Good idea. It might be neat also if people were able to post advertisements for their shop there as well.

I always thought the devs should so something like that for the bazaar, be able to click a tab andyou, a merchant with whatever skill pts, can put like 2 waypoints and shop info so you know where you can shop. Its a pain going by the planetary map vendor list...those aren't accuarate sometimes. Plus then people wouldn't auction a 6k item off with shop info, it will all be right there.


Something else too, you know how the devs added the hologram things to your head, like have a imperial or rebel sign ove r your head. What if you can program a droid to stand in one spot (maybea R2 be best) and he beams an advertisement like "Visit Geral's Loot Shop and get all your loot for low prices"...this will constantly be beamed over the droids head, he doesn't spam the chat channels...just when you turn around there the advertisement is.

I was wondering, im playing off an idea i seen in one of my other posts. It was along the lines of a player assosiation the player made.


My continuation for an ingame version of this would be a terminal you could go and Place an Ad for yourself to help on certain things or someone could look at the terminal and search for somone that is willing to help on missions. Say your a Pilot, Doctor, Ranger...Etc. You could look at this like the Bazaar and see who on the list was online and weather their helping range is galaxy wide or regional. In the Aplication you could have a template to fill out saying your base Skills and the mission perameters then in the bottom have say a text box stating your payment if any and other promotional goodies. Say there be a limit to 2-3 postings on there to limit Database size, and Limit the Time to 20 days on the terminal.


Any Positive Input Is needed. Would like to try to get something like this i think it would be neet and ad more to the feel of interacting with others. Would give new people a place to seek help if necesary.

I think this is a great idea. It deserves a /bump, so sad seeing a good post pushed back to page 3. Well, to me it is. Would also be good way to get a crew together for an MP ship, or to help me with this annoying Imperial Storm Squadron Tier 2 mission of blowing up Kimolgas claw...

Brillant idea, Devs look into this!


Possibilities are endless, like above, it would help people with missions, advertise for buisness without getting spammed, etc.

The idea of an in-game bulletin board like that has probably been going around from launch and has never been implemented for some reason. I imagine it has to do with the inability to properly moderate such a board (I mean, just look at the kind of stuff that gets posted on the forums) rather than the technical difficulties of the implementation. You might want to search the Core Systems forum - I'm sure there's a proposal for such a board there - probably buried a couple of pages down.

Great idea! Imagine how this could be integrated into a player bounty system as well...

I was just in the middle of writing out a post with this exact same idea! We need this in a REALLY bad way. Being able to out
Mercinaries would be cool too.

Good post!

I think it would be interesting, it could possibly lead to griefing is one reason i can see they would never implement it.

I love the idea, makes a lot of sense. Butdon't you think this idea makes too much sense for the devs to consider?

I agree, probably will never happen, makes too much sense.

Vorin, that's a great idea.....


If not for just making it easy to find help when needed, then they should do it to cut down on spam and create a lot less lag in the game. instead of joe blow or his droid standing in the starport yelling what they have to sell or need help with.....we can have a few more bazaars added in various places and just look in the so called "want ads" like a newspaper on the bazaar terminals and get all the info we want or need.....
