Had an idea for the holster discussion. There would have to be various models for these for the different professions, such as pistols/rifles/pikes, that said i feel it could work like this:
Say your toon is a Pistoleer/Swordsman. You have two holsters in your inventory and minimum of two weapons (a pistol and a sword), totalling four item spaces in your inventory. Assign a weapon to a holster by dragging and dropping it, much like a backpack, so you now have your pistol in the pistol holster and your sword in your sword holster, however still using up four spaces in inventory. Equip the holster of your choice and it will appear at your side (belt) for the pistol or on your back (bandolier) for the sword, with the weapon in the holster. It will remain in the holster, but by game mechanics it will be "equipped", until the moment that combat is initiated, at which point your toon will quickly pull the weapon from the holster and proceed to attack.
Cut a long story short i see this as working as/taking place of the backpack/bandolier slot due to the nature of it. However, to have this mighty cool feature i would clear out my inventory of all junk and get me a holster!

Do we really need Capes? Unless players don't mind looking stupid wearing it.
There's a shiny new credit in it for ya if you walk up to Vader and tell him he looks stupid.
