Thread: The Questions
Finally the Politican Forum was created! Thank you so much! I've been waiting for the politican field since day 1. (You should see my signatures from back then, they read Future Politican!)
I have some questions to ask about being a Politican...and a suggestion.
Q: How does faction affect the politican. We can place faction terminals it says, but does one have to have faction (say Imperial) to place an (Imperial) Mission Terminal. (My goal is to remain Nuetral and therefore have a nuetral city with both Rebel and Imperial missions in it.)
Q: If the Mayor has to be part of a faction, do they have to be overt? If so, a suggestion is that if someone attacks the mayor all the militia is able to attack that person.
Q: In the future will it be possiable to run for election in a non-player city? Or perhaps some of the non-player cities will disappear as there are more and more player cities?

Well, I have read all the "answers" and did not see this...
Will all cities be laid out in a large circle? Or will we be able to have an elongated city or even a more odd shaped city?
Reason I ask is that I have been surveying and there are many nice spots that may not be wide enough the maximize the city's potential size.
Question 2...
I know the answer is currently no, but will we be able to build a city in extreme terrain such as mountains?
Due to current building restrictions we cannot. But just think if you could design something as beautiful as Deeja Peak. I may have a solution. When you drop the structure it levels out the terrain just like a camp, but only allow this for structures within the city limits.And maybe require to bemaster Politician to be able to build in such terrain. If it can be done by NPC's why should players not be able to build in the same places with a certain level of skill?
My main question is maintence.
What does it cost per building type? I know you may not know all of them, but could you at least list what you do have. Is there any breaks for having different skills as a politician?
I am tring to plan my PA's City and need some ideas on this please.
Q. Can I put decoration and furniture in City hall, Cantina, Medical center, Theater, Cloning center, Garden, Shuttle port?
Q. Does Merchant Tent work like a normal house?
Q) Since structures like Hospitals and Cantinasare placed by players do the players pay the upkeep or the city?
Haven't seen these answered in the Answers thread, so here I go:
1) Will one person be able to be a mayor (or run for mayor) in more than one city?
Reasoning behind this: Our PA is planning on having 1 or 2 smaller outposts and one large city. But currently there is only one person, who will take up the politician skill for sure. Can he run for mayor in all cities/outposts?
2) This might have been answered, but I think I didn't quite understand it:
Let's say a city hall is built close to my house. I don't wish to be a resident of the city (maybe because those darn Imps put the city hall up 
). Will I still have to pay their taxes?
Can they ban me from the city, even though my house is there?
Cantinas:
Can you grant Admin rights to somebody else in addition to the "Master" who placed it, once the structure is placed?
Can you add vendors to the Cantina?
What is the storagecapacity for Cantinas?
1) What are the locations of the Politician Trainer and the Urban Trainers (in test center) on Tatooine? For that matter you can list other planets as well. We will need to know this as I want to get our going quick and don't want to hunt all day for these two. One guild member is hunting for the Politician and another for the Urban Planner to get the skill to combine the City Hall resources.
2) What is the minimum amount of people/houses to make a town/outpost? I have a small group of 3 of us way way way way (did I say way) out in the outskirts. There was only enough plotable land for 4 houses. One medium and three small. Rest is undeedable atm. Which leeds me to question three.
3) Will placing a City Hall make more of the land around the previously undeedable area deedable?
4) Will a Novice Politician be able to drop more than one City hall for a second town on a second planet or far away on the same?
5) And finally, What's the airspeed of an unlaiden swallow?
How big is a building unit? When you say the City Hall is 7x9 or 7x10, is that referring to the square size of a personal harvester = 1?
Do you know how big a structure factory is compared to a City Hall? That's what's acting as placeholder at the moment, but I don't know if that leaves me enough room. How does it compare to a PA hall for size?
Q: What do abilities do you get at each of the ranks? (We know
