My buddy had a funny idea last night that sparked a proffession conversation that turned out rather interesting. This may have been discussed before, but not being a BE I may have missed it. Love to hear some feedback:

In the spirit of the new DE sub class Droid Handler, we said, "Hey wouldn't it be cool if BE's could clone humanoids and then have a sub class to control them as well?"

Now check this out:

A master BE can sample another player during PvP when the player is incapped only (the sampling would be the DB).

They can then take that sample back to the lab and make a "pet" of whatever the class was that they sampled. Kinda like a faction pet (stormtrooper, etc). Maybe even allow cross DNA to make hybred classes, whatever.

Now, the clone would be a standard male/ female of whatever race, basic "generic" look to it, but then you bring it to an Image Designer to complete the copy. Name it after the original player with a standard (clone) tag next to the name.

Clone Handlers could then control 3-4 at a time like a droid handler, heck make the standard clone a "novice version" of the player sampled, with "master versions" obtained at higher Clone Handler lvls.

Just a thought. Doesn't sound too far off considering most of this is already programmed ingame. Talk about "owning" someone in a duel...BE's would actually own you lol.

Make the clone have a perma TEF only with the original to give players a chance to erase their "copy"

It's a horrible concept that would be too hard to regulate and control. They would have to unlock the feature of us being able to sample beings of any sort which would include Boss Humanoids like the Nightsisters. Plus it just sounds stupid to have clones of players walking around when without the weapons and intelligence of the actual player it's just a really weak pet.

Personally since I heard of the Droid Handler I have pndered the same thing. I think that bio-engineers should be able to make humanoid clone pets (like factional pets). If the cloners of genosis can do it, so should we (man I've been spending to much timereading BH forum lol)

I'm not really sure how it would work but nontheless I think its a good Idea... I think I remeber seeing on the CH forum that CH's could 'tame' wookie or wookie like creatures (whether or not this is true I have no Idea).

Only logical thing that I can think of right off hand would be that Squad Leaders would get the rights to control these Humanoid 'pets'... however that could lead to some imbalacing since a Squad Leader could also master CH, allowing them to (assum master) could call a level 70 pet and a level 70 humanoid. Is this possible with the Droid handler proffesion?

Oh too many thoughs rushing into my head...

In conclusion I think its a good and viable thing to impliment in the game.

But if you could have an army of like 10 or 15 then it would be pretty cool. You couldhave fighters, harvesters, medics and dancers all under your control.

Well, it's been pointed out before to me that human cloning isn't supposed to be freely allowed at this time in the story line.... but, I don't think droid handlers were ever mentioned any where before and are a pretty weird idea story wise (not to mention that whole pesky little issue of jedis during this time peroid).

Anyway, I think this would be fun... and they could use much of the existing code for faction human pets. Of course, I'm all for giving us a little mini ch bonus too... so maybe I just want pets.
