Thread: Weekly Rountdable Discussion (Week ending 1-10-04)
1) Since half of this game is a spreadsheet simulator, I would really like to see some kind of simple in game calculator so that I don't have to shell out to windows every time I need to figure my maintenance needs.
2) Since server side storage is limited, it would be nice to use the notepad to open/create multiple files. I couldn't live without the notepad now, but i frequently find myself running out of space. For instance, I would like one for additional waypoint data, one for merchant related data (kind of like a ledger), one for guild council notes, one for city council notes, etc...
3) A couple of mailboxes in addition to the inbox. At least give us a local mail box and a sent mail box.
4) E-Mail aliases - at least one for city residents (similar to what the mayor has but at least useable by the entire militia) and one for guild members.
5) A static city chat channel (come on - how hard could this really be? It should be functionally similar to the guildchat) that is open to declared city residents.
6) Game options that actually do something and save their state between sessions (There are still random resets on some of the game options).
7) An end to phantom citizens - our city has a number of declared citizens who are no longer residents here (they do not have houses in our city any longer and have declared their residence elsewhere).
Oh yeah - my personal rant:
Why are master doctors or combat medics required for a city to have a medical center, master dancers/musicians for a cantina, and droid engineer components for a shuttleport, yet an ordinary architect with no scientific knowledge can build a cloning center? Shouldn't bio-engineers (the only class in the game that has any knowledge of clones) be required to provide some components for cloning centers?
Starport Wait TimeSolution -
I've read a ton of complaints on the 10 minute wait time for shuttles and I believe that I have a suggestion that would be a nice compromise.
- Could you please just change a starport on Corellia to act the way Theed does.
That way, any traveler that needs to go from, say Rori to Dantooine, doesn't have to worry about missing a connection. Theed and Kor Vella (for instance) would always allow immediate departures.

FIX DROIDS!
It's supposed to be "Droid month". Just read the DE forums and give us some detailed feedback on what you intend to fix. All the info so far is very vague, and is quite frankly making the DE community very anxious. Our profession and the products we build have s-u-c-k-e-d long enough.![]()
i would like to suggest something a little more practical. a change to the UI. i would like most (if not all) of the text in various windows of the game (like "examine" etc.) to become selectable so that we may copy and paste it into emails and tells etc. i can't select thing that people say to copy or paste either. this can really slow the flow of information in the game. i'm TIRED of typing out bios or resource characteristic to tell soemone about it in an email. we have copy and paste already in the game, let's make FULL USE OF THESE FEATURES!
Fix BH droids for Jedi or implement something that works? Please.
Foth!
decay+insurance should go out off pvp deaths.
each time im incap and end in clone its a 2400 credits insurance , so much for the PVP boost this game needs ...
PVP can save this game from geting boring , take decay+insurance out of PVP deaths .
TH,
Will this get hot fixed in sometime please?
"Can lightsabers get old and "break"?
"We will have item decay in the game, and this will affect lightsabers as well. However, a Jedi has the knowledge necessary to maintain a lightsaber, preventing such decay."
thanks

I would like to make a reasonable request.
I'd like to start by saying that I'm glad the game is updated every week at 7am (EST) causing little inconvinience to most. However, whenever the servers are set offline then go to loading... I'd like to have the server status shown before I actually launch the game.
So, instead of saying the server is no longer offline in the list of offline servers, I'd be quite pleased to see a list of servers that have the "loading..." status so that I don't have to launch the game to find this out.
Thanks.
