Imperial / Republic officers

[Goof]

As we now have our Strongholds on Dromund Kass and Coruscant . It would be nice to have some Officers either standing or at a computer terminal to add as a focus point with the guards that we can have placed in our Strongholds . As of the Stronghold on Naa Shaddaa either robot sentries or automated guns .

Sorry, couldn't resist.

You can whip up some neat things without a lot of effort, still. For example, this is what people see when they come in my stronghold on Nar Shadda:

Those droids on the sides are just the Industrial and Synthetic fabrication droids. But they look ready to shoot, right? Use a Czerka corner desk cocked at the right angle, throw C2-N2 behind it as your receptionist, and you're all set. You could easily have some guards around, but I'm trying to keep my NPC limits low so I can squeeze in all my Republic companions there in the room behind him.

 

Throw up a frozen-in-carbonite bounty, a wall security panel for flair, and blam - a look that says "We'll give you a hand with whatever job you need, but don't mess with us because we'll screw you up faster than a Gammorean in a rancor den."

Sure, C2-N2 would make a great receptionist or taxi station attendant . . . if he didn't show up as a holo on all my characters but the one that placed him. >.<

 

Similarly, Lt. Iresso would be great posted as a guard, and I'd love to stick Ensign Temple in a uniform and have her observe a few NPC soldiers . . . but again, the effect would be ruined by the fact that they usually show up as holos.

 

That's not to say that NPC's wouldn't be great to have even if Companions didn't show up as holos. NPC's may have different poses/animations than Companions, can be vendors, and come all decked out in a specific outfit so you don't have to go hunting for something just right for them to wear. And I am all for the OP's suggestion. ^^

I think everyone with access to that NPC will see them however they have them configured. I.E. all my Rep guys will see C2-N2 there, but an Imp guy would see the holocall version of him.

Thanks for the info, I didn't know that! Won't be any help for the strongholds I use cross-faction, but it may come in handy for my DK one.
