I was tempted to add this to the new structure ideas thread but decided against that 
Let's ask the devs to get rid of generic houses entirely. Bad enough Corellia and Taulus are full of ugly buildings without allowing people to pollute the landsacape of other planets too. Let's limit planets to structures that look like they might actually belong there. Personally I never have/will not make generics. By all means, change the Corellians to something less ugly too, but limit them to Corellia, Taulus and Dantooine.

They wouldn't be nearly so bad if you could paint them some other color.
Anyway, there is one thing I like about the ugly generic/Corellian houses: they really make the ring around Cnet look like the industrial slum that it is.

I know this is really stupid but.... The reason that I will NEVER place a house on Naboo or Rori is because the houses there #1 are smaller space wise then the other houses (to many corners and round walls) #2 The Small house esspecialy looks really really bad, its round for heavens sake, you can't put things on the outside walls because its round. The only way I would move to Naboo or Rori is if I get the option to place good looking and more effective houses then I can right now.

ok im co-founder of a metropolis on lok we started over a year ago and have had a town rule in place tat style houses only
to try and be in keeping with the lokian countryside
yup one of the reason's was we didn't want a regimented unending block after block of generic style houses looking like some pre-fab council estate
now in defence of generic they can lend themselves to imperial decor hence we now have hidden from sight in a shallow ravine a generic house(yes i know sin of sins) that houses a well decorated imperial museum and i know it would not have the same feel if it was in a tat house

Something that would have been cool was if the generic houses could be automatically re-skinned to match the style of house for the planet they were being dropped on.
It would still be the same shape but it would have a brown facade on Tatooine/Lok and a brick one on Naboo/Rori. Dantooine can fend for itself.

Kinda defeats the purpose of them being "generic" houses if they can only be placed on like three worlds.

But Generics are good for those of us that want a more regimental look for our homes... at least till we can get the bunker style buildings.
