Thread: I think we are under pricing ourselves...
first off yes the price will fall asap when enough idiots sell for undercut prices.
2nd it atkes definately alot work and resources to build droids in factory, u need tonns master artisan items, we cant mount them and they eat batteries faster then u a BigMac. 
and DE dont have anything like tissues to sell. so pls if u compare things compare the whole professions and u will see bio eng and DE are not unbalanced or destroy each other. most ppl will prefer creature pets anyways sadly, cuase lesser maintain aka batteries and repair kits. we cant heal wounds of pets with a piece of food or a trick
regards

You sure about that? I dont use a organic pet myself. I do keed hereing that you cant have out a droid and a pet at the same time now due to a unannounced change to CL 13 for combat capible droids.
As a side comment to this thread I've personaly never had a problem with my droids. (grated, I dont have the animal side of this frame) I usialy use my droid to pull and hold aggo while I'm plinking away with my little popgun, and healing it. My personaly best with this method is my probot taking out 3 ferrial banthas, all hitting it at the same time. (then the fourth came up and spluted me, but it was going good before that)

Pets don't need batteries either. 65K for a CL10 droid is insane especially since they can be cranked out in a factory. You can't ride a droid either.
Besides, if you others haveever been out with droids, you'll notice they draw aggro more than the pets and they get owned quickly. The non-ch pets survive longer, even when the combat droids seem to really have nice stats.
And yer definitely right about the price, lol, someones laughing all the way to the bank.

Just saw this posted from a droid engineer who's selling combat droidson the farstar trade forum:
HAM 1666
Attack speed 1.54
To hit 0.36
Damage 118-128
Armour 40% (max for a droid)
They are on sale for 65k each.
Interesting huh?
That droid is so pathetic it wouldn't last long in battle. My pet wookie can hit for 2000 points per hit with AoE. No pet, other than my wookie of course, does that. So damage is just not a factor when it comes to pets of any CL. As to HAM and resists, it wouldnt last long. Sure there are droid stims now, but who cares.
I can make food that gives a 4k HAM boost with a 12-14% kin and 3k health to start with CL10 BE pet is something that can tank. So droids are still useless and something that is useless doesn't sell for 65k unless it is a painting.

You dont use the droid repair kits do you? Look reality, pets are good, yes. Droids are good for people that have experiance in handeling pets from EQ. (send it in figt a bit, stop heal, contues fighting.) The system seems to be roughly balanced from what I'm hearing. I starte reading this thread thinking that I would see a fact that makes thing unballanced. I realy havnt if your not a CH.
And as far as someone "laughing all the way to the bank"? Thats kind of hard to do when people dont buy em. I, as a master DE have as yet to sell a droid with combat modules in it. Then theres the sheer amount of resoiuces that it takes to make one. (If you want a count I can get one for you) Then theres the amount of combines. Yes they can be done by factory. But thats alot of factorys to run at one time to get a cookie cutter droid. If some one wants some thing diffrent, thats alot to do by hand. (for a R3 adv full combat it took me roughly 30min to make by hand. I know someone is going to say "I can do it faster")
Even BHs seem to shying away from droids as much as they can. but still they are the only ones buying droid stuff consistantly. I would imagian that BEs have a little more steady of a trade, considering I see nothing but BE made pets running around with people.
I'm sorry if I sound bitter in this post but I think I'm working on that. I still do plan on doing BE with one of my charicters. Mainly because I storngly belive in looking at the other end of the complaint before raising to much noise.
