Im not sure if this was ever asked, I dont look much here any more. Why cant the devs let us have a factional recruiter?.
For those towns that dont have a base this would be the perfect way for us to go overt in our own city when we wont. Oh well nothing will come of it anyways just a idea.

I know my guild/citizens would LOVE to have a factional recruiter in the city. They all hate going to the Imperial OP on Dant now because so many rebs are just there camping waiting for them to declare so they can beat em down Quite a sad day when you can't even go declare without getting into PvP right away or just trying to wait for whoever it is camping to leave. I think a factional recruiter to those cities that just do not want a base in their city would be such a great addition. But will probably never happen /shrug

Yeah as far as I know the GCW correspondant and their threads over there pushed to keep recruiters in NPCs and bases since there would be no NEED to have a base if you could put the recruiters into a city.
I tend to agree with that for now. Until bases are more then just things that cost a ton only to have people come in and blow them up, then they'll need to keep the recruiters as incentive.

What if a mayor of a city could "mark" a base within city limits as a civic structure. Then make civic factional bases not have a vulnerability time. I'd love to havea recruiter in my player city, but I'm running out of individuals that care to risk losing all the faction.

Ok, I hear the same thing all the time.. "then there would be no need for bases". But what about those of us that don't partake in the GCW? Why do we have to go without? I'm sorry, but not all of us want to waste FP on a base for it to just be taken within a couple of days becauseour city/guild just don't care about such things as the GCW. But then we can't fairly even go to an Outpost and declare our faction because the recruiter is being camped by (in our case) overt rebs. If the bases weren't so costly FP wise then sure most wouldn't mind dropping one everytime it got "taken".. but to me even 12k Imp Faction is too costly for my tastes for just a smaller base. What has ruined the fact of trying to declare even more so now is that not only do you have to worry about just overt rebs camping Imperial Recruiters but Jedi as well. Jedi have been forced to kill to get their PvP ranking up.. which to me is quite absurd. You can't go anywhere overt without running into a Jedi/Overt Reb wanting to slaughter you. If cities still wanted bases, which many (but not on my server) do want they would still have that option. But give those of us the same courtesy of being able to declare ourselves without having to jump into PvP right away and risk facing death. I just don't see how that can be classified as "fair". /shrug I know many may not agree with what i said.. but all i'm asking is that ppl try to understand what benefits could come from being able to drop a factional recruiter in your city. Many cities would still get bases just to take part in the GCW. But think about the little guys out there.. the ones that just don't have enough ppl to really care about what happens to a base as their not the ones wasting their FP on it.

If you want a factional recruiter then you ARE participating in the GCW.
You may not want to pay for a base but that's exactly our point. The only reason to pay for one right now is to have the recruiter. Remove the recruiter and see an even greater drop in the amount of bases online.
Until the GCW revamp, don't expect a recruiter in cities. Unless they can be killed

Yes, SOME of my citizens do participate in the GCW.. me, i could care less about going overt. As of right now Jedi's have ruined the form of PvP as we know it. It is no longer fun to participate in such things when you have jedi around force running and force healing themselves (at least for me and some others i have spoke with). Sure I could take a jedi 1 vs 1.. but when they start pulling in more jedi just to get their PvP ratings up thats when alot of ppl don't care to participate in such things any longer. First it was CM's and now it's the Jedi Like i said, I only listen to what my citizens have said to me.. and have stated what they have said. I on the other hand could care less about the GCW as on the Gorath server all you have is a bunch of uber jedi running around or ignorant childish acts being pulled. That is not the true style of Star Wars imho. I know we all pay to play, but there is a certain boundry that should be crossed. And as far as bases go, I've never spent my FP on something as foolish as a base when i know my citizens/guildmates won't stand around daily for 2hrs while the base is "hot" just waiting to defend it. If they want to waste their FP then go right ahead. All i am stating is that for those that do want to go overt, I don't find it right that rebs/imps/jedi (i don't care what faction you are) camp the recruiter just waiting to get a hit in on ya right away.

We don't get a lot of recruiter camping on Tempest. Not that I know of. There really should be a better way to go overt though.

Ok, look at it this way, if you are able to drop a factional terminal in your city then a recruiter should come with that terminal. think about it, a terminal is also in a base so way should we get one and not the other? If a city declares faction they should get the perks that come with it. And yes, i think these squads of troopers should be dropped in imperial faction cities to add to the feel of the game.

yea.. we been pushing this for a while... We made some head way about making city factional... but not sure "how"
one of the "popular" idea would be placing a base (above or underground) in the city that cannot be destroyed by disable (and takes resources like minerals and such to reactivate it) while the base IS active... the recruiter can place place.. once base is destroyed... then the recruiter disappear..
This will be interesting.. like if a city choose a faction..they can place an underground base and place their recruiter.. buy up defenses and place all over the city. another idea is to keep track how many cities get taken over by X faction... maybe the bases cannot be reactivated until 3 days later (to show a true winning side)
