Heres just a few ideas I had that I think many people would love to see and enjoy in their game.
OK here goes:
1: For characters because EVERYONE loves to make themselves look different and cool!
Long beards
Scaring; Different scars can be earned and unlocked through battle fatigue and then placed on a
characters face-chest by an Image Designer
Facial Clothing Add-ons; gas-masks (not all people in the star wars galaxy breath air) Smokes, cigars, methaine pipes, cloth wraps(think ninja), eye-patches.
MORE HATS!
Temp use "hair dye" kits that can make your hair multi-tone or colours you can't normally have. IDs should craft them.
BIG ONE; Have one's character's looks change as they becoem jedi, dark jedi bedome all evil and nasty looking and light become radiant. players would look at these changes and mabey not want jedi.
2: For armor because WE'RE SICK AND TIRED OF EVERYONE WEARING COMPOSIT ARMOR!
Here's a simple fix that well help make even the most common armor, heck EVERY ARMOR unique by player;
Armor add-ons, Different visors, different mouth peices, antennas, shoulder groves and spikes, sensor pods, extra armor plates, emblems, battle damage scars, etc. Many of these could be crafted by different profs or looted. Others could be earned by factions or missions. None of these would have any baring on game balance just more customisation.
Armor temp paint kits; like vechical paint kits, some people have armor they can't colour or only comes in a few colours, have a kit for them to custom colour their armor for a few days per use or until its removed or something.
MORE ARMOR!
3: Rare stuff and endless quests, I'm STILL working on my RIS
Theres only 3 sets or armor (Mando, RIS, and bounty hunter) thats only lootable and or craftable with rare loots and only a few weapons.
Mando is THE hardest thing to do in-game. Some people litterly kill themselves to get it. Make it colour change, and let it be colour change for all the colours (say 3 or 4) This option well indeed make more and more people want to give the craft a go. I almost quit my quest when i found out you'll become a rainbow warrior after all your hard work.
Robes that can be put on over armor, might make people think twice about a PvP duel if they can't tell someones kitted out under their robes
4: Fighting
More job related weapons, all I can say is commando has 3, TKM has 1, BH has 2. nuff said
How about a reward for mastering each job like with piolt in JTLS. Like a master armor smith gets a chestplate or commandos get a shoulder pad, bounty hunters get a plaque for their walls or something. A weapon or clothing item.
5: Faction
Faction jobs, Like storm troopers, rebel spys etc. (I have a post on this in the civil war fourm)
Rank Pins to show on armor and clothing
more faction uniforms, weapons and "pets"
6: Pets
more mounts, flying mounts
Uber rare pets, Like RIS, you'd have to go find a bunch of rare loots and "fossils" to take to a MBE to make for you.
7: Misc
The slusstans were a flop, how about a few new races. Devorians, weequays, biths, or something totally new like a rodent thing or some fox like critter or bird people.
Passanger ablity in multi-seat mounts and speeds and a small (10-20) hold cap for mounts and speeders.

nice ideas but to me the one and only thing that would make this game the ultimate would be to remove dot weapons. that one simple thing opens up many new doors ingame. i'd love to pvp more in this game but the fact is unless i can compete with that crap i got little to no chance of ever doing anything but being on my back. it's really a shame that those weapons dominate the playing field.
oh and as for "cant beat em join em", i would never. using dots to defeat an enemy is anticlimactic and imo has no place in this game.
