Social instances of K13 and Dranur?

These locations would be great public social instances, throw an account bank on them and maybe a vendor and make them public social zones.

Also note I dont mean give us T5 holdings, dont put those vendors on the map. Just some nice social zones for people to enjoy. :)

    While I agree that they're pretty nice to look at it would be kinda pointless to make them public zones. We already have a buttload of empty social zones and two in the AQ which are near defera and DS9 don't seem to add anything significant.

    While it would be nice, there is no point. Everything can be done (almost) through a ui interface where you are at even if your a ten minute ride from a social zone. Need a bank, or a vendor? Summon a freighter, Lobi store? double click on the lobi crystal. There is even a chat command to open up the tailor, so you don't have to go to a social zone for that either. change star ships? There is a button on the ui for that too. The only true social zone that's left is zone chat. So why add more when they are adding everything in one to the UI?

    K-13 would be a good basis for a revamped K-7 (just rip out the consoles and replace them with modern ones. Leave the rest as is.)

    Except that K13 is just too small for a social zone.

    They are already social zones for Fleets. :confused:

    We need more to do in social zones first. It's the same logic that applies to ship bridges: there's little reason to be there. For social zones, the only reason to be in one is to use services.

    And as noted by others, we already have plenty of those. Maybe they could add mini-games. Snowball fights on Andoria for example, waterboard races at the new colony (or something else). That would give each different zone something unique and then I think it would make sense to add them.

    At least Dranuur and K-13 can be visited (if you are in a fleet). I'm still hoping that, one day, we'll see New Khitomer as a social zone. Right now you need to play an episode to get there.

    But also for that, we'd need something unique to do in each social zone.

    Anyone can visit Dranuur....it;s just that when most people visit they tend to be involved in a massive colony wide gunfight with endless waves of holo-NPC's!
