I'd like to ask the entertainer community to join together to gather some information. Please go to your local entertainer mission terminal and spam 'refresh'. Look for missionswhich are targetted atPLAYER OWNED CANTINAS & PLAYER OWNED THEATERS. Post here how many refreshes you did before seeing one, the distance from the target, the reward, the name of the target building, if you completed the mission, the amount of time you had to play/dance before the mission was completed, was the reward what was noted in the mission detail?
I have personally been in a group with someone who was on an ent mission in my cantina when the mission succeeded and another guy that frequents my cantina said that he got a mission too, however I have never seen one.
I hope to take this information to the devs and ask them to improve the mechanics of this (before I did not know it actually existed). I will also continue to test this.
THANKS ALOT!

I had a newbie come into my cantina the second day it was open, toting a slitherhorn and saying someone in Keren hired him to play there. Made it sound like it was an NPC quest even, not just a terminal quest. I have to feel sorry for the guy, that was before any player shuttleports could be built, and it's not a safe hike from Keren.
The first day I opened my cantina I picked up a pair of missions for it from Keren. It was amusing reading about who was hiring me to go work in my cantina. Didn't have to do too much refreshing.

I might add I would probably have to do more refreshing now than I did then. Then, it was one of 6 or 7 cantinas on the map. Now it is one of 16 or 17.

I hope to compare the data more-so to NPC cantinas as opposed to other PC cantinas so maybe we can get the devs to increase the frequency of the appearance of these missions and get more novice ents into our cantinas.

Managed to get missions to my local player run cantina in Alacio Island on Naboo from Theed and Keren after just a half dozen refreshes.
Both missions failed to pay out though, although the waypoints were good and pointed to the cantina door.

We never got one to work for our town, and since the missions were sending us so far away we took our entertainer terminals down.

I'm not entirely sure that is a good idea increasing the occurence of PC cantinas. Some cities are downright hostile towards visitors. A new player would wander in just to do a mission and get citybanned. (There are cities that ban first, ask questions later)

one possible solution to that is to allow player cities to somehow advertise their hospitality, or the lack thereof, on the world map (which is needed anyway)
but I think word-of-mouth would be sufficient to keep -for instance - some noob rebel from trying to run an entertainer mission in the cantina in Ghosttown 
if not then after a noob ent's first expierence of being /citybanned when attempting to do an ent mission in a unhospitable (?) player city - said noob would likely learn that one needs to know the stance of a city before venturing into it (which he/she would need to learn sooner or later anyway)
also since this is already in the system and just needs to be tweaked I think it could be a good temporary solution to the gig missions

I will not take a mission if I cannot /register my services in the cantina, as opposed to one I can. The fact that the world map says NOTHING about the faction status of structures doesn't help me much. That being said, the faction issue for registration MUST BE FIXED for entertainment resources to be distributed in a reasonable way.

I'm not sure I understand what you're saying... could you clarify please?
thanks
