Thread: WE WANT NEW HOME STYLES :)
I was once an architect AGES ago, but I simply couldn't stand it. The resource requirements were so high that you would do good to get 3 or 4 cpu for items you made...which meant you were forced to harvest your own resources or you would be *paying* to make someone a structure.
What I had always dreamed of doing was making modular homes...actually building a home for someone (up to 10 lots worth of modular sections, each giving +100 items or so to the structure) and allowing them to see it go up and approve the design (like a real architect would kinda do). Once the home was constructed, we should be able to choose what sort of outside finish would be used (bricks or baked mud or concrete or whatever) and what carpeting, etc.
And then I dreamed of providing furniture of various colors and being able to make all 15 or so styles of plants and all the furniture in the game that isn't available to us..I could go on, but these were my hopes and dreams a year ago or more. If they were implemented in the supposed 'non-combat upgrade' that was planned after CU, I would probably go back architect or buy an alt for it.
Oh Yeah!
I think modular exteriors would be tough because of bandwidth issues; I posted something on the archie forum about this months ago.
I think exterior colors and variable interior floorplans should be achievable. Medium and large houses have a lot of space, and it can be broken down a lot of different ways, IMO.

/sign. I think we need at least 3 or 4 new styles for corellia, a couple for naboo, and like 1 or 2 for tatooine. Corellia is the most populated, yet every city is the same? boo.
yay for new house styles!
Make it possible to craft a large house with many rooms in it.
Each room will have its own control panel and admin/entrance list and the maintanance payments will be shared by all the residents + the house builder will get 15% of the maintanance (since it will cost more lots to build).
This can ease the lag a little because people will rather live in a house that will cost no lots and up to 10 players (or even more) will be able to live in one house.
Less small houses = less lag.
