Anyhoo,
I saw something on the DE forums that caught my eye a few days ago but i forgot about it till now.
It was a really good idea imo.
What if DE's could make a Grenade throwing module for adv chassis units...a Commando could load them with what ever Grenades they like and the bot can throw the grenades for us?
This would be similar to the ones they can do now for scouts. The scouts can load up the Bot with traps and the BOT throws the traps for them while they are fighting.
I wonder how feasible this would be, and if you think its a good idea lend your support...and if you think its a good idea Garvin perhaps you could bring up something like this at the Correspondent Summit thats coming. It would gives us a bit more versatility back which the weapon switch delay has hurt us with.

I saw that post and have been considering it's ramifications...kinda sitting back seeing how response goes on it...
FYI...I have been pushing a revamp of our Rocket Launcher (merging all of our Consumable Launcher Weapons) into something very similar for a while now...basing it on the Trap Droid design and implementation...
The proposal I submitted to TH about a month back met with very favorable reviews from the Devs...so who knows where itwill go from here...

I think something about the Proton grenades we have now would be better if they REALLY exploded. I think since we have to be Master to be able to use them, they should shake buildings and almost "nuke" like back in the old days. They're little more than a frag grenade with better damage it seems.

Leebo was Dash Rendar's sidekick and personal assistant LE droid. He would sometimes get involved in combat as well, so I could see a droid like that throwing grenades in a supporting way.

HECK NO! My proton grenades cost enough money as it is! buy your own!
kidding.
Eh..its got some merit, but really i'd rather be able to throw my own grenades and have some accuracy to them.

It's an interesting idea, though I think that'd bea betterside feature thing for commando companion bots (kinda like Leebo) rather than being the sole focus for a droid.
