Alright , I don't know for you but I believe strongholds are actually too big , honestly it's way too big.

My idea is to bring back tower building working like neighborhood. We would have floor , with a corridor with doors , which would give access to various sized homes , from very basic to penthouse. Something like 4 basic appartments (A big room and 1 small room) , 2 medium appartments (1 big room and 3 small rooms) and a penthouse (2 big rooms and 5 small rooms).
With the building being really bigger than anything it's simple to add levels (them being always the same haha but you click on it and tadaa you went right in like on Taris in Kotor 1.
Players can lock their home or unlock it haha. Would be very cool to have this kind of atmosphere , plus you have already 4 worlds with the capacity (Corellia , Coruscant , Nar Shaddaa , Dromund Kaas)
Anyway it would be very cool.

On another note:
Adding some spaceship to replace and add some choice for guild flagship AND personal stronghold would be nice.
No we're not talking about capital ship which in my opinion should stay as either Republican or sith , but if we consider they are the Big size ones it's fair to believe Medium sized and small sized ones could be added.
Small being the size of the personnal Starship ^^ and Medium could be the brown ones we saw often.

Also on the same idea , and this time could be working for all the strongholds , the ability to change the walls textures , i mean , the inside ones for the strongholds and maybe the outside apparence for the ship .
While the inside would not change on the disposition of the rooms etc , the outside apparence changes could bring some new ideas and allow non pure Imp/Rep guilds to have a very distinct look (hello Mandos or Gangs guilds ).

Lots of things here but I do believe a lot of them are easy to do
Tell me what do you think about it.

Are you basically asking for FFXIV's apartments/housing system, where players live in phased "wards" shared with one another?

I think it would be nice to have more ship options. I've always wanted a Hammerhead themed more like the Endar Spire/Harbinger.

^-1, Not Signed and Opposed. Where to begin: *CRINGE*, no way are the strongholds too big, [especially for a guild]. Replacing guild strongholds or even personal ones with a high-rise to be shared with whoever is very cringe worthy. Many players like their space/ privacy/ personal instance/ private guild instance and don't like having to live in an apartment with strangers going & coming, and one at that which may be of lower quality than others in the same building (most people will want the penthouse, so the other, smaller rooms ill eventually become vacant). No. This destroys guild cohesion. My mates can log into our joint guild stronghold private instance, enjoy everything I can and conduct business out in the open without strangers loitering around; the sectioning off is counterproductive and making it like a dorm just fragments community. Very far from cool.

Personal starship that doubles as a guild starship makes no sense, as what happens when you switch toon that fly different ship, not to mention other people in the guild is not practical. I do like being able to modiffy or switch out the fury, mantis, phantom, etc we have or even its cosmetic outer appearance or walls/ flooring (not rugs, but actual flooring like other MMOs allow, even much older ones like EverQuest 2. But, Guild and Personal should stay separate.

Why would they have to replace them, why not have both? A stronghold apartment, such as Kaylios. People could open or close it, they way they do now. After all strangers come and go as it is. I can't see how it would change it.
Personally I don't think they'd do it, I could imagine the engine could cope, or even how much work it would take, but it's nice to dream.

I have always been partial to getting a star ship stronghold for my toons to use. Would love to be able to "fly" it over to a planet and park it there. My favorite ship in SWG was my luxury yacht. I would move it to planet to planet and enjoy the scenery.

Used to love that too, hopefully we'll see it in the future

I never said strongholds should disappear... ^^
Neither said that we could have both...
Also I've said that the access can be locked by the owner sooo....no intrusion of any sorts ^^

I don't even get why you write about doubling guild flagship....never said anything about that, I just mean that actual flagship are too much symbols of their factions which is not cool for all players that could have non Imp/republic guilds , plus it's really really big I do love the opportunity to have more choice when I actually wish to buy a Flagship, considering that all strongholds can be bought either for the guild or for yourself why not adding some ships on the same process ? (they did it partially with the Rishi stronghold anyway but it can't fly around haha)
