This topic is here for one purpose, taking in all those ideas non-staff members get and putting them up for public view. So toss 'em up. Can't make any promises but everything that goes in the slush pile will be discussed by the staff!

I would like to propose a Beastiary, it could have everyting from Acklay to Varactyl and would add an additional level of complexity and fun to the various factions and groups. For example imagine attacking an AT-ST with a Rancor wouldn't that be awesome?

Buzz droids are cool! That being said I would like to suggest Buzz droid launchers to the list of Starship upgrades. I figure they could cost 400 credits and you can only have half as many as Warhead Launchers. Also I figure they would do cumulative damage until you get landed or destroyed. (maybe astrodroids could counter too I dunno). Anywho cheers

I'd like to see something that isn't a Pit Droid put in the droid section for vehicle repairs. The only option is that and there's a chance of it going berserk! At the very least, a more expensive option so people can pick.

Also, ever thought about sub-classes for people hitting higher XP when they would make sense. Something like a slaver would be good but would be pointless without experience and we'd probably encourage more slaving if they lowered the chance of the slaves rebelling considerably with their profession bonus. That's just one example that I'm thinking about because it would be the route I take but if there's interest I could definitely think up more.

Hmm. Prestige classes, so to speak...

Well, we're already reviewing the classes in one way. Once we've determined how we're going to implement those changes, I certainly think we can take the time to consider these.

A suggestion and an idea...

Sorry to be nerdy but the TIE Phantom design was essentially lost a long time ago no one would have access to that technology, however I think the ship could be replaced with the Chiss Clawcraft.

Nssis-class Clawcraft

5910 Credits
Moderated RP except if Imperial Naval Officer

With modest deflector sheilds and thicker hull armor, Clawcraft were slower at sublight speeds than their TIE/ln starfighter progenitors, although the ion engines allowed the ship to achieve an atmospheric speed of 1,000 kilometers per hour, and a respectable sublight acceleration of almost forty thousand meters per second squared.

Clawcraft made up for their lower sublight speed by greater maneuverability. Each curved wing could make minor position adjustments and was paired with a mounted control jet to allow a Clawcraft's pilot to throw the ship into sharp turns and complex maneuvers.

Speed: 100MGLT
4 Laser Cannons
Shields: 20 SBD
Hull: 15 RU
Crew: 1 + 1
Special: -20% to be hit

the -20% could be kept but explained away as the vessels extreme manuverability.

But speaking of cloaking devices I would like to propose one for freighter classes. Hibridium cloaking devices exist for frieghter class ships but three problems.

1. Hibibrium cloaks are a double blind, they can't see you but you can't see them.
2. With the Vorknkx type cloaking device going into hyperspace caused your ship to explode
3. With the Vengence type cloaking device it wouldn't work with the shields.

I personally think the best method to balance it would be an extrapolation on the double blind effect so that ships with the cloaking devices would have -20% to be hit but a -15% to hit
( due to the Computerized Combat Predictor giving a slight advantage)

hope you like these ideas

Have a good day
