Proposal for SWTOR Guilds and Stronghold Owners
Hello SWTOR community, my name is Kelphayus Andarius Isen, one of the leaders of <The Dread Imperium> guild on the Shadowlands server. I have been working on multiple ideas for the game, and how we might be able to expand on certain elements, or diversify guilds apart from one another besides their names/ranks. This idea is not targeted directly to RP guilds alone, rather to all guilds by representing what they truly stand for, and where they stand in their server’s community.
The idea I would like to propose to the community, Bioware, EA, whomever making the decisions, is to introduce a custom banner maker for guilds and personal Stronghold owners. Will bring a little bit of why this is important by citing a few good examples. Before I was a leader of the Imperium on Shadowlands, I used to be the Imperator of the <Reborn in Ashes> guild on the Begeren Colony under the name Darth Villace Isen. RIA philosophy was centered on bringing down the Sith Emperor’s powerbase, and purifying the Empire as a whole. Though we did fly the Imperial Flag, it never seemed as the “true portrayal,” of what we stood for. Same holds true with the Imperium, which is a completely separate entity from the Empire, yet we still fly the Imperial banners. Another example is <The Enomenos Empire> lead by Empress Selvesha on the Begeren Colony, of whom also do not consider themselves an Imperial aligned guild, rather an independent empire.
I would personally like to see a wide variety of guild flags, and for new pictures, animations, or colors NOT to be given to us through Cartel Pack rewards. May get some flak for this, but I used to play Runescape, who actually did introduce custom clan banners creation when their Clan Citadels were introduced. I want to be able to create the image I will link for the Imperium:

I also want to see the flags others will make, because it will truly signify who they are, and what they are about. Guilds should have the ability to create multiple banners, say 5-10, because like every real life nation’s flag, each guild have their own backstory. Anyone who owns their own Galactic Stronghold should have the ability to create their own flags/banners representing who they are as well.
This is just an idea I would really like to see implemented, and I do believe it is possible. If Runescape can do it, SWTOR can most definitely be able to include it for guilds. Please support me in making this a reality, and if you would like to contribute in a positive manner with additional ideas, do not hesitate to write them underneath.
Thank you!
