Politician Archive

Everyone with an idea of what a metropolis should yeild us as a bonus for well, just being a metropolis ... please put you ideas here.

here are a few ideas (mind you not asking they ALL be incoporated, but maybe one or two or a few, ect).

1.) W/space expantion ... city keeps existing shuttle and also is allowed to place starport. such as the large npc cities of coronette, theed, and several others. Maybe not quite as large as one of those npc starports, but certainly distiguishable from the shuttle.

2.) Metro Mall ... politicians would be allowed to purchase and place a "mall" from an architect. would be placeable as a "civic structure" and take no lots (same as shuttle, c/h ect). would be several stories high ... maybe like 2 or 3 (H3ll ... 10 if the developers are feeling generous lol). would be square with 2 doors on the front so the structure inside could horseshoe. once you walk in one of the doors the halls would be lined with cubbies such as the ones in the pc cantinas. in the inside bend of the horseshoe would be the elevator. one special of this building would be that any citizen could access the structure terminal, pay say a 2k weekly renter's fee and a one time payment of 50k for a vendor (up to 3 vendors can be bought at 50k a piece for any given store) without having to have merchant (prices so high to discourage non merch vendors of course so we dont tip the prof scale by allowing newbie players to plop down a vendor). Of course these vendors would be completely random since they would be "hired out" from the mall, and they wouldnt do anything like bark, but it would let ppl who arent wanting to master merch to have a way of selling their items for more than 6k off the bazaar. If you did not need to hire a vendor from the mall system (have merch), you can create your vendor from the terminal as well at no charge. Once a vendor is bought/created, the terminal would list the "stores" that are currently up for lease. After placing your name on the "storeowner" list, and naming your store (maybe give like an over the door store name like you'd see in a real mall) the store owner will be allowed to place the vendor(s), decorations, ect ... but only in their assigned "store". As well, the mayor would be able to add noncitizens to a list of "storeowners" so they could access the terminal as well (kinda like admin). The store owners would be charged 2k a week rental that would be withdrawn directly from their vendor's maintenance pool into city treasury. and if a vendor completely empties its inventory, it will be given 2 weeks to restock or the vendor will be deleted and the spot will be opened up for another store owner.

3.) City Park ... craftable by an arch ... similar to a garden ... only larger. Would have several features ... benches, sidewalks, fountains, ornamentation, ect.

4.) Ability to place all of the trainers IF your city choses the IJM specialization. If not, we should at least be allowed 20 at metro. lvl1 = 0 trainers/lvl2 = 5 trainers/lvl3 = 10 trainers/lvl4 = 15 trainers/lvl5 = 20 (or all trainers w/IJM spec).

5.) Able to place a faction base. Arch craftable faction bases that take no lots (used as a civic structure)

okay that is all the brainstorming i have for now. thanks for listening and please place your ideas below.

here is another one ...

metro gets a city chat line

We are rank 5, and I could always have room for a few more trainers. 15 just does not seem like enough. I am always being asked to change them out on the fly as people holo grind..
20 would be much better I think.. not lots, but better..

I like the ideas of being able to place a mall and a base. Would save a lot of lots and give the mayor a little more control over placement.

I really wish we had had a mall when cities came out. Now we have a bunch of vendors in a market, but it really doesn't seem like a shopping area as much as a jumble of tents on a slope full of grass (cough paving cough). Starport would really make our city thrive-we are on corellia, so most people are going through coro when traveling.

A mall would be great. I'd also like to see hotels, starports,a bump up in area and decorations, trainers (maybe a 'science' institiute where they all go) along with some resident perks, like reduce maintenence fees or higher item storage limits.
