You can start a city, or get elected as mayor, you can grind it out till you get your starport and the specail city ability you want. When it is all said and done, aside from maintainance, new trainers, and a few gardens, what is left?
Nothing! There is no real content, nothing to really manage, nothing to really develop!
Politician needs more content! We need roads, walls, accually services like police, and zoning rights needs to be expended upon to allow for diffrent zoning types like Residant, commercail, and industry. As it is now, once you get your stuff you want, there is nothing to do but maintain a few buildings.
If we had roads and walls, they could be setup with visable decay where you could have animated services, NPC's and repair vehicals moving around resurfacing stuff. Would be nice to see 2 diffrent trucks and 4 or 5 NPC's repairing a pothole in the road, and police walking around. Heck, you could even make the repair crew NPC atackable by non-residance of the city so the police can argo you. That would add a bit of fun. Yes yes, I am suggesting once again the age old suggestion of have faction points for player cities.
With Diffrent zoning types players them selves could be given more buisness type buildings, and ofcource a repeat suggestion of the mall. Though to expand upon the mall it would be devided in 2 sections, the mayor maintained intire building, and the store spacifice maintained buy the player in buisness, which would house more then one store.A mall should have a min number of 6 avalible lots for buisness. Vendors would need to be expanded on to support more of a visual appeal so the store accully looks like it is sectioned off with those sellable idems. Make the vendor itself look like an accual clothing rack that has 3-7 of the accual clothing in the vendor visable.
With city services, police, maintaince crew, could even have it where the player med center oculd also send out emergancy vehicals to assist in both player and NPC healing while a fight breaks our, but sticking to the resadint players and NPC's only. Non-residant Players who attack city NPC's and other residant players while all involved are in the city can have warrents our for the non-residant players where they could have there hide placed on a local city term for othe rplayers to get an attack on them. The reward would have to be city funded though, and the player mayor would have to review the list of non-residantplayer attacker's and deside on who to add to the city wanted term. Though the mayor would not have complete control over reward, there would be some limited control based on the sevarity of the attacker.
Sence these idea's are more extensive, you could accully add politician posision such as votable player police chef, and other respective posisions.

After the Dev breakfast in Indy or as I call it the "the Tiggs loves the CU dog and pony show" Julio Torres said that they were going to put a special skill in the Master Box....I will hold my breath for that too.

Have you tried any of the Player Event Perks?
Pretty neat tools. Be creative, and make your own content.

The problem with the event tools is most of them cant be placed close or inside any buildings. And when you have a lot of buildigns in your city, makes it hard to use many of them.

I just wonder where the political struggle went? should politicans have political power? isn't there a war and political struggle going on in the galaxy? Shouldnt this struggle be bigger then that of a few jedis(I know that they arent that few any more, but if we try to think i terms of the movies)?

Try to gather the other polticians in your galaxy together and form a player run senate.

One of the beauties of being a Politition in my opinion... Is that, it is up to us to create content where there is none. We can start events in the name of a city, wether they be factioned, combat or social... We have to rally people behind us. We have to extend ourselves like no other profession in the game...
It really is a great opportunity to think "out-of-the-box" in regards to the standard profession roles... A good politition needs no skills to do the job well, no investment of skill points... Nothing but a shift in perspective regarding the game and deciding how to apply the things, contacts, creativity or whatever you may have at your disposal. The possibilities are endless depending on how you approach it.
I'll happily wait for new skills and additions to the profession, but, in the meantime I will apply myself in other ways to make what I do as a politition rewarding given the tools I do have.
