We will have to see how things go live. We now are seeing that maintenance may be 25k times city rank. I am still not sure on exactly what grant zoning rights will do and won't do. Originally it allowed cantina and med center to be placed and was in level 1 skill box. It is now in novice and doesn't mention those structures but may prohibit all building without permission.
I enjoy discussing things and think you have some valid points. The politician or electorateshould be able to control if you go up in city size. With the maintenance now tied to city rank I can see some excellent advantages to limiting your city rank to just what you need.
Once it goes live I think we can have more constructive discussions on the pros and cons of each function of the system. I think I understand most of the ways the city will function, but I am sure I will be incorrect in some areas.
The biggest problem I see is that at the current maintenance rate, and with the caps on taxes, I think it will be nearly impossible to have a balanced budget for larger cities.

OK, here are very very concrete ideas:
Professiondroidmodules:
Droids are managed by certifications. Mastering a profession gives u a professionlinked Droid-Certification-Module. U can only call one droid a time, u can only own 1 droide a time! When u build ur Droid uve to choose, what professionlinked modules u want to use. To use another droidmodul from ur professioncertifications,u ve to destroy or modificate the old droid by a DE to add another modul. But u can equip ur droid with one droid modul for every mastered Profession!
Basic Prefession Droids Modul benift a choosen Prof skill +10 (or even less, depending on Crafters skill).ThisDroidsmodul forbasic profsare very little and fast helpers, doing there job automaticly, once they ve been purcased and added to ur droide. U dont ve tocall or rechargedur droid to get access to this benefits. The Droide dont ve to be near.U get the benefit, when ur Droid gotthe modul.
Examples for basic professions:
Master Medic = Surgical Droide, bonus Treatmentspeed +10 or Medical use +10, or Pharma +10etc etc
Master Brawler =Support Droide, bonus Intimidation orRange Def +10 (by using flashbombs) etc etc
Master Artisian = Crafting Droide, bonus to... look above
Master Scout, Master Entertainer, Master Marksman supported the same way.
Hybrid and Elite Profession Droids Modulescan only been used, when the droid is called. LikeBasic Profession Droids, theycan give different benefits to the owner, but this benefit must be choosen during the droids creation too. Differend from Basic Prof Droid Modulesthey dont give skill-bonuses but entire new professionrelated abilities.
Examples for hybrid/elite professions:
Master Rifleman = Accuracy Targeting Modul, granting aimed shots for max 20 sec without using aiming. After this, the Droid has to be recharged and recalled
Master Ranger = Auto Harvesting/Looting Modul.Ur Droid can loot and harvest everything near the Ranger atomaticly. Also hes getting 10 storage room.
Master Doctor = Cloaking Droid, taking agro from Doc for max 20 seconds. After thisthe droid isburned out and has to be recharged.
Master Squadleader = Assault Support and Comunication Modul. A Droidemodul thatbenefits the teams abilities by linking up all team droid bonuses (basic prof droids too) and make them available to all teammates.
Master Tailor = MobileDisgingUnit. A droide whocan giveclothes new color.
MasterMusican = Enhanced Mobile Sound Support System.Healingmind damge as an areaeffect for 20 sec. Has to be recharged and called after this
etc etc etc
There should be a more than one Prof Modul for each Prof to choose. When uve got now ideas/fantasy, ask me, ive got
Uncertificated Support Robots Modulesare the mesh, the professionmodules are build in. Chassis can grand up to 200 HAM, 1-30 damage/2 sec, 3m/sec movementa and max 10 Data to the droid, depending on creators skill. Depending on droids class and DEs skill, they can hold up to9 modules (and even 6 of the same kind) and ur profession modules:
Storagemodul: Max. item hold 10, so a 6-storagemodul-droide could wear 60 items.
Armor Modul: Max Armorrating0,33, Armor effectness 5%Hitpoints max+300, so a 6-Armormodul-droide would ve 2000 Hitpoints (200 Hitpoint for basic chassi +1800 for moduls) and medium armor 30%, but no storageroom at all.
