New Strongholds

I'd love this. Or, hell, even make a stronghold version of the Odessen personal phase. I'd be very happy with that, too.

I'd also love an Alderaan or Makeb palace.

No thank you for hoth.

The ones I would like :

(1) Alderaan (top of my list)

(2) Manaan

(3) Odessen

Hoth would be my first realistic choice. My first actual choice would be Korriban. Manaan would be cool too. I think I'm also the only person who absolutely hates Alderaan.

I know how you all feel

Why Manaan? Unlike Tatooine and Yavin, Manaan has modern buildings, but unlike the other 3 sh's, the buildings are surrounded by water, making a good connection of modern tech with nature.

And, in my free time, few months ago, i did a sketch, of an idea for a sh in Manaan (or any place with plenty of water).

The details are: blue squares for ships spots, 40m/40m, orange for center pieces 10m/10m.
There is no details on walls, no roofs or windows, but i think is enough for you to get an idea of what it could look like.
Plenty of outside area, 3 ship spots, 15 center pieces (1 in roof, 1 inside) 4 small rooms, several large rooms (2 are at least the size of Yavin main room), stairs and ramps, instead of elevator. Makes it less deep under water, but looks better from the inside, to have all areas open and connected. On the lower room, didnt worked much, but i would do something like access to an under water vehicle, to be used as escape pod, or to normal under water travel, connecting to other facilities.

Hope you enjoy and leave your feedback. And if the Devs like it, plz use it, i would be honoured to see it in-game

If anyone with skills with this kind of designs want to help me get the sketch more perfected and detailed, i will gladly share my files. Ty.

I only want more strongholds if they increase the number we can own.

I'm already annoyed that I had to give up coruscant to buy Yavin.

I do not wish to give up Dromund Kaas to get something else.

I own two 100% completed Guild Ships (republic and imperial) along with 4 100% completed strongholds (would have been 5). I would love another stronghold to decorate but do not wish to give up what I've built so far.

I don't even care how (or if) it adds anything to conquest bonus. A very simple change would be to allow as many strongholds owned as you want but just make it so the highest 4 completions count towards the bonus. (assuming they dont want to go over 100% bonus)

Preferably Rishi but Manaan would be cool

Personally I would not be interested in Hoth. All I can do is picture some poor hard core role player in Florida in the middle of july sweating to death while decorating their Hoth stronghold wearing half of the product line from Northern Outfitters

I think, that most planets could get an interesting SH, depending on each player view and likes, but imo, one major change should happen, for us to get more and different SH's.

One of the major changes i would create, is to get different levels/sizes of SH's.
One small size, with a medium/small entrance, 2 small rooms, 1 large room, 1 medium/small size outside area with one centre piece, one ship spot.
Yavin and Tatooine would be on the large size, and i would do some re-work, especially on the outside, with more hooks on empty areas, and even a third ship spot.
Somewhere in between those, would be the medium size, with 2 ship spots.
And then, create the massive/extra large, call it as you like, and could have up to 4/5 ship spots, something like a castle, or a huge military base, i think you get the point.

Not everyone wants or need a huge SH like Yavin or Tatooine, and in most, if not all, most of the small rooms are not used much, because you spend most the time in the large room and open areas. And even nice areas like the Yavin cave, without decent hooks, how many actually spend any time there? Yavin outside area also lacks on good walls, not many spots for posters or placards.

It could help the devs team, if players say what SH and what areas in it they spend more time in. For example, in Tatooine, i hardly enter any of the small rooms, and they are all completed and very nice looking. And even though i spend most the time outside, the lack of decent hooks makes it look like a big waste of space.

Now, i would not mind to have a small SH in Taris, for example, but i dont think it would look nice to have a huge one there. Now, in Makeb, i would love to have a massive SH there, like those Hutts estates, in my own mesa.

Maybe one type/size of SH will look better in some planets, but for other planets maybe other type/size of SH will be better.

And for the conquest points, you can give us the option to chose 4 SH/s for it, means we could have as many SH's we want, but only 4 that we chose will count for conquest. Problem solved.

So, tell us what type/size of SH you would like and in what planet.

As you can see in my previous post, i would like a large size in Manaan, and as said above, one massive in Makeb.

Makeb is a dieing planet. Even with the temporary stability in place it's a world no one would be crazy enough to put a stronghold on. Taris is a plague filled hell hole, it's not redeveloped enough to warrant a stronghold.

Manaan would be nice, but it's like Voss in that neither world is open to outsiders living there.

Large estates would make more sense on developed worlds like Corellia, Alderan, etc. Even Coruscant or Dromund Kaas as the capitol planets would have been nice to have a full on estate not just apartments. Why is a nutjob like Gratham the only one allowed to have an estate on DK? Kaas city is capitol of the Empire and it still feels tiny and underused.

The one they really missed an opportunity with was

YOU DON'T SPEAK FOR ME!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just kidding...I assume someone will say that soon enough, I just wanted to be first

Manana would be nice - gives us a great selection of surroundings too.

But why?
