Lets see what you have.
Thanks for reading and replying.

I suppose I can state this one more time......
- Small Creature Stable: made by architects, uses 2 lots, holds 5 pets
- Large Creature Stable: made by architects, uses 4 lots, holds 10 pets
- All Creatures level 70 and under made tamable (maybe later on they can actually create a new creature so we can actually have a true master CL 70 pet or reduce a higher level one)
- Cat-model mount: this way there will be atleast a few mounts people wont laugh at due to their appearance and speed (mire marauder, gurreck, swamp stalker, greater sludge panther, male plains tusk cat, cowardly gurreck, etc.)
- Appearance of rare/high levelcreatures: creatures such as the arachne widow, mire marauder, and merek harvester deserve to have a special look due to their rank in the SWG world. They are some of the most popular and dominant species in this game and should show off their supremacy. For example, the king merek harvester is a "king" so he should be unique compared to other mereks, and with his larger golden form, he is. And the frenzied graul...one of if not the most popular creature in SWG is unique with its monstrous size and dark red fur. With saying this, Im trying to point out that a lot of the "cooler" pets could be so much "cooler"....like the mire marauder is obviously bigger than most cats but give it a dark/light grey color to give reason why it likes topick its preyin the swamps of Talus. Or give the widow more black to its body, because come on, but when someone says "widow" you automatically think black. This is a minor yet huge change that can really adapt the CH enviroment, and in the end when we speed by one of these guys we'll turn around and say "wow..."

This idea could be very good
This may actually be easily implementable since the art for fences is already available and so it shouldn't be too hard to code one

Defienetly agree, especially with the higher lvl creatures and different variations of the same species, such as blood stained merek, toxic merek battlelord, so on.

- I Wish that fixes were implemented for this class.
- I wish that we could have different types of saddles for our pets some with armour plating also storage room on the saddle for storing items.
- I wish we could have the ability to train our pets in certain combat aspects e.g. train a pet to be more offensive orientade / defensive orientated.

at least another mount - maybe a cat mount.
Make it high enough (cl 60+) so that onlya master or near can ride it only - no BE versions and a semi-rare babyspawn - however give it the speed to keep up with vehicles... thats all I want.

I want autostoring to be the highest priority for the devs right now so they can pour all thier resources into it even though pets don't autostore everywhere, I should still be able to do reb misions out of moienia without bieng annoyed by my pets, although at least they only autostored while attacking the base, which is a little wierd and its different from what I've experienced in that area.

- Cat mount (GSP scream for this) - Maybe make it Master CH only. Rare Spawn
- Flyer mount (Reptilian Flyer) - Or the Thing ridden in Episode2 on the Cloners Homeworld
-Limited Attacks other than Basic Attack, from Saddle. Maybe all 1-Actions, like Healthshot1, by MCH
-More Trick Animations
- Fix Autostore Bug
- Multiperson Mounts (Double Saddle on the big ones like Brackaset)

1. Please give the higher level creatures some dignity. I dont ask that they be made even CLOSE to the equivalence in power of a normal combat player. That would be unfair (and impossible if you look at swordsmen, armor, etc).
But, I'm almost embarassed to pull out a rancor. It's more trouble that it's worth to pull out my webmaster. I can outtank either of them easily and they don't do any damage (in comparison to me or any afk artisian).
I know they care "deeply" about not making CH too powerful, but there is SOME way to give us access to truly fearsome creatures without making us imbalanced. ADD a box to CH that costs (insert number here) points that precludes us from mastering a combat profession. Or limit us to box 2 of any elite profession. ANYTHING. Just PLEASE give us access to the real demons.
In Lieu of this, if you REALLY want to make CH a "barbie playhouse" class, THEN GIVE US A PLAYHOUSE. Let us set up our own little Zoos, or combine lots to make larger zoos (read Tivo's ideas above).
2. Give us a reason to tame things beyond just collecting rare bits of data. Give us a CHANCE to find an "exceptional rancor". Vary the stats a bit on our tamed pets. Then perhaps incorporate a synergy with BEs where we can BREED two exceptional animals ONCE to result in a (somewhat randomized) new potentially extremely high quality DNA pet for sampling by BES. The mating could destroy the parents... anything. An economic basis for the class would be better than nothing.
Bottom Line: The only reason anyone plays this class (other than the grinders) is because we love the thrill and rewards of the rare hunt. That's it. I can't imagine why I would ever pull a pet out anymore unless I am trying to solo something REALLY difficult. I can't stick with the game unless the class is made more than a sandbox toy.
Addendum: The more I think about it, the more I like the idea of incorporating breeding. Should you happend to find a REALLY rare exceptional version of a (insert mob here) you could charge a stud fee for breeding it. Have males and females. Add synergy with BEs. NOTE: these really exceptional pets would have to be just WILDLY rare. Like Bull Rancor rare. Otherwise, people would just farm a horde of exceptional pets and there goes the economy.
I know it would be a pain in the buttocks for the devs. But... you did ask =/

* New mounts, very VERY rare babies, same speed as X-34s and a minimum CL of about 19, possibly one mount at Master capable of keeping up with a Speederbike.
* The ability to re-deed pets we tame, so they can be sold on vendors, dropped as decorations and as a way to add extra storage for pets. This can be balanced out by making the deed version of the pet untameable by the person who created it for a full week afterwards. This would make it impractical to store pets that the owner would regularly use in this manner, however still allow them to be sold to other players. This would actually mean we could hunt down and collect rares without giving up the pets we actually use in combat, as we could store them away or place them as "trophies" in homes.
* New styles of saddles for existing mounts.
* No pet Vitality loss in PvP combat.