Weaponmodul: Max Armorpiercing 0,33, max damage 1-30 per 2 sec, so a 6-weaponmodul-droide woulddoMedium Armorpiercing damage 7-210 ever 2 sec (30 damge for chassi), but only 400 HAM and no armor!
Mobilitymodul: Droid moving speed 3m/sec, so a 6-Mobilitymodul-Droide could even move with a swoopbike but vent got any storage, Armor or dmg yet.
Datamodul: Datapad-Enhancement +10, so a 6-Datamodul-Droide could hold up to 60 waypoints, shematics etc for the owner, but still only got chassis benefits.
So look, what could be build by DEs with perfect skills. Lets say ujust masteredScout Prof and decide to buy a Droid.
1. U could build a pure Tank with 6 x Armor + 3 x Weapon = 2000 HAM, 30% med Armor, AP1 4-120dmg/2sec. Since this one is not a big damagedealer, agro often agros u, so u contact another DE to try something else:
2. Support: 3 x Armor + 6 x Weapon = 1100 HAM, 15% light Armor, AP 2 7-210dmg/sec.
Ok, this one is better helping u to survive. But its so **edit** slow. So u wanna make ur DE rich again:
3.Range Support 3 x Armor, 3 x Weapon +3 x Movement.
Ur Droide can follow now easily, when ur runing from mission to mission and soon u mastered Rifleman and Marksman, so u need new modifications.
4. Ur Robot now can ve a Masc Sense+10 from scout and +10 rifle acc from Marksman and ur targeting Acc modul, because ur areal Sniper now. So u buy a newdroid: Masc Sense + 10, Acc target Module,+10 rifle acc, 4 speed modules,3 Armor and 2 weapon modules. The Droid realy supports u now. He stands still and is only guarding. When ur target agros u, ur droid can give u the time to escape. U also can call him back, to follow u.Hes got some armor and good speed and u can often save him from beeing destroyed by comanding "/callpet follow" after u reached u vehicle.
5. Because ur so UBER now u looted a holo: GRINDINGTIME. Ok, ur Holo said uve to become anBioEngenier now, so u need a brand new droid, dont u? Ur crafting now all day long. And sometimes u need to get new DNAsamples or ve to empty ur Flora farms and other harvesters. U dont drop Scout because of Mascsence and runing speed but Sniper. Ur searching at Danthomir for Mutant Rancor DNA and Yavin for BMBQ. This are Big Mobs and they can kill u very quick. So u decide to order another droide from ur favorite DE. Masc Sence +10, 3 x movement Modules,3 x Armor, 3 x Storage.Normaly u command ur Droide to stand still, while ur sampling.UrDroide can hold a bunch of DNA-Samples now, what is a greathelp, because they are not stackable. Sometimes this big Mutant Rancors and BMBQ agro u, but as a skilled player u command "/tellpet guard" and burstrun away from them.Because ur not doing any dmg to the mob, ur droid can pull the agroed mob from u easy, so most time u can survieve. Ok, ur Robot incaps, but in this case u travel back to ur homecity forcrafting BE-Pets and repairing ur Droid by ur best friend, the DE.

2 Suggestions for JTL:
Mutli-Player Vehicles (X34, Flash Speeder, At-21) so it makes he ride more interesting and allows a person to accompany you should they not have a vehicle.
Faction Point Exchange- allows players to exchange faction points from opposing faction to its enemies, this should not include Imperial and Rebel because it would cause a catastrophe to occur, i think it would make Themeparks and other missions easier being able to chnage fp atleast 1 time every 2 weeks or so.
Any ideas or comments on this would be appreciated.

Would be really cool if players could dock with other players yachts and then join them on board. I want to use my yacht as a tactical observation ship and to have my squadron be able to dock and enter the yacht for a briefing or after action review would be awesome.
I also think this would be ideal for smugglers doing business in space where they can be assured no one is watching them??? hmmmmm

Well, yea the speed is pretty crappy
, but since its completely immune to anyone destroying it... I'd say its a perfect mobile command post
.
Wish we could atleast put our own engines in it

I think it would be really helpful for the development team if we could do a little brainstorming here on the forum. You know, put our heads together to try and come up with some really cool ideas for where we'd like to see this profession heading in the future.
Since we had so much attention last week from RED names, I just think that we shouldn't squander this chance. If we put forward some really good ideas in a polite, concise format, I'm sure they'll be eager to work with....
