| Well while I'm working on the Galactic HoloNet I want to get player opinions. Back on USW it was rather clunky and hard to navigate, being odd and, well, weird. I hope to make this new HoloNet simpler. - Spoiler:

- My ideas;
Galactic Market A market, in the "Independent Traders' Infonet". Contains common items sold for their base value, items received instantly as they have 'vendor' machines all over the galaxy. This is for gameplay reasons, but it can be sort of justified lore-wise.
Galactic HoloNet News Network For posting news on galactic events, and it will help new players catch up. Imagine it as an ingame "on the previous episode of ID....".
Assignment Bulletin Missions posted by various characters in the galaxy, usually apart of factions. Whether it's the Empire, the Republic, Czerka Corp., or even a wealthy noble. These should always be mini-adventures.
Bounty List A list of bounties from all over the galaxy. On USW this was used infrequently, I think it had to do with the bounty amounts being rather small. People would always jump on them when they reached the tens of thousands, or the hundreds of thousands. There was even a thread where two players fought each other, rather than their bounty. I think it has good promise, but we need to make it worthwhile. Perhaps turn each one into a mini-adventure so it's the journey, not the destination.
Specialist Stores Well, you're not going to find starfighters in the Galactic Market Vendors, too big to fit in a stall. Basically shipyard planets have their own stores, selling their ships. These would be the only places where one could attain anything larger than a corvette, with authorization. You don't see random civvies running around in destroyers. Maybe have a mini-adventure (Not the bounties unless it's a HUGE one) where the reward is a "Marque from the Emperor" or some sort for the privilege to purchase military-class ships for great service to the empire? For gameplay reasons there should be "Used Starships!" lots on each planet, cheaper but with their quirks of being used. Maybe even a mini-adventure finding a smuggler's forgotten stash and being chased by narcotic warlords?
Special Faction Areas Self-Explanatory.
Since this is all going to be in one forum, to make it easier to discern between topics I think suffixes like [store] should be used, colouring the title could help as well. Or using the Description of a thread under the title? I think what'll happen is a mixture of using suffixes like [store] and description use. [Comms] Random Subject Person 1-Person 2-Person 3 Sorta like this. | |

| So I did some work on the Bounty Hunters' Guild. This is for a game-wide bounty hunting system, it'll be a faction of sorts players can partake in. It's a newly made (since it disbanded after the Bounty Hunter Wars) and reformed guild, which makes it markedly different in temperament and attitude. | |

| Also the Bulletin Board is a sort of intergalactic board, not bound by law since it's 'servers' are hosted in unknown space. | |
