Cities And Housing Archive

On my server I saw a Rebel controlled city on Rori that formed 'walls' around the city by taking advantage of the way Naboo houses interlock together. They were able to form a 3 sided box basically with their city necessities inside the box. The entrance to the box was then guarded by a collection (7 all told) of faction bases with minefields and hoardes of Rebel NPCs.

the only way in the city was either by shuttle or through the defenses.

I am wonder just how much is involved in creating such a setup and if there is anyway to acheive a similar result using other types of houses (like Tatooine style)

I have expirimented with tat style houses but they can only go so close to each other and of course leave a gap (are there any types of facilities or items that can be placed in the gaps as to restrict player movement in a way similar to the interlocked Naboo houses?)

I would like to build what amounts to a small army fort (not really a full sized city), just a burg with a few basics dedicated to GCW combat.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Not an exploit, as it does not "lock" people out of areas of the game. It only makes it difficult. Thats like saying the devs are exploiting by creating the Correlian Corvette missions by not allow and Imperial to reach the bridge because of all of the SBD's and rebel Admirals.

I have seen a few cities done like this, and they are all beautiful. So far only seen it done with Naboo houses, never any other style or any of the city installations used in the outer wall. A word of advice though - I would recommend leaving the shuttleport outside, and a few of the installations you would like to make money with, ie. merchant tents. This way any person can access your money makers, but not the middle of your city or the bases very easily!

if its not an exploit, it should be.

Why would that be?

Unless they're overlaping footprints on the houses it aint. Some people just dont like it becasue it creates a pothole in the little road of life.

Correct and when some on our server did that they got a csr there to ensure it wasnt an exploit. As long as there is a way in you are ok

I have not witnessed the 'ghost' effect mentioned. The place I mentioned on Rori, I tried and could not walk through the outer wall (they also had the houses 'private' so the enemy could not enter.

Good to know this works on Corellian houses as well (Ill have to check the list of what planets those are buildable on)

Are there any smaller things that can be stuck in the alley between Tat houses that would restrict movement? (like personal harvesters, small factories, etc?) Id really like to be able to channel movement in and out of the fortified city through just a handful of places, that can be guarded by bases & turrets (now that would give meaning to being a 'Stronghold')

Actually I wonder if turrets would fit in the gaps between the houses?
