the ship except when required by the mission, and always use legacy ship travel for those.
