Politician Archive

Hi everyone,

I am currently working on my politician skill and considering placing a city on Lok. There is only one city on Lok on my server that has been truely successful. There is some support for the idea.

Any mayors want to offer some advice for success on a remote world?

I am planning to offer a free medium house to new residents. I am really curious if anone has some more ideas aside from a flat out bribe.

Thanks!

As a mayor of a town on lok, i guess i should say a few things.

first off, medium Tatooine houses are EXACTLY the same as small tatooine houses, other than the number of rooms. they both take up 2 lots, and they both hold 150 items. medium houses are just more expensive to make.

also, find a large FLAT surface to build on. there are a lot of plateaus on lok, which can cause a huge problem with urban planning.

other than player cities, there are no garages on Lok. so try to get a garage as fast as possible. My city is about 3km away from Nym's stronghold (second closest city to Nym's) so we get a good bit of income from the garage.

if there are no cities near the Imperial outpost POI, consider that area for your city, as there is no shuttle there, and a solo player can pull 8k credit destroy missions from the terminals there. i tend to go there a lot to get faction points, so a shuttle near there is nice.

we're only a level 2 city right now, but i have already received many compliments about my layout of the city, as well as decoration ideas in City hall and the Cantina.

once your merchants hit the ability to get their vendors to show on the planetary map, you'll start getting a lot of foot traffic to your city. (but then again, on Lowca, there are several very large cities on Lok, so Lok has a good number of players on it at any given moment.)

i think player events are vital to a city's survival and growth. sometime soon i need to start holding player events in New Kabala in order to get our name out there, and generate more foot traffic into the city.

also, this is just a pet peeve of mine, but my city has only Tatooine style buildings (other than our guild hall). i really don't like the look of some Tatooine and Some Generic houses in the same town. i like it to have more of a "themed" look about it.

well, hopefully so of this will help you (though most of it seems like i'm just rambling on)

and good luck with your city
