Hello again fellow IDs,
this thread is for collecting all ID-issues beyond #5 that you might have. As with the Top 5 please try to get to the point 
My personal list looks like this at the moment:
- Master Perks: Master IDs should get something really nice and cool that makes it really worth to grind all the way. No timer for ID-changes and maybe Self-stat-migration might be something nice... maybe some special Holo-emote or two...
- UI-changes to the client-side: There needs to be a way for the client to see more easily, what the ID has changed on his/her avatar´to avoid abuse and missunderstandings
- Some GCW-functionality for the ID like:disguises to avoid being scanned, the ability to go undercover faster with the help of an ID, factional logos for vehicles, clothing and armor to name a few ideas that came up about it
- Small craftables like lipsticks, makeup-sets, disguise-kits, stuff like that...
- Missions for Image Designers as a way to get out of that tent for a bit and make some cash/xp there too.
- Adertise: The ability to declare that a salon is occupied like the entertainers and medics/doc got for their functional structures.
As with the Top 5 those are jsut my personal issues. When the final list is put together I will be working with it as Correspondent.

I think if you could craft a ID Widget that would allow a master only to migrate outside the tent this would make the MID a Very viable profession and a reward well deserving.

Other issues of importantoutside my top 5:
- Self Stat Migration: all image designers should be able to migrate their own stats
- Droid Salon: allow a droid module that turns it into a mobile ID Salon
- Improve ID UI: make it scrollable so it doesn't have to take up the entire screen for those of us who have to run in 1024x768.
- Better Zabrak/Human colors: Do we really need 100 shades of green/gray in the skin color pallete? Can we have some fun colors in there instead? The reality is that there are about 20 of the 256 colors people will even consider taking right now,that's just not good at all.
- Allow ID's to get experience on one another while practicing like it used to be. Taking this out just made ID a LESS social/cooperative profession because we can't even work with each other to train. Instead, you have AFK accept-bots and a poor lonely learner clicking every 2.5 minutes. This is not fun for anyone.
- IDing vendors: self explanatory
- IDing pets: Allow us to change pet coloring andsizeswithin allowable ranges for that creature/model

If you look at it, MID already has perks for mastering. Skin color alteration, Torsoalteration, Age alteration, full color palette... If MID is to get more bonuses, I suggest bumping either one or both of skin color alteration or torso alteration down into the bodyform tree to make that tree more worthwhile. Bodyform 1 for example is pretty useless to anyone but wookies.
The only other thing I can think of is fixing the timers. They're just too long, we pretty much all agree on that. It's rumored to be looked into or confirmed, I'm not sure, but I know it was on test center. Actually getting reduced timers, eith the sameexperience as before,out should be of note as well.

Since there's been evidence of the timer being looked into, the only thing I would like as a Master that I don't have now is the ability to migrate my own stats. I understand why they wouldn't want Novice ID dabblers to be able to migrate their own stats at whim, but I wish Master ID's could.
Beyond that, I'd like the ability to have appearance alteration affect in-game things, like bounties on Smugglers (which don't exist, but people ask for them), bounties on Jedi, the time it takes to go covert again. For overt to covert, yes it's a paperwork issue, but it's hard to match you up with your paperwork if you don't match your old ID photo.

To me, the time requirement is important. It's just too long with no let up in my opinion. I think as you earn each box in the skill tree, you should get some time shaved off when working that particular modification.
Thank you.

I was just about to post this also! I had no idea until a couple of weeks ago that this was in no way a possibility. I assumed that as you went up the Hiring Tree if merchant you got the ability to basically "create" your vendor from scratch. Well when my hubby (roXet) mastered merchant and still got Orange Rug-esque vendors I was stupified. So then we tried to see if I could ID it. Nope.
If Merchants are not going to be able to "character create" their vendors, IDs should at the very least be able to change them (of course only when grouped with the owner of said vendor).

This is terribly minor, but I'd like to be able to make the bridge of the nose protrude on humans. Aquiline noses could do neat things for the face, I think. More than the generic nose we have now. It'd be nice to make a sort of "upper crust" look with it, or else a "been in one too many cantina brawls" thug look.

Everyone so far has had great ideas. Most if not all, I agree with. So I'm just gonna addan idea of my own that have not been mentioned or not mentioned much.
First, I think ID's should be able to do something to disguise people. For the GCW or Jedi vs. BHfor instence. Like if a Jedi knows he's being hunted, he/she can seek out a ID and get his image change and maybe even a new temp name. This could serve somehow to throw BH's off his track. Like maybe making BH's tracker droids not work. I don't know much about BH's really but I think its a good idea and with some help could be fleshed out better.
Also, we definately need to be able to ID vendors. This would add a fair amount of business as I know Merchants don't like remakeing vendors 50 times just to get one that isn't 100 years old, fat and with pink hair and a blue beard.
