In the Movie Star Wars: A New Hope, Luke Skywalker mentions to his uncle Owen he needs to go to Toshi Station to pick up some power convertors. Yet Toshi Station is no where in the game.


My opinion is we should not be allowed to just drop a house any old place on the planets as right now most planets have a connect the houses syndrome where there are literally houses all over creation with no ryme or reason. Most of Tatooine is inhospitable and no sane person would want to build a home out in the middle of now where. To me we should not be allowed to just drop a building and call it a home. We should have to use them in specially decided places.


In this case a player city. Each planet has one starter location for a player city. On Tatooine it is Toshi Station. It is a small four building place centered around a small bank terminal with a few NPCs to start it off. They will have no mayor at the time and player politicians can nominate themselves to be mayor as is the current rule.


Players can build outward from the central zone in any direction they wish, so long as they are touching foot print to footprint to another structure. Plus they can have streets automatically appear as we build in between teh buildings (the green footprint could be the width of the street between structures), there fore the street graphics will be pregenerated and the game will set the graphic between the structures as they are needed.


However there is a limit of 500 player houses, so other will have to stay in the NPC cities at the hotels or apartments (basically the same thing) for a fee that is less than player houses. However the amount of stuff we can store in our apartments is always 50 items max, while player houses start at 150 items. Friends could still set another friend as an admin to their home and they could drop or pick up items and setup vendors.


Another thing we need for player cities is a starport when they have attained the maximum size.

The building outside of AH is Toshi Station as far as I can tell...as it has Fixer in it...but, we will never quite know I guess
