I know one of the things I’ve seen discussed on the TOR Forums over the years, has been “how come the Spaceports are instanced?” Â I know on a PvP server especially, there would be people who would think it’d be fun to jump people as their disembarking (and, I can see where it could be).. Â but, because of the scale BW is using to keep things seeming realistic.. Spaceports gets instanced.. Â To show the scale.. here’s my Bounty Hunter, and her Companion.. standing next to my StarShip (Which, by the way BW.. I want to be able to NAME!, plzkthxbai!)
To fit a full planet’s worth of these things in an ‘open’ space port.. it’d make the SpacePort HUGE.. and people would end up spending 30 minutes running across the SpacePort.. which would be not fun.
