11. Interesting. Need more detail.
12. Yes
1. New Profession: Miner Class
As long as it's given a reason to exist...
2. Harvester Limitations of any kind
Only on larger harvesters, put some commitment into geting high quanities of resources.
3. Remote mointoring of structures though mails only
Needs to be combo of e-mail, and terminals as below.
4. Droids and/or crafted terminals that can be placed in houses to mointor structures and pay maintance etc..
A must !!!!!!
5.More Lots based on crafting skill
perhaps.... and do medics who use harvesters for thier resources count?
6. A salvage command to allow us to salvage some of our materials back from something we crafted.
No.
7. A architect crafted Forage that lets you takes metals and improve them at a cost of some kind. Require artisan crafted power mods to run. *only if there are no miners*
That's "Forge"... But a must. Give to miners if they come back, if not, give to artisians.
8.1 screen crafting UI with tabs
The process does need to be streamlined, but don't know if this is the right answer...
9. 1 screen structure UI with tabs
Same as #8
10. Remove the shaded background from crafting so we can chat while crafting
We got rid of one, the rest need to go.
11. Ability to create custom schemtics though a custom crafting interface.
Would be nice, but could be highly problematic to implement.

More, yes. Forced, no.

12. More forced consumables other then droid batteries. Examples: food/drink ,power mods for houses etc..
Yes
1. New Profession: Miner Class
YES.
Features could be harvester improvements, resource manipulation, ability to find 'uniques' (special gems, rare metals which can be used in place of any specific metal in a schematic, control of mining droids (which will scour the planet for a specific resource, harvest some, and return), and so on.
2. Harvester Limitations of any kind
YES
Novice Artisan or Novice Medic gets Personal Harvester, other certs as skills advance.
3. Remote mointoring of structures though mails only
YES.
4. Droids and/or crafted terminals that can be placed in houses to mointor structures and pay maintance etc..
YES.
5.More Lots based on crafting skill
NO. I like being forced to make choices between being a miner and being a homeowner and being a shopkeeper. More lots=more resource glut and less diversity.
6. A salvage command to allow us to salvage some of our materials back from something we crafted.
YES.
7. A architect crafted Forage that lets you takes metals and improve them at a cost of some kind. Require artisan crafted power mods to run. *only if there are no miners*

YES -- with the caveat this needs careful control and balancing.
12. More forced consumables other then droid batteries. Examples: food/drink ,power mods for houses etc..
YES.
(Sorry about the comments, but I set my answers bold and big so you can scan them quickly.)
1. New Profession: Miner Class
No.
2. Harvester Limitations of any kind
No.
3. Remote mointoring of structures though mails only
Absolutely NOT. - It's the only that throws this. Emails are nice, but can't we do 4, too?
4. Droids and/or crafted terminals that can be placed in houses to mointor structures and pay maintance etc..
YES
Terminals are great for houses, the Droid thing is something else. There's no point in having a Droid that you call only to ask a question about your property. Having a Droid that MAINTAINS your property is what we need. There's a lot of posts on this in the DE boards, too.
5.More Lots based on crafting skill
No. What we need is more storage space in houses. More lots just means more harvesters for the greedy.
6. A salvage command to allow us to salvage some of our materials back from something we crafted.
No.
7. A architect crafted Forage that lets you takes metals and improve them at a cost of some kind. Require artisan crafted power mods to run. *only if there are no miners*
You mean Forge, but I'm going to vote No on this one.
8.1 screen crafting UI with tabs
No.
9. 1 screen structure UIwith tabs
No.
10. Remove the shaded background from crafting so we can chat while crafting
No.
11. Ability to create custom schemtics though a custom crafting interface.
Ooooooo.... This is a tempting, tempting subject. As a programmer it is a task that would be INCREDIBLY difficult to implement... I'm voting YES, but we'll see what happens.
12. More forced consumables other then droid batteries. Examples: food/drink ,power mods for houses etc..
Yes.

Yes
12. More forced consumables other then droid batteries. Examples: food/drink ,power mods for houses etc..
Don't care
1. New Profession: Miner Class
Yes ...Absolutely!!! Although as a "Prospector" class that collects all forms of resources. People will specialize on their own.
2. Harvester Limitations of any kind
Yes ...so long as their is a prospector class. Such a class should have a clear advantage when using harvesters.
3. Remote mointoring of structures though mails only
Yes ...but I think that a more informative method could be used than email.
4. Droids and/or crafted terminals that can be placed in houses to mointor structures and pay maintance etc..
No ...absolutely NOT! Making harvesters easier to use will kill the resource collection business. With or without a prospector class, some of us want to collect resources. Don't kill a valid segment of the game economy.
5.More Lots based on crafting skill
No ...This would only be cool if the prospector/miner class is out of the question. I would much rather see class skills thatenhance harvesters using existing lots rather than additional harvesters polluting the landscape.
6. A salvage command to allow us to salvage some of our materials back from something we crafted.
No...I don't really care one way or the other on this one.
7. A architect crafted Forage that lets you takes metals and improve them at a cost of some kind. Require artisan crafted power mods to run. *only if there are no miners*
No ...Although I wouldn't oppose it if the prospector/miner class is out of the question.
8.1 screen crafting UI with tabs
Yes ...I don't really care one way or the other on this one.
9. 1 screen structure UIwith tabs
Yes ...I don't really care one way or the other on this one.
10. Remove the shaded background from crafting so we can chat while crafting
Yes ...I don't really care one way or the other on this one.
11. Ability to create custom schemtics though a custom crafting interface.
Unknown ...I don't have enough information on this one to decide either way.
12. More forced consumables other then droid batteries. Examples: food/drink ,power mods for houses etc..
Yes ...I'm all for more variety in the game and a more viable economy!
