Thread: Why are you Architects instead of Construction workers?
No really I dont get it. Building a house doesnt make you an Architect it makes you a Construction worker!
Why would SOE limit "Architects" to only 4 styles of housing? Thats dumb and boring. They should institute a way to allow architects to "Design" their own style of housing. This would solve a lot of the economic problems that archeticts have.
This would make the "gifted" architects more desirable and able to sell for higher prices. Those interested in making boxes for cheap would also be able to do that. People would be more satisfied. Make the resources used make a diffrence in the housing. The better the resource the better the house (a truly novel idea).
Although I realize that this was probably brought up before and often I just thought I would say it myself. I also realize that there pretty much is no way in hades SOE would bother doing something like this. They are too concerned atm with nerfing guilds.
Anyrate this is from a "Non-Construction Worker" Point of view.

We're not architects, we're crafters.
Yet another possibility for the useless Construction skill branch.
Originally, the devs WANTED for architects to actually design stuff, but THEY got gated on the fact that Star Wars buildings are very . . . styalized. They had to either go with pre-set designs that ALREADY looked good . . . or allow us to design tetris block houses that look, well . . . like a bunch of tetris blocks.
It's FEASABLE that some day down the road, they'll be able to focus a team on implementing good looking AND customizable houses and buildings . . . but it's beyond they're resources to do right now.
Although adding the optoin to MAKE tetris houses might work . . . for those that like living in customized boxes that is.

Well I guess there is at least SOME hope for your profession.

The need to steal and incorporate the program that The Sims uses for home design! Sure, the things are a lot more SQUARE than a typical Star Wars house . . . but BOY were they customizable!
I don't even WANT to know how badly that would kill the database though!
Serriously, when they made this game, they were VERY focused on making it "look good". They put WAY more attention into the "sights and sounds" than into something called "gameplay". I mean, look at the houses that THEY designed. With the exceptionof the Corellian/Generic houses, they're all very beautiful, right? But what about the layouts?! OMG! I think a diseased gnort designed these things!
Really LordGriffin what you're saying is that roughly only 50% of the current housing actually looks good and the floor layouts for all of them SUCK!
Basically I couldnt agree with you more.
