My #1 recommendation:
Get a very solid core group of people behind you. Install your character as Mayor and build the core community into something that will outlast the up's and down's of this game. Every city has to deal with "churn" as people come and go from this game. Have a solid group of mature friends working with you to build the community will make yourcity a success and something that other people will want to participate in. No matter the size of your city population, if you have a good group of friends to sustain the city, your community will flourish.
#2 Recommendation:
When you get your community to a reasonable size, say 60 citizens, take the time to hire a deputy mayor to help you with city communications, marketing and the finances. This really requires someone to access the "Mayor account" so make sure you trust the person. But this is probably the MOST helpful thing I have set up while a mayor. It allows me to be offline building wife faction, while the deputy is online helping people in the game -- and vice versa.
There are other tips and tricks to successful mayoring but I will wait for you to ask some specific questions. The politician's that participate in this board are very helpful.

k well my only main gripe at the moment is that im not sure which planet to go for i have a shortlist above but tatooine , corellia , naboo are awfully full and am not sure if there are limits on player cities after a point , talus would be the next best optionalongsidelok , but yavin , dath and endor are empty of cities i was wondering if we are able to build on these because dumping a city and getting it to shuttleport status would be good if city was near geo cave / DWB etc for ppl who regularly go to such places forgive me if my ideas are a little shortsighted ive come from a rifles /CM template and am now a bit bored of fighting etc and want to do something constructive but dont want to balls it up so my choice of location is very important , and thnx for your help so far

Nope, you can't build there.
My suggestion on building a city. Based on how big you plan to become, you will want to pick an area that has enough room for growth. No good to start a city, if less then half the land is usable for placing houses, and civil structures.

When I was newb.... I wanted nothign more than to live on naboo tat or Corellia... but.... now that I have some cobat skills... I relaize why the guild founded the city on Lok... You want your city on a planet like lok or Dantooine.... good paying missions and exp rich mobs. but you need some prereqs for living remotely...
1) Afk buff bots...
2) a master doctor(s) nearby.
Why Dantooine?
Dantooine is Rich with jantaas great 30K missions. and can use tat and naboo houses. NAboo 2 small houses take 1 lot.
Why not?
Dant is laggy.
Why Lok?
Lok is exp rich and everything is hard. no lag and lots of room and no shortage of things to kill and loot.
Why not Lok?
1800 one way trip on or off planet. Everything is hard everything seems to agro

kk this is good what are your views on talus ? also are there limits to how many cities can be built on planets as chimaera is a busy server and dantooine , tatooine , lok , corellia , naboo have lots of cities on them ?

the limit on cities per planet is in one of the links in the sticky (I think the FAQ), and I think talus is pretty

Dont rush to place gardens in your city. They are expensive to maintane. Unless you have a great deal of credits to donate to the city treasury, you will want to hold off on placing too many decorations. The city taxation functions are buggy, at best. You will generate the MOST reliable income from Property Taxes, Travel fees, Garage feesand Income Tax. Forget about the sales tax -- it is borked.
