Thread: Module Suggestion to the Dev's from a Tailor
I figured i'd throw this idea out to you all and get your reactions. I apologize if this has been covered already.
Tailor Module:
By adding this module a tailor see's an additional option on the radial menu of the droid. This option will open a window and allow the tailor to choose an item to display to the client, the number of items could depend upon the quality of the module directly effected by the experimentation used. The display would be at the default height of an item when you drop it in a house. The display would be transparent and have a blue tint to it so as to show the 'holo' effect that has been seen in movies, there would be color selectable however it would be difficult to view due to the ammount of blue from the image. While giving the DE's something to craft and make droids more requested it will also give tailors a tool with to display items before crafting. The ultimate goal however is to futher the immersion into the starwars universe, after all what is StarWars with out your holo projectors?
So what do you think?
Brilliant! Wild applause!
"Do not thump the Book of G'Quan. It is disrespectful."
Great idea.
I think it would be good to incorporate this to other professions also. Architects could use it for Furniture. Armormsmiths for armor, DE's for Droids. It would be kewl.

i'd like to get more opinions on this... i would hate to see this get lost in the shuffle as i personally view it as a great idea.
But then again, the Devs have no freaking idea what a droid is.

I suggest that you bring it up in the Round Table forum... it'll probably get more "air time" than here.
sssssssssSSS(:-<
Every good idea posted on these boards gets "lost in the shuffle". Don't take it personally. The devs have DE's on /ignore, they don'tuse any of the positive ideas from these boards.

Personally, I think the ability to project holograms is really awesome and star warsy! =)
There are a multitude of possibilities . . . holo disks that project pictures, holo books that project a sign which is readable if you stand close to it (kinda like paper books which you can fill with text yourself,but this is star wars right?), holo treasure maps that produce a 3D map with blinking waypoint, etc
In addition, tailors can project their wares by creating a holo image instead of a prototype or manufacturing schematic. Droids can become holo images instead of prototypes or manufacturing schematics . . . you catch the drift. Allow everyone to create a holo image at the end of the experimentation stage.
It's not THAT difficult to implement either. Just add a deed at the very bottom, ablue light shining from it directed upwards,and whatever finished good you wanton top. The item will be floating slightly above the deed of course. /move up 20 perhaps
I don't see a specific module for just doing this. I'd suggest we have it be a more generally useful item. This might well just be one way that it would function. This type of feature has all sorts of possibilities in-game, so I'd hate to limit it just to this particular scenario.
The droid 'hologram' module (and its variants) is something that I have on a list of things to dig deeper into...
