I'm afraid I can't formally request something I'm not hearing from the majority of the community. As I said earlier in this thread, the devs are monitoring this discussion and are aware that ideally we would like to have player city tents as well. When they reach a decision, which I imagine might involve seeing how it goes in the first few weeks after the tents go live, I'll ask if I can share asap

I think there are three "simple?" additions would make me and I think others feel a lot better about the tents.
- Master IDs can place an parmanent particle effects terminals in their house.
- Master IDs can placeanID sign outside their house, signs like merchants. there should be at lest two types, one fancy and one for those youRP more of an covert IDer. (hopefully that can be seen on the plantary map)
- Master IDs can place anTemporary particle effects terminals inside any city zone, both NPC and PC cities.

It looks like a Barbie playset.
LOLWell, it is very feminine... but I believe, if I am correct, that they aren't all pink.
I'm really hoping to be able to place one of those in my player city.
That'll shutmy guilds"why are you wasting skill points on that worthless profession" comments . . .
Yeah, then I'll be cool
Actually, kidding aside, I really want one of these in my town.
I want...
1. The tent and/or
2. The device scanner thingy and
3.Register me register me register me on the planetary map!!! and
4.Let me decorate it.
And Kwee.. if I got blue hair (because lets face it, I didn't get Master ID for my customers 
although they are quite lovely...)
Is it.. only going to last for a little while?
Or is that just the particle effects?

even if it was like a miniture version for the player cities i'd be happy.
or if it was just a special sign on my house...
something!
I live on Dantooine, I just don't think I'll ever sit around in a npc city and ID people in those tents.
1. i'm cheap (I hate paying/waiting for shuttles)
2. i'm lazy (also, I like to be around my guild members!)
3. i'm selfish (what else can I say!)
If they can come to me, then I'd be happy to help!!

i wouldnt even be against if they were to make them very expensive to build
andcost 6 or 8 lots to place(and be master id non transferable)
i just dont want to be stuck in theed or bestine
i cant be in coronet because of the lag)
this would be an awsome city structure and there being usualy between 5 and 10 master image designers on a server
and what8 planets you will still only have 1 or 2 on a planet max

Agreed. There are a ton of master docs and dancer/musician types and the player cities don't seem to be cluttered with extra cantinas and med centers.
well.. not too cluttered

just wanted to comment as an architect ----
first i am glad you guys are getting a "beauty parlor", i think this will be helpfull
but i also think that you guys should get PERSONAL stations!!!!
anyway my BIG gripe is the tent itself...there is discussion amoungst architects about tents --- WE DONT FIND THEM VERY STAR WARZY!!!!!!!! they look more at home in say EQ....i know its a done deal but it would have been nicer to have seen some real buildings, something more techy, more star wars and that goes with the various archtiectures. instead all they did was recycle the out of place merchant tent...
(Hey --- i think you guys should be moved from the entertainer tree and put in artisan where you belong!)

Seriously though...tent in NPC cities only = WORTHLESS. Please don't roll over on this one, guys. Al lthis time & we're still not even being placed on a reasonable footing with what everyone else had at LAUNCH, let alone the current standards.
If you can tell me it would be ok to force DOCTORS to go to one of 5 annoying locations to do their buffs, then it's ok to accept this insult. Otherwise we MUST demand better.
Our player city tents don't even need to be the huge crazy things. Just a mod of the vendor tents is all it would take.

Im not sure what to think at the moment, it is a nice addition to be sure, but i know it will effect me negativly in some ways, 90 % of my time i spend in my shop, i run a lot of vendors and i keep my ID tag up, most of my buisness takes place right there, ive got my own image design salon i set up in my tatooine PA hall there with good lighting. Only time i ever leave my enclosue (few houses and storage houses and factories near one another) is to go to bestine to grab resources or visit some player event, id like to see what the tents can do, but i hope it isnt something i will NEED to be at, because i fear i wont be able to very much, and may end up forcing me to drop a proffession 
Tailor/Bio Engineering are my first loves, Image Design close behind, id hate to be forced to choose

I agree that we deserve the same treatment as other professions, but yelling and screaming and making demands is probably the fastest way to get on the devs /addignore list.

Well thanks Kwee for letting us know that. I think it's a positive sign that the devs are listening to the community and that they notice that player city ID tents are a very popular item here. I am curious about the motives the devs have for not letting player cities have ID tents, though, because to me it doesn't seem to make much sense - but I've gone into what I think so I won't again - and I'm really interested in what the devs think on this.

I'll second several motions already made:
- Please make these player-city placable.
- Please cut out all the pink. I may be female, but pink is much too girly for my tastes.
Thanks!
