Educated idea's on how to manage huge heightmaps are welcome.
There is something that I had always wondered about and I know that you are in the development stage of this process, and this would be the time to consider this I think. Rangers used to be able to place tents of varying sizes and shapes, and those tents would adjust the heightmap and level the ground no matter where it was placed. Could this general idea be applied to the City Halls of cities? That way there is no real concern about terrain for city construction, because every city will get a nice flat surface to build on. The "Flattened" land could also be the diameter of the limits of the city size, and grow as the city size increases.

This is a bit off-topic....but do you mean the entire city radius flat?

Personally I liked having to go out and find a decent spot for a large city. But I would like the land immediately around each building to build up flat like a camp, just not the entire city radius.

This should probably be discussed in the Future Server Ideas forum

well done guys! brings back some good memories....even just hearing the sounds and the clicks reminds me of the joy I got from crafting...

the crafting system is what really set SWG apart from the other games out there...thank you for doing it justice!

Keep up the good work!

excellent, however i did notice one thing and i'm not sure if it's there and just hasn't been implemented yet, when you gain ranks in a artisan class you don't neccicarily get the schematics transfered to your data pad... not sure if it just hasn't been handled yet or what?
