Hey Plinka, Congrats on getting this board established.

I was wondering if the PC Buildings are the same for all planets. And , if you know of any site that has pics of them. Thanks.

Also, how does the property tax work? Does it come from the maintence fees from the residence or directly from your bank account? Thnaks again.

Are the footprint sizes for PBC objects the same on all of the planets orare the Naboo/Corellia ones different from the Tatooine ones (like Guild Halls)?

If the sizes differ, can we get those sizes?

Q: How does Taxation work?
A: For income tax, it's a weekly amount deducted from the player's bank account. For property tax, it's an hourly percentage added to maintenance fees. For sales tax, it's a percentage added to the sale price on a vendor. For shuttles, it's an amount added to the ticket price.

Sorry for being a little thick here, but... Added to maintenance fees? Meaning that we'll have to pay more for maintenance? I'm just trying to clarify it for myself.

(Just ans Example) Say maintenance is100 credits per hour, property tax has been set by the Mayorat 10%, then when I pay for maintenance on my residence, my fee's will be 110 credits per hour... Am I right in my thinking here?

I think you are right.

Using your example, this is only about 1700 more per week, nothing noticable (unless you own a PA...).

Do civic structures take up the politicians lots?

No, Civic structures are owned by the city. This includes City Hall, Bank, Gardens, etc.

Structures such as Hospitals, Theaters and Cantinas are owned by players.

If question 2 is referring to footprint sizes then I have all the info here. If not then sorry for posting.

The one I am currently missing is Theatre.

Dimensions are Front x Side

Shuttle Port

Footprint 7 x 5.

Structure 4 x 5.

The structure is centrally placed, 0.5 from the front and back and 1.5 from the left and right sides. The entrance is at the front and is the only way in. The ticket machine is on the left and the ticket droid is on the right (as you face the building).

Large Garden

Footprint 5 x 5.

Structure 3 x 3.

The structure is centrally placed (just over 3x3 in actual size) and the gardens vary as far as entrances are concerned. There are pictures on the SWG website. If they are on an uneven surface then you will see steps form around them (all buildings form some sort of steps when placed like this) in a pyramid shape up to the footprint size.

Cloning Centre

Footprint 5 x 5.

Structure 3 x 3.

The structure is 0.5 from the back, 1 from the sides and 1.5 from the front. There are some steps placed centrally at the front measuring 1x1.

Cantina

Footprint 7 x 7.

Structure 4.5 x 4.5.

The structure is 1 from the back, 1 from the right (looking from the front), 1.5 from the left and 1.5 from the front. There are some stairs 1.5x0.5 placed centrally at the front.

Bank

Footprint 3 x 3.

Structure 1 x 1.

The structure is centrally placed and you can enter from any side.

Merchant Tent

Footprint 3 x 3.

Structure 1 x 1.

The structure is centrally placed and has one entrance at the front.

Medium Garden

Footprint 5 x 5.

Structure 2 x 2.

The rest is the same as Large Gardens.

City Hall

Footprint 9 x 7.

Main Structure 4 x 5.

2 Wings on each side 1.5 x 2.

Front Area 5 x 2 (some of this is inside Main Structure).

Basically this is a cross shaped building, the back is 1 away and the sides of the wings are 0.5 away with the front being 3 away. There are some steps centrally placed 2 x 0.5.

Hospital

Footprint 5 x 5.

Structure 3 x 3.5.

The structure is 1 from the front, 1 from the sides and 1.5 from the back. The door is on the far right hand side.

Small Garden

Footprint 3 x 3.

Structure 1 x 1.

The rest is the same as Large Gardens.

Misc

The following don't have a footprint but do have a 1 x 1 structure sixe however seem to be able to overlap other footprints.

Gungan Head Statue and Fountain.

Mission Terminals can be placed almost anywhere it seems and are tiny.

Can a merchant declare a tent as their residence?

Okay, I know we can't place faction recruiters, but why not? Also, can we place Faction Terminals?

OH! And (since our future city was going to be a haven for Bounty Hunters) can we place Spynet Opperatives? I would love that

Plinka, great job! Keep up the good work!

The great thing about being a politician is no one will ever scream "Nerf"... I hope...

Does the Merchant Efficiency Line decrease the cost of city structures?

Question:Can we get a list of Maint cost for each structure?(there is alot of single structure maint costs around, but can u compile the whole list , so we can plan some things out?)

Thanks

Thanks of the foorprint sizes, but my original question still remains:

Are footprints the same size on all of the planets?
