Hi there my ID friends. I'm not an ID but I do have a thought for you guys... maybe if its good you can suggest it to the higher ups.
I was looking at Nightsisters the other day and I was really admiring the hairstyle, and thought how greatit would be to be able to get something like that for my zabrakcharacter. Then I sort of expanded the thought, what if there was a way for ID players to learn hairstyles specific to NPC factions? I'm surethere are more than just Nightsisters with unique haircuts out there (and likely to be more when the next expansion after JTL comes out, whenever that is), maybe there could be an NPC among each of these factions that have a small quest that an ID could do to enable that haircut in their list of things they can do.
Just curious to what your guys thought on this is.

Sounds like a great idea...
There are way too few "quest-skills/schematics" out there currently.
A few paintings for the architects
A variety of improved guns for the weaponsmith
A few bits and bobs of armor for the armorsmith
Some special clothing for tailors
One vehicle for artisans
Then what? ... What about chefs, droids engineers, image designers, smugglers, bio-engieners, doctors, dancers ... and so on and so on.
I think they deserve to be able to get something extra ... why not a special move for the dancers? An unique song for the musicians, some funny looking pit droid for the engineer, new and special hair styles/tatoos/whatever for the image designers.

While I really, really, really like this idea... I really can't see a great amount of feasiblity in it. All of the specialschems crafters are given are limited use. How would something like this be implimented for IDs? Having a limited use hairstyle almost doesn't work because once someone gets rid of a hairstyle, it is gone forever; whereas, with a limited use schem for a weapon, lots of weapons can be made and sold, and they do not just disappear unless someone manually deletes it. However, if this were to be brought into the game as a kind of wig... that'd work. But then it puts in the situation that they are crafters, something some IDs aren't chill with.
Could you provide more information possibly?

naah it shoul dbe like the leotards in jabbs.. you need to finish the quest to be awarded a cematic and it's good for life. you can't really suggest you can only learn a hairstyle and be able to perform it 5 times... Unless you needed components.. and I don't think you're going to find many supporters of ID craftables.. I like it though. I'm all for craftable I.d. cosmetics

I was just thinking of something along the lines of a permanentability, once you get the hairstyle, its yours... or, if you really wanted to put some limitations in, do like they did for the death watch bunker, make it so the ID only has that option available in their menu when they are within 5meters of an ID station specific to the place where you got the hairstyle. So, using my example, to give someone the nightsister hairstyle, you would have to be in say... the nightsister stronghold, in some nightsister version of an ID tent.

I really like this idea...it's somewhere in line with the way that new dances and songs are being given to dancers amd musicians respectively through quests - I'm sure they won't be limited use either, it's just offering a fun way of obtaining them, rather than sticking them on the Skill Tree somewhere. It's a great idea, as it'll give us something new to do and the whole community something new to play with!

Five stars for you!
Now find me a Wookiee with dreadlocks and I'll 5-star stalk you for life.

At one time, it was possible to give cross-species hairstyles ( twileks with bothan hair, zabraks with human hair, rodians with zabrak horns etc.) so I would guess what you suggest would be theoretically possible. However that wasn't intended so those exploit hairstyles were wiped. They should probably be able to do some form of non-permanent new hairstyle like though. Maybe something related to how the zabrak horns actually appeared as an inventory item wearable. Realistically though, I doubt the dev team has the resources or time to spend on it at this time, what with JtL, Combat Revamp, HAM revamp, character purge, and removal of recursive macros.
It would be awesome though I agree, and that hairstyle you displayed rocks! I am now going to search for various hairstyles on npcs I would like to see in game hehe.
