I have been playing this game for a long time now and was looking at posts in core system and found one or two about star wars feeling. What is killing the fun and letting us down both in game fun and stability. What I began to focus on more and more when I had read the post was this. Large pets have no place in our world as tamed animals. Chained and under guard in some areas but I cannot really say I ever have been happy to watch a Kimogila that is controlled by a CH.
What I suggest is that they are removed from our list as pets. There are a few others that I also dislike but can live with but really would like to get off from the list. I would not like to have rancors, graulers and such to be in our datapads any more.
This could also mean that we get them to be a lot harder for us to kill since they could make them a lot better with no fear of us able to control a too good pet. We could add certain skills like trample to large animals and this could make them feared in combat and we would avoid contact with most if not in large groups.
This seems like one step towards making our city places in this game be a habitable place for a Role player and others that want to play this game.
What do you think. Is this a good pet and do you all think we must have all the large pets as they are?
Sior.

The only CH type person from the movies that I can recall was from Return of the Jedi. Jabba's palace, trap door, luke falls into the pit with the Rancor, kills it, fat man showing way to much skin goes to the fallen rancor and cries. I'm not sure about the extended universe as the last book I read was "1, 2, 3, colors" and made a squeek noise when you squeezed the cover. Anyway, for me seeing someone generate some massive creature out of the air doesn't take away from the Star Wars experience nearly as much as the lines of people waiting to be buffed and 200 others spaming about crap every 30 seconds. Also, i don't remember any chars. from any of the movies yelling about a "solo group". I'm a star wars geek and proud of it and would love for this game to be more star wars-ish and less grind but hey, I also want more cheese on this damn frozen pizza! <shrug> guess I can live without both tho.

Well I can how you think that but like the utusay said, there are loads of things in this game that werent in the books or the films but we learn to deal with it. Two Dark Jedi dueling in the middle of bestine for fun certainly wasnt in the films but that happens. There are loads of things that are out of continuity but you have to remember that this is a game based on films/books.
Personally I like creating rancors and kimos and I think they dealt with that problem when they gave them minimum levels when creating (i.e. rancors cannot be lower than cl35 and kimos cl40) and now I see no problem. A possible solution to this could be to perhaps add a 6th slot for DNA. This 6th slot would be a 'skin' DNA sample, where it has no outcome on the final pets stats but merely the pet gets that skin. The only problem with that is grauls, rancors and kimos are all easy to find

I want a pizza...
