ORIGINAL OUTLINE POST:::: http://forums.station.sony.com/swg/board/message?board.id=Chilastra&message.id=479569#M479569
At present Politicians are useless except for minor PC City functions this Profession could be so much more engaging with a little work and imagination. I'm going to try to show you what I think could be done to make it more engaging and fun to play in the Political world.
Politician:
A)Political Quests
There needs to be some way to bring intrigue into this profession using different Quests and Projects
1>Involving contacting underground sources through Smugglers
In order for you to get the support you need to run for Planetary Govenor you must first use your Smuggler contacts to set up meetings with prominent NPC's both located on the planet you wish to rule over and outside influences that may reside on other planets.
2>Aquiring support from NPCs
After getting your Smuggler Contacts to set up the meetings with influencial NPCs you have to perform certain duties to show support for their causes in order to recieve their support.Princess Leia: You must take down this Imperial Listening Base on Rori then take the research papers to General Ackbar.( must be completed by destroying the base then having a smuggler ...smuggle the documents to Ackbar without being apprehened.)
3>Some Rewards would be random from a lrg list so that it would divirsify them
Some simple Quests should have a Database of Rewards that randomly get choosen from the list when the Quest is completed. You have completed the Quest: Farth's Son Missing:: Your reward ( could be a new Garden or Sign or Statue with name of the "son" to be placed within the city limits)This random reward system would insure that not every Politician that has completed the Quest gets the same Reward
B)Governing Poli's will be able to align the Planet they are on and give planetary bonuses
The ruling Politician over the planet (Govenor) will be able to do special things for the planet they are ruling over.
1>Upgrading Space stations
If the Politician decides to align the planet with a faction then he must set up defenses against agression from opposing factions arming your Space Station with Weapons (ShipWright Crafted) also buying faction defense fighters using faction points
2>Faction bonus for aligned planets
When Planet is aligned Ground based troops and Faction Facilities (Bases, Turrets, Defensive Structures)will get better defensive ratings also all Faction points will get 5% bonus to the Faction that controls the Planet
3>Better Resource Concentrations
Whether the planet is aligned or nuetral you can opt to have the Planetary Survey Council do extinsive studies on resources on the planet (5% bonus to sampling or all contrations for 1 resource cycle have a 2% increase in yield)
4>Better Patrols against unwanted NPCs
Increase in unwanted Thugs or other unwanted NPCs roaming your Major Cities and Outposts may require you to add more Security Personal to these areas and expanding thier sphere of influence.
5>Pick Quests for Planet(3 choices from random list)
From a Database of 30 Planetary Quests you randomly get 3 choices for Quests to be based on your planet during that time that your planet has this Quest (Usually 2-4 weeks) no other planet can have this Quest. Eventually the Quest DB can be expanded to provide other Quests
**6>Ability to drop Planetary Structures
I think there should be facilities or perks that should be able to be dropped by Governors.
a:PVP Arena
This structure would be roughly a Giant oval stadium mostly filed with cheering and booing NPC Crowds and seating for up to 20-50 PCs. the Fighting area should be roughly 30 by 60m oval to be able to hold up to 6 PCs or 2 PCs with pets. Those that win each fight get put on a win/lose sheet and ranked, the Top Seed in PvP and in PvPCH get a plaque Every 6 months if they have a plaque then instead of getting a new one they just get thier record added to their existing plaque.
D)Ability to drop HoloTerms for news inside PC City
Would be nice to have the ability to have a Holo Term dropped in a PC City to provide some stories about the planet your own as well as the ability to read some Galaxy wide news.
There are already several threads along the lines of what you posted. The Roundtable Discussion, the Issues thread, and the Ideas toSet Player Cities Apart (all linked in the Roundtable Discussion stickied up top) cover a lot of the ground you brought up here. It's just easier to respond to things when it's all in one place.
