sign up if you think we should be able to change the size of the pets when we create them

Example: Rancor Skin -> largest size would be a normal rancor in the wild

-> smallest size would be slightly larger than a baby rancor

-would be just like the slide option for height when a character is created

-stats would not be affected at all with the height changes

-could be put right next to the color palate in the crafting screen

Also sign up if a building or cages should be made so CH can have more than the number of pets in their datapad

-would be good for bio's sinces CH would buy more pets

To Upgrade something implies that you are adding too, enhancing, and fixing the thing that you are upgrading. The CU does not do this, it is not adding too, enhancing, or fixing the combat system that is in place, it is replacing the innovative SWG system with the generic one used by its competitors. Be honest and stop calling it the CU, Call it the CR (combat replacement) instead

I've wished this for a long long time - I sell a heck of a lot of decorative pets - and would sell even more if some of the larger ones could be used as statues baby sized.

To heck with decoration...I'm just tired of getting my head caught in a rancor's butt. I want to be able to pick creature size because bigger isn't always better.

People still use those worthless GSP's I think because they are enormous.

I don't think size will be one of our options because there is a strategic issue concerning balance. One of the tradeoffs for using a graul or rancor is that yes we get to see its butt and legs get in the way, also very hard to use in tight places like tuskan fort andcaves.

Adding to the problem recently though is the centering of the creature has changed relative to its owner with the 6th update. Have you all noticed that droids and pets center themselves with you? They now occupy your location instead of being off center of you. they used to stand off to the rear and side of you, but no longer. This will have to be changed. when you stop, they cover you up and its very difficult to target anything.

I wholeheartedly agree. I think it would be a great selling point, and cause no harm whatsoever. You could have a choice between making an animal small, average, or large. Since many animal skins already have different sizes, it would probably take very little effort on the dev's part to make this happen.. well, maybe it would, I'm no dev, but it seems simple enough. Beetle skins for instance already come in small (mound mite), medium (rock beetle), and large (giant sand beetle). You could make a 'default' size for a skin so that people couldn't make enormous rancors and such, the default would be large and could only be engineered average and small. I know tons of people would love this since they'd have more pet choices to make their pet unique. Having been a dancer, I already know dancers would go crazy for jax or durni kittens. And who wouldn't want a small pugoriss beside their couch at home? There are only problems I can think of, one being the issue of mountable pets.. they'd have to arrange a check to make small pets unmountable, or just make mountable pets unable to be made small (no baby banthas runnin around). Also, there's the roleplay incongruity of say, a level 55 speck of a baby jax holding off a wild rancor... but then again, a regular size BE jax beating up tough animals is kinda silly but is already done
