Player Housing Planet

Ummmmm.....No.

Making a new post here because I have another idea.

 

After your first character, on each faction, gets the ship you get a quest. The quest is to go to an abandoned droid factory. The factory is in an asteroid. You get there and have a nice animation of your ship flying into an old hanger on this asteroid. Once you land your in a big room with your ship and space for a few more ships... Looks like any other hanger but its got time weathered damage. Also a few rogue droids running around. You then clear the old factory. You basically, with the help of your companion, are doing a solo flashpoint. Maybe a few golds and silvers.

 

Once its cleared you head to fleet and turn in the quest. The NPC tells you they arent going to do anything with the asteroid, you then get the option to "take" it for your home base. You then pay a few thousand credits to get some cleaning and repair droids sent there.

 

When you return to the asteroid you see its now alot cleaner. You can then start putting in decor. Again stuff from crafting, quest rewards, loot drops, and cartel market. Its huge too. You got a hanger that is big enough for 4 ships. Also it has several rooms. Including about 20 sleeping quarters. And 4 bigger bedrooms. A huge meeting room. And additional about 10 more big rooms. You can make them what you want.

 

As you unlock companions your companions will be seen wandering around the station. Maybe sleeping or just talking to one another. You can do your companion conversations there as well.

 

If you have another character in your legacy on that faction they are also housed at this base. Their ship and companions will be there as well wandering around. Maybe even seeing the other legacy characters wandering around. Where double companions would happen "I got a juggie and a marauder" you would only see one of the companions. Also the companions would have a base "homebase outfit" each would wear so as not to overload database queries.

 

So lets say you are Imperial and have 1 of each class. Also all companions have been found. You go to that asteroid and there are four ships sitting there. Also 20 companions wandering around the station plus your 3 other characters. You cant really interact with them that much. But then again maybe you can. On your agent you talk to your juggernaut about some legacy XP mission or your inquisitor can talk to your BH about gathering some material and get a small temp boost on a crew skill. Sky is the limit here.

 

Oh and there is a smaller hanger as well off to the side. What is that for you ask? Well when you click to go to your asteroid a window pops up. "Travel to your home station" or "Travel to friend's station" This lets you visit other stations of other players.

 

As for guilds they can do something similar as well. Only their mission to clear is much more difficult. Basically a true flashpoint sized mission with bosses and the like. And the guild asteroid is much much bigger. Possibly its a guild cruiser like people have been asking for instead. If your a member of a guild when you go to your station you can see the guild cruiser right there outside the force field.

 

Maybe the "house" is a space station not as asteroid that has to be cleared. Or it could be a derelict cruiser. Heck on the CM they could sell different kinds of "stations" for you to purchase. But because of the size you could make it into anything you want it to be. A shrine to Marka Ragnos, a droid factory, a hospital, a full blown battle ready station, a tribute to Hello Kitty. Whatever you want.

 

This, so much this.

Havign this be what happens would also create a purpose for legacy int he game other than just server based account unlocks.
