Well this could work in some cases. The facility structures all have the same floor plans inside: namely, cantinas, med centers, cloners, and theaters. These could be converted from one planetary style to another without changing the position of items inside, and. in theory at least, might not be too difficult to code.

Reading about people talking about purges and that I have an idea..... if it has been said already, my apologies as I haven't read all the posts.

How about instead of a building being condemned, i.e u can no longer get in it, how about automatically *packing* it into the inactive or lazy player's (who's too lazy to pay their house) datapad and when they get back they can place it back down after they pay all their missed bills, means no1 loses their stuff and clears masses of land up for players who are actually playing and making use of the land

TH, I have a question for you...lets say you pack up your house so that you can move it. And you find your new location, and unpack and all of a sudden all of your items are lost for some unexplainable reason.


Can you file a ticket and have your items restored? Or should we all prepare to lose everything because of a bug? It's safer to ask this question now "just in case" the situation occurs in the future.

Is this going to only be for "houses?" Many of us live in Guild Halls or Cantians, etc. I don't imagine it would be hard to implement this for all structures, except Town Halls perhaps.

I have a cantina, and have since dropped Musician. If I pack it up can I replace it? If not, how do I get my items back?

House packup is for player houses only...

Any chance this will ever apply to Guild Halls? It's just as important for Guilds to be able to maintain their decorated central meeting places as it is for player houses.

ok, but you really need to change that. You've said this is being done because CU made some places so dangerous .. but structures that are owned by professions with no inherent combat ability ... have to remain there?!


I mean I dropped Musican not because I wanted to but because I felt I had to post CU to have a playable character. Those that stuck with Entertainers should have this ability more than anyone.

It should honestly be for any player-placed structure, not just houses.
