It surely is!

I have had more fun playing SWGEmu than any of the MMO's I have played in recent years despite the disconnects, down times, bugs and the occasional lag (it is alpha after all). In fact, my enjoyment of SWG has made me decide not to bother with GW2 at this time. Evidently, the game is attracting more players - - we are hitting server cap frequently at prime time now.

Only downside.. everyone's busted-assed speeders are now really busted.

I knew that was going to be addressed sooner or later (it was stated in a thread I read). Looks like I have to make some new vehicles and start paying attention to timely repairs now. The vehicle market will be booming after the servers come back up...I wish I had enough quality resources to take advantage.

I wasn't too happy about the increased cool-down timer for sampling, but I can live with it.

It is amazing how much the emu devs have accomplished. It is truly impressive. I won't be going anywhere for a long time - - glad I didn't bother pre-ordering GW2.

Do speeders take that badassed iron?

If so I need to get some made with it, maybe they'll decay slower. The repair costs for them at a garage is just plain ridiculous.

Or can you make repair kits?

Alas, there are no repair kits for vehicles that I know of. I agree, the garage repair fees are ridiculously high. A speeder about 2/3 or 3/4 down in 'health' costs like 11k+ credits to repair. I could be wrong, but didn't repairs cost around 5k in the original pre-CU? I suspect player cities will be planting garages ASAP to make some serious credits.

The quality of the resources definitely counts towards the durability of the vehicle, so the better quality, the longer time between repairs. I believe shock resistance is the important stat that will determine the hit points your vehicle will have. Of course, you can just get a crate of disposable (made with grind resources) bikes which would be cheaper in the long run than the costly repairs. This was a common trend back in the old days when aggressive critters/NPC's could easily take out your vehicle.

Thats why I made a Master Artisan. I's rather just make my own vehicles whenever I want them.
