Create a couple of dark alleys in each city with a crate or something with a cloth draped over it to "work" on. and have that create a slice window that allows the user to place the weapon, armor, or container on/in and doing this gives an extra % to the slice 1-5% maybe.

just an idea.

I like the dark alley part ... but they would just become a mob of people shouting "3k per slice!" and "100cr per %" and "Master Smuggler slicing!!" Maybe slicers could get some benefit for slicing in a cantina. (I like conducting my smuggler business in the back room of a cantina )

But I think you have hit on a key problem... players need to be incented to use the entire city. Docs should get a bonus that even droids cant provide for being in a med center. All those Buff lines should be taking place in the med centers.

They got the entertainers in the cantinas, and the IDers in the salons ... I really wish they'd give Docs a reason to go back to the med center and help thin out the lag fest which is the front of star ports.

Good intentions. It's always good to see the RP in this MMORPG get some due attention.

However, I think that your specific ideawould suffer from some of the things such as IndySWG mentioned. Not to be abandoned though, the spirit of it has some potential.

I like to slice in cantinas too, but if there was actually a slice bonus applied to it then cantinas would lag almost as much as the starports. Especially now with auto-pull gone for all slicing tools, the time factor would keep more players on site, a line out the door, and lag might even make you botch some slices.

But, I agree on encouraging uses for all of the empty real estate in the static cities. Most of these places have great atmosphere, but they're "quiet" as tombs.

You're welcome to share any other ideas to bolster Role Play at the site in my sig line. We brainstorm all the time

I'll post it here but I've posted it in several other threads over the past year or so:

If you want a good RP location for slicing, go to the back of the Coronet starport. There's a work-area set up with corrogated steel as the roof, a table, some chairs, a toolchest, and a table with interesting gadgets on it.

I use this place sometimes and tell people that's it is good for seeing if they were following by any Imperials. I invite them to have a seat while we do our "business".

There are missions in which you "deliver an item while hostiles attack you" in every profession. I still don't consider [Smuggler's Alliance] pilots to be Smugglers, nor 'Smuggling' - at least not any more than Rebel Pilots or Imperial Pilots might sometimes "smuggle", with a lower-case s - JFreeman - 10/6/04

Ok here is a mod on that idea based on your comments and where I think they messed up in the ID revamp.

Put it in the back room of the cantinas but only in certain unused cities. This way different cities would have different purposes.

Looking for an ID hit this city but if you need a smuggler check the back room of keren cantina.

and i agree get medics and docs back in the med centers.
