RaithHarth Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 (edited) After playing the Manaan flashpoint it got me thinking that we could really use a under water stronghold, I was thinking that it should have two levels a upper level which consists of surface above the water where you can station your personal starships, and a underground level, where you can station a submarine with the surrounding marine life swimming around your glass interiors Here are some ideas for strongholds: http://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2013/01/dezeen_Worlds-largest-underwater-hotel-planned-for-Dubai_7a.jpg http://themaisonette.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/Hotel-resort-wonderful-dubai-underwater-water-discus-hotel-home.jpg http://www.deep-ocean-technology.com/fileadmin/dot_en/galeries/hotel/3.jpg http://www.decodedstuff.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/utopian-sea-cities1.jpg http://www.arthistoryarchive.com/arthistory/architecture/images/UnderSea-Condo-13.jpg http://www.tuvie.com/wp-content/uploads/seaorbiter-by-jacques-rougerie2.jpg http://www.environmentteam.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/underwater-living-concept.jpg http://ussubstructures.com/downstairspage.jpg https://d2t1xqejof9utc.cloudfront.net/screenshots/pics/bf3abfdd74fb6c030a7ee9b4255a2607/medium.jpg And look at this indoor under water patio: http://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2013/01/dezeen_Worlds-largest-underwater-hotel-planned-for-Dubai_5.jpg http://pursuitist.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Luxury-Underwater-Hotel-Dubai-06.jpg http://storage.canoe.ca/v1/dynamic_resize/sws_path/suns-prod-images/1297379186903_ORIGINAL.jpg?quality=80&size=650x Here is what an under water bedroom would look like: http://articlesforthehome.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Underwater-Home.jpg http://articlesforthehome.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Underwater-Home-2.jpg http://www.fubiz.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Poseidon-Undersea-Resort-Fiji-4.jpg Edited September 1, 2014 by RaithHarth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZorakMalor Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Lore wise, Manaan would not work for Strongholds.... however... if you were to say.. make it on the Mon Cal/Quarren home world.. that might be better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elendiil Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Manaan would definitely work for Strongholds? Why not you even get the Submersible as a Speeder I for one would love to see a Manaan Stronghold. It's as plausible as any other. And sure you've got the "crushing depth's" to worry about... In the Flashpoint you escape in the very same looking submersible, so overall very possible: Plus Manaan being a neutral world - Highly possible they'd outfit it to high buying customers. Tis a trade world after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZorakMalor Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 The only trade is on the surface. You need special permissions to go below a certain depth. They closed off the world long ago to outsiders and only recently opened up that one city above to trade with the galaxy to aid themselves. They're not going to allow the galaxy to suddenly "move in" and build homes all over the place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not unreasonable to get permission for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PavSalco Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 If Manaan stronghold looked like that I would sell my real house and buy any amount of CC to unlock the whole stronghold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're not going to allow the galaxy to suddenly "move in" and build homes all over the place. You do realize that there are, lore wise, only eight characters in SWTOR? i.e. there aren't ten thousand members of the Dark Council, or untold legions of Cipher Nines, or half a million smugglers who took the Esseles to Coruscant? i.e. They wouldn't have to allow a galaxy to move in, they would only have to allow eight people to build a private stronghold at (presumably significant) cost. Otherwise, how is is possible for thousands of people to have EXACT same view of Kaas City as I do? - Arcada Edited September 2, 2014 by Nydus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're not going to allow the galaxy to suddenly "move in" and build homes all over the place. To foster diplomatic relations with both Empire and Republic (and maybe to help keep tabs on their actions), the Manaan government has decided to allow a few prominent members of each faction to establish apartments on designated "Offworlder housing" platforms on the planet. Or something to that effect. A Manaan stronghold makes at least as much sense as Voss, and more sense than Makeb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure it would. Manaan economy is hurting, so they start to sell real estate alongside their Kolto business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TempusFugitTwo Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 (edited) /support Even though Alderaan's my favorite planet. Well i think it would be a poor investment to buy property on Alderaan... High tax rate is the least of Alderaans future problems!

Well that doesn't happen for a few years so I still would like to live on Alderaan and then close tie would be Manaan. (Note: Even with what happens to Alderran it is still better than living on Tattoine! The heat and all that dust? No Thank you! Lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murasakikitsune Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 It could possibly work with lore. Upon seeing their economy flourishing, they could have been rebuilding Ahto City. The key would be to keep even closer tabs on everything that goes on in the city with routine inspection and cameras. Security cameras inside apartments could work nicely.

SplashNOR Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 If Manaan does not work then the Mon Calamari homeworld of Dac would, or even Kamino. They could include a SH if they create new content for the next chapter when they include a new planet, and your suggestion seems plausible and not lore-breaking.

I think having a surface and a underwater level would benefit everyone, sure Manaan might not be possible because of the lore behind it without breaking it, but Dac or Kamino would be possible, besides there are plenty of water worlds in the star wars universe.

RaithHarth Posted March 21, 2015 Author Share Posted March 21, 2015 /agree It would seem the only possible water worlds that are available in the star wars universe would be: -Manaan -Dac -Kamino Now if Bioware was able to somehow make it possible for either of these worlds to have strongholds, then I think this would benefit everyone, sure when it comes to Manaan there is a lore to consider, but I would gladly pay extra to get either one of these in the near future.

AragarVarnus Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Manaan, Dac or Kamino would be awesome. Or all three of them if you dare. /support Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
