I have no problems maintaining my cantina. We started the city with our PA and all decided that we would chip in on all city structures. Now we have 3 PA's and one on the way and everyone is helping where they can. Since I am also a doctor (made master sunday morning) I go on missions with everyone and keep themalive and make good money from the missions. Plus I buff people alot and sell crates of stims, so that helps. If you don't think you can afford your own cantina, I'm sure any of us cantina owners would love to have you dance at ours and I'm sure you will be paid nicely.

Just some info. The cantina takes up 5 lots and cost as much as a large house, 50cr/hr and you can declare to it as your home.

Look us up on Dantooine, we're on the map.

Mixing in other professions can help. My Dancer is an Image Designer, which you can make decent tips with. Also an Artisan, which you could set access fees with or just sell your craftables (Like Jawa Beer or Fireworks).

Cantinas, we'v all been there

its a room full of people all packed into one little space, with epople sat at their feet

I think a good idea would be, to give all cantinas stages.

BUT

When you use the stage to dance or play, you get a bonnus to your healing or XP or something

thus making it more organised, and less people stood in the entrance

good idea?

agreed cantinas suk now the way they are

I do agree with you in the fact that everyone crams into the open space just inside the cantina instead of using the whole thing... But adding a stage would not solve this. - Then everyone would simply be crammed up against the stage.

yeah and make them loudspeakers work so they boost healing xp and range of healing as well. it will keep the band in one place and allow the pc's to move freely around the entire cantina.

The trouble with cantinas now is that they have no cap, so everyone who wants healing or entertainer XP goes to the biggest cantina on the biggest planets (Theed, Coronet, Bestine), and the others go empty. Here's my proposal on how to fix them:

--Each cantinashould be able tosupport only onegroup of 20 entertainers. Extra entertainers will have to go to other cantinas. You can't get healed by more than 20 entertainers at once, so it's not like anyone needs the extra dancers.

--Characters should only get battle fatigue or wounds healed if they are sitting on furniture. This will make the cantinas look more like places where people hang out, and less like airports during a thunderstorm with everyone sitting on the floors. Note that this will also make the upper level camps actually serve their intended function of being bases for larger groups, since the camps have more chairs the higher you go.

--Expert-level entertainers should only get experience points if they are in aregistered cantina. With more variety of which cantinas are staffed, people need an incentive to register that they are performing. Most entertainers probably don't even know about this feature.

these are all some good plans, and yes i know if we did add a stage you played on, everyone would cram to the front of the stage, but surly its better than dancers all over the place.

i likethe seat idea

Meh- no edit function. Replace "Cantina" above with "Cantina, Hotel, or Theater", and replace "Wounds" with "Mind Wounds".

As long as you have the Master Dancer / Musician to place it, then you can place away. I have seen several cities with more than one Cantina ... they are essentially PLAYER owned, not city owned.

This is true. I am a master chef and as a master I have the option to place cantina as well. This was done in a player city (as I think they have to placed in a player city) and took up 5 lots. When first constructed, it appeared as "<insert name>'s House" Basically, it was a house that takes up 5 lots. Which brings me toa point. This 5 lot thing is crap. Maybe ok for a dancer/musician who doesn't need harvesters, but master chefs do. Cantinas should very well be an option for politicians or at least make the structure xferrable to the city.

It's not a politician skill...

A cantina can be placed by a master musician/dancer/chef in any class 2 or above city

Are you 100% positive a chef could place it?
