Hello ladies and gentlemen!


I was wandering around when something flashed in my mind... You can build houses, factories, furniture, city halls and a lot of other stuff, right? Well, aside of the City hall, what is the biggest structure you can build?


I was wondering about this when I saw a thread about gambling on the smuggler forums. We have theaters and cantinas, but no casinos or hotels to place games. Then, I remembered that we don't have public markes or shoping centers also.


So, here goes my idea:


What about a modular building for cities, lets say, like a big shop/cantina/casino and several other things that can be random attached to a main building? Maybe it should sound strange, but it can make a huge diffrenece promoting the trade on a city.


The other thing is about unique city monuments. And I'm not talking only about "The Planetary library of Corelia" and other things like, but also "static" military stuff. Like the a planetary shield generator orhuge military NPC base (for factioned cities) . Or Even a city storehouse.


Wonders of the Galaxy, something worth to build and place, something with some level of utility that will make people come and use your city...


I dunno, it is just an idea, but, better tell to you than keep with me forever (and with all these revamps around)...


Thanks


Lain'

Modular buildings that connect to each other is an interesting idea. We could just have individual small buildings that take 1 lot and have one room in them. If they came in different shapes and floorplans then they could be connected together to make interesting and unique house designs... like an architect would.


I don't think it would be too hard for them to implement this, they would just have to have the individual houses connect to each other and when you left one house you'd enter the other same as going through a door into or out of a house.


This could also be used to make structures that act as apartment buildings. The owner could setup a main building with small buildings attached to it which are the individual apartments.


Similar design could be used to make a shopping mall. One big main area building with small buildings attached that are the individual shops.
