After speeking to various guilds and friends on some issues I figured it would be best to bring the topic up to a wider group. Should there be a wider veriety of moutables (adding creatures that resemble the already mountable species such as the Pugoriss, Bolma, Eopie, ext.)? Also a hotter topic, should tamed animals have a menu bar to drop them in you house or Inventory to free up space at the price of stopping the growing process if not full grown as long as out of Datapad? There have also been ideas presented of being able to keep animals in "Farms" and creating your own "creature habitats" to grow for resources and babies. Some1 mentioned something similar with fish but you cant do anything with them until you can actually fish (at least no one can in the Bria server). Just figured Id see if there were more and more peeps out there that want the CH to become more important and more flexible in the SWG universe.

My answer is yes and yes.
There are plenty of creatures that could be mountable but aren't. I myself dont use mounts much but for newer players who cant afford vehicles, there should be more choice.
I was really happy when I joined a guild that gave you a free house after seeing peoples pets in there house making them looking better. It soon turned to disappointment though when I tried to put one of my pets in my house. I asked a friend if I was doing it wrong and he told me thata only pet deeds can be used in houses
I was gutted, as I have now had to get rid of pets that I would have otherwise kept in my house for decorations. I don't think it should matter if their fully grown or not, deed pets can be fully grown in the house so why not normal ones.
I really hope this is something they add before I have to get rid of more pets that I've grown fond of.

Thats were I got a little irritated. Ive been takin noob orders for lesser dewies constantly and can get them just as fast as ever but they all want me to handle them and mount them then hand them over... well that leave little room for my pets(grand total of 2). Having the ability to leave those babies at the house would be quite a nice thing. After all you can get as many chair, guns, or couches as you or your house can hold and using the stay command doesnt releive the datapad and comes with the problem of your pet getting frisky and running off on you (saw a baby Ronto do just that today). I can understand the developers wanting to restrict the individual professions powers but with the limit on called animals and max level of pets but I dont see how droppin them off at the house could be a big deal... just saving you the burdon of lettin those older or under skilled pets stick around and not bust them back into the wilderness. My view on the mounts is similar. Having those animals with Kaadu or Dewie animation plus those animals that have been mounted in the movies (Pugoriss, Eopie, Ronto, Bolma, Bantha, Cu Pa,bla, bla, bla) would allow those peeps that built houses or accepted guilds on some of the more forsaken planets get a "hometown" mount plus makes it more worth their while to visit other planets. After all MMOs are suppossed to be about customization- what say "cool" more than a Master CH makin an enterence into town on something that shakes the earth when it walks an then droppin it back off athis local guild hall. Im not really "Crying" about the manner, its just that youve got you TKAs that can incap you with one slap, your bounty hunters that can own Jedi, and so on. I personnaly just think it would be cool to have a wider collecting ability (even if it means to pay a credit fee per day to own) a special facility that will raise your babies or maybe even breed(spawn) them for you. My idea would be on the matter of a breeding facility to be a fenced in style of area with a deposite box where you can pay maintanace fees, place food items and such... a sort of factory for animals that you place in there that you could even watch. Just a fantasy of a hard core handler.
