Just because urban planner isn't coming out now, I don't think it is totally dead. They said they were going to do this modular, and I wouldn't be surprised to see urban planner come out later with the beautification structures.....

How bout if they were to put components into the construction tree or what have you and then the schematics for the actual, placeable buildings in master? This way all those 'novices' you guys are referring to won't be able to create the actual buildings but can sell the componets to masters if they want, but they would have to skill up to do that so thatwouldn'tmake themnovices now would it. The thing is though, I can't see a viable market for city structures anyway. Most of those who had planed on going UP have their own cities to build up, and it isn't like there's going to be a whole bunch of cities just poping up out of nowhere so I don't see a problem if they can make these things or not, who are they going to sell to and whowill be in the situationto buy these structureswithout already having a city resident who can make them?...

In principal - yes,

However, I think at present anything that's brought out will be half baked at best. What would be ideal is if they brought out several professions at once. As it is right now, you introduce the Urban Planner, and everyone M.A. and their dog is going to race for it. However, if a series of new professions were rolled out, like the vehicle designers, the urban planner, the politician, the ??, the ?? , the ?? you'd have the players spread out over several - and not creating a glut of Urban Planners.

Also, while in the my <rant> mode, how about the requirement for player cities needing multiple Urban Planners? You wouldn't expect one person to create an entire starport in real life (yes, I know, in real life there are NO starports - just play along ) What if for the big structures, like a starport it takes 3 U.P's to build 3 separate sections, and then have each UP place their piece? The finished construction would automatically become the property of the city. Previous posters have mentioned this already - but you only need so many starports, and there are only going to be so many cities so this may reduce a glut of "useless Urban Planners" </rant>

Don't know why this post has only a 3 star rating when all but 2 have basically agreed, and thoughs 2 just had minor issues.

And as for DEVS not reading "petition" posts, W-T-F? Petition threads make it easy for them to see an issue at hand and see how many people agree/disagree..... why the hell wouldn't they listen.... even if the devs don't listen, I know our great Correspondant will.... and it makes it easier for them to know what we want and to relate that back to the devs.

OK, so the Devs don't like petitions.

I agree, I was kinda disappointed when they made that post, cause I was looking forward to working my way up in Urban planner, though now I won't have to grind. But please please don't make UP buildings avaliable for run of the mill novice architects, please reserve this honor and fun for us master architects.

Thanks
