Which planet will you put your primary Stronghold on?

I've been trying to decide which planet to place my primary Stronghold on. The Dromun Kas/Coruscant options do not allow a starship hook AND require you to be subjected to the general chat of that planets (a horrid design decision by BW)...which is...annoying at the best of times. I do, however, absolutely love the size of the "garage" as a party space. Perfect room for setting up an amazing room for large gatherings (suggestion to BW: Make a disco ball lighting decoration, with on/off mode).

The Tatooine one, which is very realistic, is also quite spread out, and most of the rooms are just round copy-pasta windowless circles. The ship hangar, however, is uber nice, should you have the need/want to display one. As an old SWG player, and mayor of a city on Tatooine, it's hard not to want to go that route. Plus, General Chat on Tatooine is at least typically tolerable, even if it is often just filled with chat about balloon rides.

And then there's Nar Shaddaa. I think Nar Shaddaa has the least number of "useless" or "filler" rooms, particularly since most of the ones I would skip will be given to me "free" for being a subscriber. All of the ones I will need/want to unlock are of a healthy size, even though they are expensive.

Personally, as soon as BW adds a stronghold in a more elder planet, I'll likely make that my main...again, due to the gen chat design decision more than anything. Gen chat on Voss or Hoth, for example, is generally much better.

So, for you, my fellow subscriber, which Stronghold will you consider your main?

Nar Shadaa, so all my alts can visit. I'll eventually unlock them all, but I have no intention of putting forth effort on making the others pretty. I'll place the convenience items carefully in each SH, and then slap things down wherever they'll fit.

All.

Unless it is on Quesh, Taris, or Correllia.

Primary residence is somewhat overrated for me. I like having multiple properties.

I'll probably get the Nar Shaddaa one first. If they allow us to have strongholds on other planets in the future, I'd love to move to Voss or Corellia. Hoth would be very atmospheric as well. Belsavis is a beautiful planet, but it's also a prison so I'm not sure that'd quite work out. Ha.

Tatooine for me.

It was either Tat or Nar, so all Alts can easily come and go. And the view from the balcony sealed it for me. I love being able to look out and see the rest of my SH from there.

Plus, Nar Shadaa just feels slimy to me (as a planet) (ok, moon).

Coruscant first and then maybe Drumond Kaas and maybe eventually Nar Shadda.

If they add Alderaan that would be great.

I would put mine on Makeb because I really like how the planet looks its really nice despite that it could blow up any second.

While it seems to be a little daunting to consider filling it up, I'm going with Tatooine as well. Go big or go home, I guess. I'm fairly wealthy in game so that plays a role in deciding.

I'm going for the whole mercenary fortress motif with my Bounty Hunter main. Wanted to get away from people to build up my forces and spread out. NS was my second choice but too many eyes watching there. Eventually, My Smuggler will get that one, Assassin on DK, and Jedi Kinght/Trooper on Coruscant.

All that said, I am going to go slow and get it "right" and not unlock everything all at once.

Nar Shaddaa. OOC its the one I get for free with extra rooms so make the most of it, but IC its a major trade hub with a great nightlife and is open to anyone doing anything.

Besides, how many other planets do we visit in this game that might actually be nice places to live? Everywhere else seems to have either sucky weather, civil war, or be an armpit in the middle of nowhere.

I'll stick with Space Vegas, thanks.
