Thread: Idea for Starports
and having the idea that the "Security" peoples at the starport look through your inventory
they can confenscate weapons and such.
Not a very good idea in my ball-field.

Time consuming? Try playing at launch when you'd run up to the ticket droid and click him and get this message:
"The next shuttle will be available in 9 minutes and 59 seconds."
Now THAT is time consuming...LOL I used to lay down and set my alarm for 8 minutes!
Personally I think Starports are already too crowded with advertising afk bots to add even more npcs doing stuff. A real airport full of people moving here and there does not lag, but a bunch of data in a game does.
What I would not mind tho is adding some more animation, maybe some extra ship models taking off and landing, like a resemplance of the activity that really takes place in the starport: The movement of player ships in and out.

Personally I think we should be able to use the starport terminal to put us in an "instanced" part of the starport with our ship parked in its bay. It would be cool to be able to do this of we *wanted* to, but not be forced to if we just want to "travel".
Abilities to mod the ship etc from that instance, board the ship to take off, board the POB ship to walk around in it etc. And the "invite" option for bringing friends should be there to bring other people into your instance.
Cool, but how often is are people going to bother to do this? And unless they change how the loadout works on ships, the ships won't look any different than they do in the datapad, so you can't show off your new missle launcher.
I had an idea about super starports. In the movies we see in the back of theed the biger starport that Anakin and Padme depart from in AOTC. there is plenty of land behind there to build a huge starport with multipul landing pads and shuttel ports. Maybe for added intrest there could be a land based speder transport(bus) between citeis if people wanted to ride. player cities could register if they wan the transport to stop by their city. Tat woudl have a sail barge type transport, and so on for the planets distinct designs.
anwyay back to the starports, people are dying ot have their shipparked at a port and see it walk up to it and in it so with the new big starports you could park your ship at the cost of 1 lot and docking fees. But only allowed 1 ship parked. and if you fly you have to use that ship or store that ship and fly with another ship (that keeps people from hogging parking spots) With your shipparked youcan walk aroudn it and decorate and all that you want and see it on the planet. All main planets, Corillia Naboo and Tat could have these, one per planet. and these coudlbe BIG to accomidate al the traffic and ships, although most will prob haev to be added to land outside the city in the no build Zones. maybe surroundign some cities with landing pads.
If they ever do a server cross over kinda thing where youc an take your character to visit other galaxies, maybe have the big transports from AOTC that took ani and padme back to naboo, use that to taek you and load you into another galaxy.
