Koichi Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 (Only directed to those that are getting the Yavin IV Stronghold). I'm planning to decorate similar to how Luke Skywalker started the New Jedi Order on Yavin IV. Using the old Rebel base as a Jedi Temple. Naturally, that involves Jedi, astromechs, starships and starfighters, turrets, training grounds, Anti-Air Turrets, old Jedi and Sith Relics, and old Yavin IV statues. I initially was hoping for a Hoth Stronghold to copy the Empire Strikes Back Rebel Echo Base, but I guess this is just as good. I didn't bother getting the Tatooine stronghold, because I knew that something more to my taste would come along. Though Yavin IV wasn't at the very top of my list of strongholds I wanted, but after watching the streaming, I'm warming up to it. I still want to see every inch of it in PTS though. I want make sure that it really is worth the 13 mil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Veronyka Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Hi, Our republic-side guild is a pirate guild and so (seeing as our Imp guild already has Tat and Rishi may be a distant dream) we will be getting it and decorating like an old abandoned temple that we use as a hidden hideout whilst raiding tombs for valuable ancient sith artefacts etc. I think our Indiana Jones types in the guild will enjoy it Regards, Ashigaru Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlrikFassbauer Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 I'm planning to make some sort of zoo / museum out of it. At least that's my plan. Don't know whether my plan survives contact with Reality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm having to farm for recovered relics to get that center piece Master Holocron. Just one of the many things on my list of things to get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banthabreeder Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 I'm hoping to turn mine into an art gallery. Paintings and statues strategically placed with benches placed so you can sit and enjoy them. Plants, fountains and such to liven up the place. I noticed there are NO WINDOWS so I know a unique trick to make it appear as if there are windows, well stained glass windows at least. Hopefully it will pan out. If your on the Bastion server, visit Doggonecrazy's Nar Shaddaa Stronghold to see what I'm talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senrie Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Minimally. Excited for Yavin because I like how it looks undecorated so I won't have to spend millions more on it. Few beds, couple statues, some chairs. Massassi all over. I also want it to be a temple so getting the training grounds/classrooms looking like such will be the hardest part. Severe lack of personnel options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafaman Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Less is more. There will be some furniture of course, but it will not be casino lounge area. It is going to be a guild stronghold so that may change, but sparse on the lounge chairs and heavy on the impressive throne an statuary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FerkWork Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 I have 8 Yavin Temple Ceiling lights. Hope that will be enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I did with Tatooine. And then I made it public. But of course, since it isn't at the top of the list, people won't visit it. I really like its raw power err look.

ScarletBlaze Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Haven't really decided except for a couple things. The waterfall area I am making a garden. On the very top I will put a Mandalorian statue (that is for my boyfriend) . Other than that I wait and see after I see the rooms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You decide what you plan to place for your starship/massive hooks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koichi Posted June 7, 2015 Author Share Posted June 7, 2015 (edited) I have 8 Yavin Temple Ceiling lights. Hope that will be enough. Yeah. I plan to make the main temple the hanger for my starfighters, the side room with the balcony the power station area, Fountain/pond room the recreation room, the basement the Jedi Archives, the bridge the exploding Hutt ball game of death, the two smaller rooms will be a command center and barracks, and will have to see the rest on PTS to decide what to add. Already know that my two Massive Turrets and the large guardian statues will be placed around the stronghold.

LyraineAlei Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 I plan on it belonging to my Sage/Sorceror, so it'll have relics and archeological stuff for Talos to go through. And then a few training/meditation rooms. Mostly empty though, might style the entrance as a camping site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunafox Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 I'd have to see it better first, but I think I'll turn mine into a massive botanical garden...that seems to be what I like to do to most of my strongholds lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atken Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Had the same idea as OP. I think I'm gonna try to design based around the idea of Luke's Jedi Praxeum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koichi Posted June 8, 2015 Author Share Posted June 8, 2015 Had the same idea as OP. I think I'm gonna try to design based around the idea of Luke's Jedi Praxeum. I almost wish that there were decorations of crashed starfighters or something. Something to show it was a warzone before you took over the stronghold. Sith/Jedi Spirit NPCs would be good too. Holos might work, but I prefer the Force. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arunav Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 I'm glad some players like Yavin IV as the location, but I am disappointed BW didn't pick a more neutral location. Two that had been brought up a lot, and all assets were available for, were Rishi and Alderaan. Manaan would have been perfect, in my opinion, but probably would have required a lot more work, since the assets to make a proper Stronghold there probably weren't ready-to-go. In terms of classes, it really doesn't make sense for some, especially on the Republic side, but also Imperial, to have a Stronghold on Yavin IV.

Rankyn Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 I had always planned to decorate my Coruscant and DK strongholds with a Jedi and Sith look respectively. However, 1) a lack of enough decorations and 2) lack of decorating ability have hampered my efforts. Instead, I'll pack up my DK stronghold and make the Yavin one into a combination of Jedi and Sith temples. I think I can come up with enough stuff between the two styles to fill a single stronghold.

Maybe not for all, but I think the Inquisitor and Consulars would enjoy having a Yavin temple to explore and find lost bits of arcane knowledge and lore. Would be a great place to stash all of my Emperor statues from my Illum FE runs. Thought I agree, Yavin wasn't one of my personal favorite places for a new stronghold (Alderaan, Voss, Hoth, Illum, Makeb were my top five).

Mega_Fallos Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 I'm sure, the most of Yavin strongholds will be looking like a Ikea or some shops "all in" as now looking most strongholds (look "tor decorating") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you elaborate? Seriously, I'm not trolling, I just don't understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
