Well, there was that thing they used to get from the gungan city to Theed in PM, but that was more of a submarine than a boat.


But it brings me back to my wish. Underwater attractions. Gungan cities.Underwater ruins. The ability to DIVE when the water is deep. I can see that it isdeep if I take my speederbike out over it and stop to let my bow wave disappear. The terrain continues to go down. There are rocks and plants and stuff... why not putaPOI or two down there and let us dive to reach it?Even if the ability to dive required buying a breather like the ones they used in PM. Even if the ability to dive was a skill you had to learn (maybe add it to scout?) And what about water mobs? Why not big fish ready to chase you and attack if you tried to swim in their ocean? A special set of weapons you can use while swimming... like harpoon guns and explosive prods. Why is the water an unexplored frontier in SWG? In PM we saw they have the technology needed to go there. Why don't we have the ability in SWG?


There were some floating craft in the background when they surfaced in Theed I think, but they were like, yachts, not individual craft.

Lol, I'm not sure whether to take that as a compliment or insult (I'll take it as both :smileyhappy My sincere apologies I think I was born sarcastic and can't help myself.

Our vehicles should come with a percentage chance to develop a 'fault' depending on how well they have been crafted.


You would then have to take them to a garage to get them repaired. The droid mechanic working there would have a sarcastic module and hmmm and arrrrrr saying its going to cost you your pension to fix.


Architects should be able to build banks, so that players could buy these and set up their own banking services, particularly loans secured on property.


That way I could 'borrow' credits to pay for the vehicle repair.


When I didn't pay the loan back my house could be repossessed to offset the loan, and I'd be homeless.


Chefs should be able to place vendors in Cantina's that served hard drinks, so I could drown my sorrows. The screen would go fuzzy ala Everquest, so I could roleplay being drunk and go hunting Nightsisters with nothing more than a pair of bootsand a bustier on trying to kill them with a CDEF.

How about this idea, a special area in the med centre for recovering spice addicts. Doctors would gain XP by healing them. This is done by grouping a group of spice addicts together in the room and make them talk about their problems while chain smoking. (Cigarettes would need to be included in the next patch).


Any thoughts??

LMAO


Any other ideas?


I cant remember where I read it but sum1 suggested a cleaning proffession. Swoops etc couldhave mud 'points' and novice cleaners could get XP by erasing 'cleaning' the points back down to 0...0 = clean swoop.


Am I scaring any1 yet??

There should be a skill within that prof where you can wipe the windshield at vehicles parked up at the spaceport.

You know all those people who beg for creds at starports?


That should be a prof. Novice Panhandler must be an ELITE profession the requirments being that you must have mastered droid engineer, gotten screwed by the Devs, dropped DE, and be piss poor (Asteroids you know what im talkin 'bout). You get xp every time someone tips you.

What about space cruise liners in the JTLS expansion. You could pay a fare and the cruise ship could tour the galaxy...

I would like to see a hooligan or thief skilltree. Whenever someone parks their big ol honking AV-21 on top of you or pulls it out at a starport to show it off, you could jump in it and drive off. you could not store it or anything, just drive it and leave it in a ditch somewhere.

I would also like to see an /invite hitchiker option on your vehicle radial so you can give the beggars a ride
