Yea, bring back the miner and some associated structures with that.

Just throwing out some ideas:
-Off shore harvesting platforms to get to those high concentrations stuck in the water
-Heavy Mining facility (not installation). Half house half harvestor.A static immobile harvesting facility, but one that has a really high BER like 40 maybe?
-Refinement facilities. not entirely sure on what these would do in the end, but I was thinking something along the lines of having one of these set up over a resource concentrate and set to refine that concentration, it will gradually increase the concentration amount over time. for example, putting a refinement facility at a 70% concentration of a particular mineral for a few days would increase the concentration to 80%. The harvestors wouldadjust accordingly and harvest more due to the increase. Failing that, the facilities could have a radius effect of giving a bonus to harvestors harvesting a particular resource type as to the type selected to be refined. The bonus could be a 20-40% BER increase for that specific resource.

Well hopefully in the future as they expand the surfaces of planets (they are doing this right?) there might be a point to having bodies of water. Like creatures in the water. We should be able to make docks, shipyards, boats and assorted marine type things.

Some ideas for harvesters.
- Underwater harvesters (mentioned before, or like it), but could be done, if cojoined with tailor's diving suits 
Nothing much that needs to be said about this, really
- Automotive harvesters (Pay energy, quite a lot of it, to have the harvester actually come fly to you)
Use a control unit to 'place' a harvester somewhere, then have it use up energy roughly equalling the redeed cost plus then some for it to come flying to your place and settle itself. This would have to be a totally new structure, of course
- Sampler harvesters!
Plop down a 1 lot structure that takes a sample of every resource available in that spot. Don't have it actually store it, but just list it all. Takes a while (of course), but at least it would take away a lot of the micromanagement, and wouldn't make everyone totally dependant on things like swgcraft
- Linked Factories
Make a new structure where you can place factory deeds, or some sort of structure where you can build tunnels, or anything like that. (3 lot baseplan where you can put 3 factory deeds in and tell it which factories to link). Explanation of 'linking': Make it so one factory can use the output of another factory as the input of itself. For DE: Factory builds gp modules, other factory builds mem modules, Factory 3 uses outputs from factories one and two to build droid brains.
You'd still have to pay for the lots, you'd still pay maintenance, you'd still have to make the initial schematics, but at least you don't have to do stupid drag and drop work from one factory to another.
I'll leave it at this for now..

Hmm. Yeah, I wouldn't mind a new type of harvestor either. Thought ten lots is too much because you couldn't have a home too, so maybe just eight. This would cut down on the number of harvestors crowding valuable spots.
Maybe not something so grand. I'd settle for just a two lot sooped up harvestor. A ber of twice a heavy, but take up the same space.
Though, if the harvestor platform goes through, there will be less crowding around the good spots.
Anyways, there are a lot of good ideas here, but have the devs said anything about giving us new structures anytime soon? I havn't heard anything, but maybe I'm reading the wrong threads.

A little upgrade for the fighting arena.A betting system,ticket required to watch contestants,if a fighter who sign-up to fight log offs for more then 10mins he forfiets the match,and a reward system for winner.

What ever happened to the majorly high BER extractors? I'd like to see some BER 26's again.

Since we're dreaming here, how about architects craft Golan Defense Platforms? That would be nice jump into the GCW.

University Structure: If placed in a level 4 or 5 status city, all practice crafting done in the building will yeild 10% - 15% more XP. For example, if a level 4 status city, it will yield 10%, while being in a level 5 status city it will yield 15%. In addition, while crafting in this structure, you will get both assembly bonus and experimentation bonus (lower risk not extra points) when crafting. This will be a great asset to charge entrance fee on to help fund the city.
Removal of elite trainers from NPC city and thse trainers will all be part of the University structure automatically upon placement.

Could we possibly split this concept up into two different ideas. A University for grinding/skill trainers, and then possibly a Laboratory for the assembly/experimentation bonus?

Hmm, you have something there. Right out having those as part of the politician skill is kind of lame. Also, the master politician bonus of it is broken. I think having a building like that will have more people standing together crafting, more fun than crafting alone in your house.
