OK, the new loot is starting to show up. Great job, devs, on making some of the cool scenery available to players, keep it up. However, you should be smacked hard for making it near impossible for Imps to get. That said, we need some new emotes to go with some of this. Take, for example, the Data Terminal (looks like a large glass screen, similar to ones the rebels used in Echo Base on Hoth) and the Tech Console. Right now, the only commands I've found that give any animation to make it look like your adjusting knobs, flipping switches or whatever, is the /point and /fiddle command.
/fiddle looks kind of good, only you get a spatial message that you begin to fiddle with things, even with the loot targeted. If you target a player, it says you fiddle with their gear, nothing targeted, you pull out a puzzle cube and begin fiddling with it.
The new emotes should make it so we can look like we're actually using these. I'd suggest maybe keeping the /fiddle animation, and making one like /flipswitch, which would give the animation and a spatial saying "You flip the switches and adjust the dials" whenthey're targeted, "You begin flipping every switch and twisting every dial you see" when nothings targeted, and "You push his/her buttons" when targetting another player.
This would go a long way towards immersion with this stuff.
And, should you be so kind and generous (and I won't hold my breath on this one) as to give Imps "exclusive" loot they can get, can you include those cool "Death Star 2" consoles (for an example, view RotJ, lightsaber duel in Palpatine's throne room)? It would be greatly appreciated, and I know the art is already in game, as I've seen them at the Hyperdrive Research Facility on Rori.

Haven't they just added like 30? And redone the animations for a bunch of other ones?

I think we have much more important things to fix first like IMP HATS so we can all wear them

There are alot of things to complain about in this game but seriously... When the devs just added quite a few emotes to the game just a month ago you shouldn't be complaining about not having enough. This might be part of the reason the devs don't seem to read or even care about our ideas.

No other species will ever get the imp hat, as they never would in the empire, hell if this game was sticking to the canon no species other than humans and some zabraks would be allowed to become officers (with rare expections such as thrawn).
So i wouldn't hold your breath (tho from the other examples of sticking to continuity, SOE always aren't exact)

Who's complaining? I never once complained in my post, maybe you should reread it. And nowhere did I say it should take precedence over more important things. I simply said we need more, so we can "interact" with the new furniture and stuff. All I'm asking for is a little more immersion. Last I checked, there was nothing wrong with that

You'll get your hat when we Rodians can get ours

I'd like to see that, but I don't think it should be a high priority over other existing issues.

You can use the emotes on any targetable object in the game if you put the name of the object after the emote ie: /fiddle a data terminal

That's a great suggestion. I tried it with the technical console, and I got "You fiddle with technical consoles gear"
