OK Doc....see if you can get info on how Merchants will fit into space.....
My intial questions are :
Will there be space stations?
Will merchants be able to have vendor space on them?
The SE offers a tremdous oppurtunity for merchants...if done right and a couple of other changes are made, a new era of trade and commerce could emerge
There will be Space Stations that much is clear from the text of the various things that have been posted and a concept art picture of one.
As for getting info I don't hold out much hope of getting any info about details like that until after the expansion goes to beta. Correspondants are currently getting the same answer you are about it "Too soon to talk about it"
I agree that t here are some amazing possibilities to space based commerce that could come out of this if it is done right.
Centerpoint station, with it's Dyson's Sphere type of inner shell environment, is home to Hollowtown (what an appropriate name).In the timeline of Ep IV-V, it is a thriving metropolis of a space station between Talus & Tralus and a wonderful potential dungeon /city / zone. Of course it will be rendered uninhabitable in a few years (post Ep VI) by the Starbuster Plot, but then so will the Empire come to pass and that dosen't hurt their current recruiting any.
While it may take the patience of a couple of years to come to fruition, such places as this and countless other possibilities are bound to eventually have some type of player merchant presence possible.
Oh my, that does bring up the possibilities of harvesters in space too, dosen't it......
