Hi, i know that anyone can make their house name in color using hex code.. but wouldn't it make more sese to make color signs only available for merchant?


I asked around and most new players assumed they could only make colored signs if they were merchant... why? because that makes sense.


If you dissagree I perfectly understand. Noone wants to give up the ability to color their signs. But this just seems like something that should be exlusively for merchants.


Comments?

its just a nice feature to add color, no need to complicate things. If they want to add anything to merchant maybe give us more characters to use in our signs, like something that flashes like a neon sign or scrolls like a billboard.

Lettering on the actual signs would be nice, rather than just hovering in the air.

I'd even be chuffed to be able to chose an 8-character word that would be put on a sign in coloured, illuminated Aurabesh characters (you'd still be able to select the sign and have the same functionality as now though), perhaps with a choice of pre-desinged logos (a rifle, a cadaceus, a helmet, whatever). Imagine what Coronet would look like at night if people rented shopfronts in the city (see another thread!) and used flashing neon advertising hoardings to draw the punters in...

Ah, well - I can dream!

Maybe... there could be a firework set off from the base of the house every hour for an increase in maintenance.

Put it in the advertising tree.


I like thinking up small things that help out a proffession... rather than looking for attributes that should be removed.



Any more ideas?

If anything I would like to see Master Merchants get a couple more lots. Man the limit of 10 is tight if you don't have any vendors in malls and need to set up shops, plus harvs, plus factories. Anyway, just my 2 cents.

There's a complete explanation of hex colour codes at HTML Goodies. Just remember that you need to put "\#" before the six-digit code to get it to work in SWG - and that some people can't use the backslash character!

If you type \ out-of-game, you can then copy-paste it into the game.
