Cities And Housing Archive

(Posted on this subject a while back in the Core Sytems forum but thought it could use some exposure on this new, more appropriateboard.)

How about including roads between all major (i.e. NPC/static) cities? At least on the more "civilized" planets (Corellia, Naboo, etc.) This is a "futuristic/sci-fi" setting after all. There would be roads connecting these major population centers. Granted there are shuttles and most ground vehicles "fly" above the surface, but roads would still be used.

I can't tell you how annoying it is to try and "drive" from say Coronet City to Tyrella and have to cut though revines, smash into trees, dodge boulders, and so forth. There should be a road here. Many people use rivers as "roads" just to avoid this problem. Unfortunately rivers dont run straight from one city to the next - if there are rivers at all (Tatooine).

If a primitive planet like Dantooine can have roads wandering all across its surface (some even with bridges!), why are the "high-tech" planets not able to have them in a more or less staright line between major cities to make travelling easier (by vehicle AND foot).

Besides it would also give a better feeling of civilization on these supposedly "advanced" worlds...

(As a side note - I don't think this would work with player cities as they seem to come and go over time.)
