Care for a fruit stand?

Oh, I'd also like to be able to rent NPC structures for parties with the options of Invitation Only, Cover Charge, Donation (Charity Balls/Fund Raisers), and Open Door (free for all).

Ha! Well, how did Pappi's work out? Was it a party hit? 
Honestly, just letting us have access to the existing PEPs free of charge would be a huge boon for Ents I think. Maybe scale it to level so Novice Ent starts with a discount and then work up towards free?
Still though, I'd like for us to have our own things that non-Ents don't have access to unless we're at the locationand doing the actual planning/hosting. We were meant to enhancesocial behaviors/encounters in game and I think it's time that this was built into the three Ent branches themselves... not just hinted at and finagled with the Cantina as Social Hub arrangement.
The "social enhancement" needs to travel with the Ent as well as being something the Cantinas are meant to provide. Then it would actually reward the Social Player for being a Social Player to the best of his/her ability.
I agree. Entertainers should be the "Third Places" of SWG..not the lifeless buildings which have been designated for us to heal BF in.

* visiting player cities. Usually choosing a planet or moon and going from one to the other, checking for cantinas and more globally seeing if there is people there.to chat with
* trying to participate to player events and proposing my services as a dancer when arriving
* looking for interesting player held shops, mainly "themed" shops and admiring how creative are some people when decorating (also valid when visiting player towns, cantinas etc)
* browsing the bazaar for items useful for decoration
* dancing outside cantinas
* changing outfits a lot
* trying to get new mounts or pets
* creating performances : trying to create combinations of flourishes, changing from a dance to another, adding visual effects and using holoemotes and/or droid effects. Then designing a stage costume and/or finding a specific place to perform if it's a themed dance.
What activities would you like to enjoy or see made available?
(question extended to a wish list)
* different buildings working like cantinas. Many players take great pains trying to get out of the cantina designed floorplan using components items, posters, streetlamps as poles, etc... Notably, I'd like a larger stage for player cantinas. Also, a fair number of dances don't look well because the stage lacks room.
Some players think about their cantina as a bar, some as a club, some as a restaurant and they all get the same floorplan to make their concept alive.
* I'd like a in-game system to advertise player events. Like a terminal where a character at least at Novice Dancer/Musician/Master Entertainer skill could place an ad (to limit advertisement unrelated to entertainment). Players could check a list, filtering it by date, place etc...
I know I miss some, too much, events because I can't, or don't, check my server board daily.
Also, it would maybe help people to promote more spontaneous events. Or just allows an entertainer to make known he or she is going to perform at a certain place today etc...
* maybe converting the now lost branch dedicated to Mind Wound Healing to a list of number of abilities allowing to change the scenery of cantinas, possibly restricted to player cantinas ? Like changing background light, ability to drops specific items etc... The entertainer career would then also be a stage manager one.
Similar to the visual effects you can perform personnaly, but on cantina scale ? Or group scale for coordinated effects ?
I suppose many entertainers would enjoy creating performances beyond just their own dance/music by designing a whole show. It could be an interesting path of entertainment jobs...
Chali, quiet Master Dancer on Starsider;
--Hold impromptu raves in the Coronet Starport.
--Badge collecting.
--Help n00bies
--Shop waaaay tooo much
--Hang out on my soro and watch the pretty colours in space
--Perform with The Kreetles
--Perform/hang out at Player Events
What activities would you like to enjoy or see made available?
--Alternatives to combat for current quests (jabba's, Valarian, Nym's, Reb/Imp..etc)
--Registering our impromptu raves. Not sure how to make it happen..maybe /regsister at a Starport?
--Heal BF / Give inspiration buffs in Camps or Space.
--Teach Dancing. Maybe the couple's dance thing? We could teach other player's how to couple dance, by having them dance with us. They can then retain this ability. Or even make it temporary for events? It would be a good way that player run events could hire your services. After all, people hire me as an ID to come give makeovers to a wedding party. Why not teach them a couples dance, too?
--Maybe place a merchant's tent somewhere instead of a player camp. We could then /register there. Good for use near things like the DWB. Make it a "safe house" as it were for players to get healed. Maybe give the ability for a doc to use it. This way, Doc/Ents could do both their intended profession?
--QUESTS THAT COUNT. Not "go here and play for 10 min". Actual quests like a jabba quest, which rate you a badge.
That's all I can think of right now. Thanks, this is a GREAT thread!
