Thread: Vote: add 'Droid Handler' to the CH tree
haha how about adding comandop while at it. umm and medic line. wait lets craft them also so tose in some that stuff.
sorry but this is nuts. doids are metal. Critters are flesh. One is programed, one is voice trained. guess you can figure that I think this idea is a case of "I want it all" bull.

Fellow Creature Handlersplease offer feedback, is this acceptable to you or not? Acceptable with changes or not at all?
Add "Droid Handling" skills to the current Creature Handler tree.
It's these types of outlandish ideas that keep throwing the devs off-course for CH. A droid tree for CH? lol That's just plain ridiculous. Let me point out something very obvious...
It takes skills to make a droid (i.e. droid engineer). Once trained a droid obeys commands blindly. It could care less if you're Joe Artisan or Beef TKM. It will obey. Why in the hell would you need a separate tree to command a droid? This idea blows chunks. I vote no.
I meant it's stupid to think that you need skills to command a droid.
If Droid handling *must* be linked to a skill, then it should be a new one.
Also, the cost of good fighting droids should be very high, make that very very high.
Want to make mounts mean something. Make cat's mountable. A little msp, was as fast as an x34.

I've actually been suggesting this myself.
Drop "Creature Handler" as our title and call it something like "Manager" (someone can probably come up with a better title than that =o)).
Sort of like a Squad Leader for non-player MOB's....
lol, only one supporter of this idea in the whole DE / CH community ... people want freebie uber droids for just being a combat class, but its not going to happen.
It makes perfect sense to me, to revamp and get rid of Creature Handler and replace it with a more generic term for pet handling. Droids are pets, so are creatures. Droids are going to have to follow the same basic rules as creatures. ie. skill point cost to control, CL progression, special abilities and commands, etc etc etc
Also, I'm not suggesting to make CH uber again. Adding droid handler to creature handler doesn't make CH any more uber. The Handler would have to choose between 70 levels of creature, 70 levels of droid, or any combo of the two.
