As a DE I had an idea for a new droid and am trying to push it from my end, maybe you guys could push some too. Well assuming you like the idea.
Scouts have a droid that throws traps, whycan't Commandos have a droid that throws grenades?
I know grenades are not that awesome, but if you could be fighting something while your Droid was doing Artillery support, that could be usefull.

Hey Garvin, add this one to the bag of goodies you are taking for the devs. Hell, lets get everything we can think of in your bag before you go play "find the commando" with them.

As long as the droid or its owner doesn't take damage from the grenades, I am for it.
Would it use accuracy and range from the owner's skill mods, or would it be module based with a Certification?

I've brought this up to the Devs before and it's met with a so-so response...
My proposal included giving us basically a Trap Droid that instead of throwing Traps, throws Grenades...But when compared to the idea of Re-Loadable Rocket Launcers, the Mortar Droid doesn't look at good in their eyes I think (since the launcher would would somewhat similar if they actually make it for us)...
I'll keep pushing...Although I'm still holding out hope we get cert'd for Bomb Droids eventually...

I don't see why this shoudl actually interfere with either of those. It's not like Grenades are all that overpowered, and you guys do pay a helluva a lot of skill credits. Cert it at Master Commando so you don't get dabblers.
