This idea/suggestion is Open. You can respond to ask questions or discuss the idea and either vote it up or down if you believe it should or should not be implemented, respectively. Popular suggestions and ideas will be considered by the development team to become reality in-game.
- Proposal
Allow a Creature Handler (CH) to re-egg their combat pets to allow the transfer to another character on their own account by implementing an item that a Master Bio-Engineer (BE) can make. A possibility could be an item that a Master BE creates using materials, similar to a regular pet, and takes a comparable amount of time to make the Re-egg item. That time could then be sold to someone who can use it on a combat pet to turn it back into a “No Trade Share” egg.
- Justification
This would allow a CH who incites and starts down the path of a Jedi to transfer their pets to another character on the same account. The pet would still need to be relevelled (combat and loyalty), and all skills would need to be acquired and learned.
In addition, a common point presented by the BE community is that allowing free transfers would undermine the BE economy. This option adds another area where BEs can make money by creating the Re-egg items. The item could cost ~5,000,000 credits.
For someone who wants to transfer their Reek, Rancor, and Acklay, this could cost ~15,000,000 credits.
- Motivation
When a character incites and becomes a Jedi, a 4th character slot is opened as an option to remake the build of the character that became a Jedi. CHs are one of the only professions that have a significant aspect of their profession locked into just one character and is non-transferable. Thus, not allowing the ability to transfer or continue the old character’s legacy. This means the potential loss of use of very rare creatures such as Blackwings or Mutated Aclays. In any other profession, items that are not bio-linked or no trade, such as armor, weapons, heroic jewelry (even the free set), droids, creature mounts, starships, starship parts, houses, etc., can be transferred from the old character to the new character on the same account and in some cases to other players. This would allow a player who has spent significant time and money acquiring their pets to continue using them on their other character(s), thereby allowing them to continue their CH legacy. Additionally, it would enable the BE community another opportunity to continue earning money from creating and providing the transfer item.
I have seen this topic brought up several times, and I am bringing it up again with a proposed solution to address one of the main issuies brought up.
Upvote
... I would love to keep my pets and give them to an Alt.
Down vote as this is the same dribble that has been brought up before , except this time this PV aims to introduce an consumable that would cost the same as buying the same pet
which if that is the case then why not just buy the same pet again ???
one of these every month every month

I understand pet transfer has been brought up before. This addresses the main argument that allowing free pet transfers would destroy the BE economy by introducing an item that still gives the BE community something to sell and allows a CH that has incited and wants to go Jedi to transfer their pet at a reduced price of uncommon or rare pets, as those tend to start at 6 million and go up. BEs still get money, and a player can transfer their uncommon/rare pets at a reduced rate to their alts.

Let's keep please comments that attack someone to yourself please. Instead of attacking maybe offer ideas like maybe a lower cost then proposed. ID can buy something to change a person race, maybe something of the same type a BE can only buy to revert it to egg.
Everytime one of these is brought up people just trash it and "say just buy a new one" "it will hurt the BE community" etc. Every class has the ability to transfer all if not most class items to another toon. But CH do not. They are told to suck it up. Seeing how something like this comes up "Every month" and these are player voices then it seems like lots of people want an option.
BE here, upvoted. At the very least for jedi. I also think this has potential to expand the BE economy even further since new jedi will be more likely to re-spin CH on their alts. They may only transfer their favorites at that price point and having CH alts always leaves the door open for new pet purchases. Currently, most just drop CH forever.
