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.

i think it's difficult to consider this if the only justification is loss related to Jedi (a very big gain), and how many other things will then come up that people "lose" because of going to Jedi that they want to be compensated for/exchange (e.g., PAAS rewards)

I think I understand where you're coming from, but CH's will also experience the same loss of these items as every other player. Pets are exclusive to CH's and thus CH's are the only one's that feel this pain of having pets become useless if they ever switch from CH period, whether Jedi or another class, while also still feeling the same pains as every other player.

Once you have a pet, especially if you've put a ton of time getting the resources to create/purchase a mutated pet, you're completely locked into that class, or; by leaving said class, will lose all that time/effort. I struggle to think of another class that has this limitation beside Jedi, which literally prevents you from not being Jedi after you select it.

Finally, most people incite on their most played character. The difference for CH's is that your most played character is often the CH, meaning we have to, at minimum, incite on two toons, as inciting on the CH is basically a non-starter at the moment for many of us who have spent the time/resources since the beginning of the server.

I say all this as a proud Jedi/CH, but it simply seems like CH are being targeted with extra penalties simply for being CH.
