Guys, the street lights idea.. AWESOME!
By and large it is the best thing to add to a city. The styles are great, and the lighting effective (although a bit more distance to see them would be cool too)
Kudos to you, good thinking and bonus beers for originality!
oh yes and the 1500 credits to run each individual one of them taken from city maintenance that makes complete sense????
I replied to your smacktard attitude in the other thread.
You really need to grow up. Money needs to have a sink in this game. If you cannot balance your city budget effectively, it is entirely clear to me that you should not be a mayor.
but again, thats just my opinion. As your post was yours.
Maybe you can be one of those afk macro grinders in the cantina?
wow..
I had heard that Bria was where the short bus stopped daily... but man.. I thought they were joking!

While I agree with you that sinks are needed, I disagree with the second statement.
Bugs with taxes have prevented us from balancing the city budget. 
This has been on-going for weeks, and we've lost over a million credits because of tax bugs (namely, the Income Tax and Sales Tax not being deposited into the City Treasury). So slight footnote to your statement, heh.

Smacktard?listen moron first off you ahve no clue a thing about my city but i for one see the problem of Money Sinks as a vaild issue especially witht he problem of taxes not being collected properly and other such issues. I have NO problem balancing a budget it's a valid issue that i have raised and if you can't handle that then that's your problem just because i see them asa waste of money and voice my opinion WHICH i am 100% entitled to, i see the simple facet of Armor as a Bigger money sink. Armor plus decay = 300k habit twice a week if you are into combat at all. I go through armor and weapons like candy. getting armor repaired is almsot never worth the investemnt when it could get ruined. No one is forcing you to listen to me but i can see it's beyond your intelligence level to act like an adult for 5 seconds and not toss some rocks at someone, If i was ina mood i'd be tossing rocks at you as well but you are a waste of good bandwidth.
Money does not need to have a sink in this game it has several. The problem is the developers got caught with their pants down when there was duping, then the holocron craze, krayt duping, you name it the economy got toasted. Ultimately they needed an economist to begin with to figure things out. But don;pt try and presume you think you know crap because i state that i find the HIGHLY priced items they charge in this game for maintainig a city to be my claim that i am broke or my city is. On the contrary i find it useless to waste money on such things that are completely and utterly usless save for a few usefull items or items that are somewhat appealing the dantoine meditation gardens are cool. Statues in my city in my honor etc... yes we have those too.

If that was the case why was BRIA the choice to copy and move to test center before the other servers??
simple because Bria is chocked full of all the min maxers out there and every other power gaming war monger who loves a good PVP exploiting session. not that i am for that but keep talking smack about Bria and Bria will soon railroad your forum as well as we did eclipses.

is it the fact that its a sink that bugs you? or that the sink will most likely (or ussually) come from the mayors pocket?
I dont mind picking up the tab... it gives me a reason, and a very real need to leave the city and partake in other things out there from time to time...
It's simply the fact that it is a USELESS feature what part of that don't you understand?
WHY would anyone pay the inflated cost of a overglorified decoration (what it would be reduced to only) paying for reapiring vehicles alone is costly as they reduce in condition very very fast....
Why pay more when they can go to an AI city and in the process pay a set amount? or as it currenlty stands, they can fix their vehicles with a well known bug for FREE?
which do you think IF you can think logically will they do?
The money sink is not what bothers me the fact that it's a complete JOKE that this si what we got to look forward to more useless content at the expense of players and in game at the expense of their toons and the city they live in. It's like we got a Gift for christmas but this gift is more high maintenance then a ferrari and drives like a broken Chevy Nova.
Or a flaming case of Herpes take your pick it's the gift that keeps giving..........
