So, you're diving into the complex world of ship customization in Star Wars: The Old Republic, but something's amiss. You've invested time and credits into your favorite speeder, yet it's not appearing as a decoration in your stronghold. Let's explore the 5 key reasons why your speeder might not be functioning as expected in your galactic home, and how to fix these issues.
1. No Stronghold Decorator
The first and simplest reason your speeder won’t appear as a decoration is if you’re not in decorator mode. Here’s how to enable it:
- Navigate to your stronghold or the one you’re trying to decorate.
- Access the Stronghold Management Terminal or speak to the NPC responsible for managing decorations.
- Select “Enter Decoration Mode” from the options.
Once in decorator mode, you’ll be able to place and manage your speeder as a decoration.
🔑 Note: Always make sure you’re in decorator mode when adding or modifying decorations.
2. Incorrect Stronghold Type
SWTOR has different types of strongholds, and not all of them allow speeders as decorations:
- Urban Apartments like Coruscant or Nar Shaddaa often have space for speeders.
- Rural or Wilderness Strongholds might not provide the necessary room or environment for speeders.
Here’s a quick table of stronghold types and their decoration suitability:
| Stronghold Type | Speeders Allowed |
|---|---|
| Urban Apartments (e.g., Coruscant) | Yes |
| Rural/Wilderness (e.g., Tatooine, Alderaan) | Maybe |
| Space Stations | Depends |
🏠 Note: When purchasing a new stronghold, check its decoration restrictions in advance.
3. Unlocking Speeder as a Decoration
To use a speeder as a decoration, you need to unlock this feature:
- Go to the Stronghold Decoration Vendor in the Cartel Bazaar.
- Purchase the decoration ‘Speeder Showcase’ or similar.
Once purchased, you should be able to access the speeder decoration option.
4. Placement Restrictions
Here are some common placement restrictions to keep in mind:
- Ensure you’re placing the speeder on the ground or designated parking spot.
- Check the size and clearance required for your speeder’s decoration.
- Avoid overlapping other decorations or decorations within another hook’s collision bounds.
⚠️ Note: Placing decorations in an invalid position can result in them being returned to your inventory.
5. Game Bugs and Patches
Unfortunately, SWTOR is not immune to bugs:
- Sometimes, game bugs prevent certain items from functioning as intended.
- Ensure your game is up to date with the latest patches.
- Report any issues via the official SWTOR bug report system.
Being proactive about checking and reporting can help get these issues fixed promptly.
Enhancing your stronghold with a speeder decoration adds a personal touch and reflects your journey within the Star Wars universe. By understanding and tackling these common issues, you'll soon have your speeder displayed in all its glory. Remember to enter decorator mode, consider the suitability of your stronghold, unlock the feature, adhere to placement restrictions, and keep an eye out for patches. With these tips, you’ll be decorating like a true Grand Moff in no time.
