Housing: New Feature Ideas
(Please Post Your Ideas)
I have been thinking about the amount of things you can do with your house and you know what? There just isn't that much customizing going on. I mean sure you can place things anywhere you want and in a lot of different angles, but even items aren't totally cutomizable for houses. I've put this idea out before, but it just doesn't get seen. I think that houses should have things like music, and customizable colors and such. When I say music I mean, make the speakers actually useable. It's like we have them, but they don't do anything except sit there and look good. I propose we make them useable. Make them so they play actual music throughout the houses. Then if we want to make it more realistic put a charge on them so they have to be paid for in the maintenece price. Anyway just an idea, I'll have more later, but please put your ideas in here too. I just don't think people spend enough time at their houses, me being one of them.

I think that I've read that they're gonna add jukeboxes that will be playin music, like a part of the player event perks.
I'd like to see more things that's moving and are interactive. In the mojority of most players houses there's some form of aquarium. Would be mighty cool to have a fishtank, It's ok if they use the textures and stuff from the fishes swimmin around in the rivers and lakes. Another thing would be birds in those nemoidian bird-cages

It would be nice if I could skew / tilt items in my house too. That way I can have cool crossed swords on display!

Yeah see exactly what I'm talking about. More things like that. Come on people if this forum actually gets read, you'll probably want them to see your ideas in here too. I would definitly like to move armour into different positions as well. Make them look like statues doing cool things. I mean I would definitly show people my house if I could customize it more.

Know what we need? Some kind of holo-emitter that broadcasts what amounts to tv shows and stuff. I have an "entertainment" room set up in my house, but there's nothing there that actually entertains....

I'd like to see a vendor option added. That way instead of having to add people to the admin list to place vendors in your house, you can add them to the vendor list which would allow them to create and drop vendors, but not have any other admin rights.
I like the other ideas though.

I like that thought....moreso, I would like to see them add a true "mall" as a housing design....something with places to put vendors. Perhaps seperate rooms todiferentiate between types ofitems being sold.
This should also hold a lot of items since we would be decorating it extensively and be about the same lot requirement as a large house. I hate having to use a Guild Hall as a mall.

I've also been thinking if we do eventually update houses to make them say more merchant friendly, we may even have "live" malls. What I mean when i say live is, why not make the malls so that you can sit there yourself behind a counter and sell things. I mean sure it's possible now, but no one wants to do it. I mean what are we just going to sit there and do absolutly nothing until like one or two people come in an entire 24 hours? No, but it might be fun every once in a while to actually run everything yourself you know? Great ideas everyone. I was also thinking that maybe there should be more mini-games. Like how many people actually play that wheel game or the other game. The gambling ones. Not many, unless they aren't afraid to loose a couple thousand. I think maybe for houses we could also have actual chess sets. You know the one on the Millenium Falcon. That would be fun. I just wish I had more reasons to stay at my house. Great job everyone.

Yeah I think we all want that. To be able to put things in any position you want? Awesome. I could make a sweet space fighting scene with my Vet Rewards. Yeah keep up the great ideas guys.

an idea that i had was to make it so you could assign access permission on individual rooms rather than just the building as a whole because that would allow people to set up their own rooms inside of joint structures like PA Halls

I have several ideas for housing as I run a guild and often run into ways I would like to see structures advanced.
1. I would like to see, err, hear music in housing
2. I think people should be able to have custom flags or something outside thier house, for example, I want our guild to have it's own flag design that members could have infront of their house
3. I also agree that you should be able to set permissions for individual rooms. What if you have a vendor in one room but you want your back room locked?
4. I think you should be able to get more advanced housing based on your profession/faction. For example, if your a Master Doctor, you should be able to get a large house with a factory or something build right into it.
5. I feel that there need to have more interior building layouts, especially for corellian and generic housing. I think medium corellian houses should have multiple levels like medium tatooine housing.
6. There is a definte need for appartment complexes. This would especially be cool for cities that want towering sky scrapers because you could have half the town's population in one building. It should also be the cheapest for the individuals that want to live in it.
That's all I have for now, i'm very tired, lol. If I think of more i'll post again. Hope this helps.
