so, after Publish 13's storage increase, and veteran rewards, I was able to make big improvements to the decoration of my guild's HQ.
Little tidbit about the guild, it's an Imperial-aligned guild of Rangers (or at least master scouts) responsible for various tracking, hunting, intel, etc. (I'm the guild's more or less undercover scoundrel.)

So, the general idea is that the guild hall is the HQ for this divion of the Imperial forces.

First, there's the Main Room.
Not quite finished yet, but it's a fairly straightforward auditorium, meeting type room. On the back wall is a galactic map, with all the planets represented.
Left side - Right side - Towards the door

My next favorite room is upstairs, just off the patio: The Ranger Lounge.
Gives a nice cozy place for Rangers to feel "at home" in the outdoors, even if they have to be indoors in the HQ.

I don't have screenshots for the rest of the rooms here, mostly because they're not quite done yet, but the same upstairs landing on the opposite side is the Officer Lounge. It has some of the blue couches, and fancy glass tables. Gonna get a nice painting or two, and keep it all fancy-smancy for any brass that might happen by.
The back room behind the main room is going to be turned into either office space, or a Ranger shrine, for those who are no longer Rangers, in their memory.

Heading back downstairs, and down the elevator, two the left are the offices for the Commanding, and Executive officers. Not fully decorated yet, but your standard office & desk fare, with lots of little details like patrol reports, uniforms decorating one wall, etc.
The right has the crew quarters, with bunks a few tables and chairs, and a locker, and the Ranger Workshop, where hides are tanned, traps, camps, and camo kits are made, etc. Random resources and foraged bits decorate a couple work tables.

But at the end of the hallway, we have my crowning glory... the Command Center.
Walking inside, we see the obligatory Wanted Posters.
Some technical consoles where officers can track and compute and such things, as well as the desk for the Intelligence Officer.
But, what's that in the corner?

It's the heart of the command center.
(Nevermind my annoying glitch where the consoles show up textureless)

Working at the console. I look damn fine in uniform.

What do you guys think? Good use of veteran rewards?

That is an awesome command center and lounge! Where do you get all of those pieces from?

Ohhh, I agree. The Imperial banners are the foremost thing (so much so that I think they're really the only thing) on my wishlist.
I want one of each side of the map on the back wall there.

I'm still not done, although the Ranger Lounge and Command Center are more or less finished, unless I come across something that really needs to go there.

I still have to add the finishing touches to the offices, the Officer Lounge, and do... something to the main room to make it look better.


Forgot to mention that off to the left side, back in that confusing corner where the stairs are to go up to the Lounge is a waiting area, and an office for the ISR recruiter.

The red & black databanks are the 12 month veteran rewards. I bartered with a friend for one, and the other two pieces are from me and my alt.
The technical consoles (with and without the little hologrammy thing) are part of the loot kit stuff.

I'm by no means rich, and I've had to keep offing tier 1s and 2s in space for lots of components to sell, just to keep up with my decorating habit. Mostly, a lot of constructive bazaar and vendor crawling has gotten me this stuff for fairly cheap. I've probably spent around 1 mil picking up various decorations, furniture, paintings, and stuff for that place.

Hey if you want to send some of those databanks through a magic portal I could use em

MY PRECIOUSSSsss.... *cling*

When I first though up the concept for the command center, I thought it would be great if those databanks could be put in there, but at the time, they didn't exist in the game. Disappointed. I was like a kid in a candy store when they announced the veteran rewards, and last night, as I was decorating.

You sure you didn't rebind it to something else?

Otherwise, you can try alt-printscreen, then alt-tab, or Windows-key out and try to paste it into a graphical editor (MS Paint will do) and try to rely on the windows function for that... should work even if SWG's printscreen fails, unless it's bound to something of course.

Other thing you might wanna try is a full system scan on SWG, see if it helps. That's my plan to see if I can get my damned white technical console bug to go away, since it doesn't seem to be a graphic setting.
