>> Yes. However the walls that we make as architects appear to be about knee high when dropped in a house. I think the back side of a novice level bookcase might be better as a dividing wall.
3. We have data terminals that we can craft but only 2 styles. I don't know what style you're looking for. The red and black electronics consoles that go from floor to ceiling. They can be found in factional buildings, and are based on the scene from Episode IV where R2 hacks the Death Star.

4. No but things looking like appliances might be mimiced through other items or built out of multiple items. Some suggested combinations and/or instructions would be great...sometimes it's hard to tell what elements were used in the pictures on swg-decor.

...can anyone tell me if the following items are available and/or craftable in game? I'm trying to decorate my new home (old one was very plain) and my yacht. If not, suggestions on how to "replicate" them would be helpful too. Thanks!
1) Stage (like the ones in Cantinas)
2) Structural elements (blank cubes and rectagles used as counters and wall elements in some of the PA halls I've seen)
3) Dataconsoles/worstations (like the ones in the Rebel bases and on the Corvette)
4) Appliances (television, radio, refrigerator, etc.)

For pictures of available furniture items see the URLs in the FAQ.
Also swg-decor.com has a lot of pictures of stuff that can be used to create things.

Keep in mind that if you use crafted items to construct a stage, persons will not be able to stand up on the constructed stage. Their feet will still be on the actual floor, so that it will appear they are mid-calf or deeper inside the item.
You could use smallish, unobtrusive crafted items to just mark a stage edge (with the floor the actual floor). You might try out things such as various survey tools, or you might try something prettier like candles, small lamps,or a combination, but you will eat up a lot of building inventory allotment doing this.
Sometimes you just need to experiment with some various items, and many times you just might pleasantly surprise yourself on what you can come up with.
Best of luck in your creations,
