in order of most important for me (1 being the most)
thanks

my importance (also going by what "can happen" rather than wishing it will happen)

1. City Ledger (no game breaking rules here... just more data to plan better)

2. Mayor resignation

3. Master Politician skill boxes

4. list of banned people

5. city improvement.

Definitely the Master Politician boxes as #1. That's six skillpoints worth of waste just to carry a title that should be the pinnacle for us.

#2, and not one I saw. Have the Gardens, banks, garages, and other civic structures manipulate terrain like faction bases do when they flatten a stretch of space.

2. Mayor resignation

3. City income report by catagory.

4. Ban list and add comment to te /cityb command so that the reason they were banned is added to the report along with the person that did the ban.

5. Prevent shuttling TO a banned city.

#12 should be reworded to be more vague. Sorta like, what role will player cities have in terms of the space expansion? Will new civic structures be released that require the SE to be used, as in starports, ground based defenses ala ion cannon in ESB etc.

However I'd have to vote for the master lvl box. It's just wrong to have nothing to shoot for. I understand if you choose to drop all the skills and not use it...but give us something more then a badge and a title.

Another issue I'd like to see get either addressed or just plain 'ol brought up is whether or not they would allow gardens to treat terrain the same as a camp. It just feels wrong to have those steps going up, especially if you are using a "pathway" garden to somewhat represent a street or a connection of 2 areas. Would they be willing to have them force the ground around them to flatten out (which is what they look like in the SS available before the patch went live) and when will we get some new gardens potentially with a bit of a factional flare (statue of palpy)

I'll keep my vote for #1, but city ledgers and resignation are also important issues we should address soon

Here's my top 5 :

1 : Mayor resignation - more efficient way to transition between mayors
2 : Alternative /citywarn - put the militia back to work!
3 : Ability to control "dead" structures in the city - I'd add to this the ability to find out who "owns" a structure atleast then you can contact them
4 : City improvement options - change lanscape, paved roads, etc.
5 : When will the 'city inactivity' feature be reinstated.

#0 Fix Sales Tax Bug


#1 Alternative /citywarn - put the militia back to work!

#2 City ledger - documentary of income/expense

#3 Ability to control "dead" structures in the city - when people quit and leave their stuff around, empty vendors, etc.

#4 City improvement options - change lanscape, paved roads, etc.

#5 Mayor resignation - more efficient way to transition between mayors


futur thoughts:

- Merchant abbility for politicians to set Vendors as Information Portals/Quest givers - place City Information Tents - enter special event ads in bazaar - earn efficiency to city budget (not private buildings)
- Abbility to direct power to "council members" (set houses/taxes/militia ...)

[edit] - Had to add sales tax bug
