trophies

[ralok]

in star wars galaxies i ran a small treasure hunting guild we had a museum on tatooine east of mos eisley on the eclipse server.
when we collected a rare item we would showcase it in one of several rooms each room was dedicated to a specific subject
my question is will such things be possible in this game. trophies hanging on the wall from missions or even converting a ship into a floating museum

on a similar topic zoological specimens will they be available on ships (dogs, cats, lionfish, tribble)
and if tribbles can be on ships can they cause horrible problems if not contained properly

Id like to take a batleth from the first klingon I kill:D

Or the garment of the first Orion Girl you meet....

I played on eclipse as well but i dont think i got to see your museum.
As for trophy and memorabilia,seems like they could give these to the players in many ways.I'd like to have a fish tank in my ready room,is that too much to ask?:p

I have long argued that one of the best rewards they could come up with for missions would not be about a "monetary" reward, but a "keep-sake" kind of system so we can have mementos from our travels.

This does not mean there is no need for "material" rewards as well, but that's another discussion topic.

a little bit of money from missions is always nice
but a physical object that says i did something is really satisfying

in my museum (lasted four week . . . was really looking forward to relic hunting on mustafar i dont need to tell anybody who played the game what happened then) i had a large amount of objects my favorite was the misc room. i had a peice of the death star broken lightsaber old paintings wookiee crafted chair (that i could sit on) and in the lobby i had the head of bests i had slain (actually i had to kill about 40 of each)


what i would like to see happen is me and my crew beam down to a planet. small colony being terrorized by a monster. kick the monsters butt then get its head and put it in my read room.
maybe an android prototype only given to one player at the beginning of the game. and the only way to get it is to board that persons ship and steal it. (make an never ending cycle)
alot of cool things can be done.
i am hopeing to set up a wall of phazers showcasing antiques i found on several worlds that people from teh series died on.

or maybe an old red shirt found an obscure planet.

the universe that is being created here has alot of potential for treasure hunting

It would be nice. I know Picard had quite a colelction os stuffs from his adventures. Of course he was also an archeologist so could better apreciate some of the stuff he gathered and would be more likely to display it. Hopefully we will have stuff like this avaialble as well a a medals case.

Definately, there has been talk about this sort of thing in the past, I love the idea.

I really hope we can decorate our quarters and/or ready rooms with artifacts or items from missions. There is so much potential there. Along those lines I also think it would be cool if you got a miniature model of each ship you commanded, and could also dispay those in your quarters/ready room.

Only the first? I want to have a wall dedicated to them.

[Aslan_chShran]

Yeah, we played SWG too and had a large museum in Dark City.

[ralok]

dark city not familiar sorry

[Trekkie]

I really hope that "trophies" and other items that have personal meaning are implemented in the game, because personally I think that they mean more than experience points and the like. Hopefully the developers get a chance to look at this thread and consider implementing some sort of tangible reward system, if they haven't already!

No it's not to much to ask after all Picard had one that housed his lion fish til the D was destroyed in Generations. The captains each decorated their space to suit them and it should be no different for us.

The fact is that the members of the crews decorated their personal areas with memorobilia from missions as well as home , we should be permited to do the same.

BTW I still play SWG from time to time. my Mustafar bunker currently holds 900 items and it is mainly stuff I have collected over the past 5 years. With the addition of the Hoth battle I now have more stuff to collect.

[ralok]

i was actually in the process of transferring the guilds museum into the mustafar bunker. we voted on moving the musuem to it because it was a unique building.

i was in the middle of moving the animals varactyl, bolotaur, kashyykian bantha and the lava flea (all animals at the time were hard to get cant imagine it being the same now) thats when i received the bad news

i only when back to see what the game was like once.
i was not happy with what i saw.
