we on the ch board are per"pet"ually looking for ideas to enhance our nerfed up profession..today someone posted this idea:
"The ability to Image Design a pet. Most BE pets have more than one color. Most pets in the wild have more than one color. It would be kind of nice to be able to choose my pets color and size. Just a thought. "
what would you ID's think about being able to alter pet appearance?.as a ch i thought it was a pretty good idea, adding a uniqueness to pets, both ch and non ch..was wondering if this is something appealing to your profession, or if you would rather not do pet grooming..hehe

Actually I think that it would be better to give this ability to bioengineers and expand the number of colors in which pets could be made.

true, but since noc ch's can only have 2 pets, some players get attached to them and would rater give one a makeover, rather than destroy it in favor of a new one..not unlike the way characters change thier appearance with your services, every player has all ofthe options you do, when they initially make thier character..doesn't mean you don't want to change them down the line 
as someone with some BE, it should be noted that a lot of times the colors don't stick one the pet is tamed..this would give a player withan orange bearded jax deed, that turned white when tamed an option to get the color they wanted

I think giving BE's a little greater pallette would be better. As much as I would love the extra work, i don't like the concept of dyeing pets. Besides, pet coloring kits wall fall more inline with how items are customized in the game.

But a pet is *not* a droid and it is *not* a speeder. You wouldn't use the same sort of thing to color the pet (a kit) that you would to color inanimates. I like the idea of customizing pets. I do also agree, however, that it might be more along the lines of BE.

Wow, I'm not sure. I can see where it would be an arguement for BE (obvious reasons)and where it could be ID (BE would probably focus more on making specific colors and patterns *before* a creature is raised, but if you wanted to change these things after its grown, you'd have to do a partial genetics overhaul...) . Maybe IDers could do short term things and the BEs do more long term? But then, IDers can change wookie fur patters and changing a pet's fur pattern wouldn't really be any different...

If no one else will do it, it can always default to the IDers -I think most of us enjoy doing that sort of thing, anyway, be it human or kitty orkiller bunny.

I agree, that animal pets are not just droids or vehicles and as living beings needs some more carefull and personal treatment when it comes to changing their look. So I don't think it should be some kind of kit, but the direct treatment by an ID to change anything there.

It would be nice to have our pets as customizable accessoriesbut, Ithink allowing IDs to change pets somehow diminishes the BE's game. I would suppose that either the BEs should have the ability or there should be kits as with droids, ships and vehicles. I understand they are "living" but, form an OOG perspective, they are crafted items. From an in character perspective, the whole live animal make-up testing issue comes to mind.
I suppose a BE-crafted, CH-applied DNA modification kit makes the most sense to me. (Some has to hold Fido down for his shot).
