I would like to see only surgical droids(and the FX-7 if implimented)be able to have a 110 med kit put into them.


I'd also like to see the addition of a chassis for a droid similair to the FX-7 seen in ESB.<a href=\"http://www.thelogbook.com/toy/potj4/bacta1.jpg\">

Oh, man, that is one bad idea. I love my little MSE with storage and 110 rating. The surgical droid just reeks of buffing for cash and tell hell.


As for what I would like to see.


I would like to see a droid recharge while not in use. Let's face it batteries are just a pain. They do not make anyone any money but they are just one more thing that has to be carried around. I am not suggesting that you can pull the droid out and it never loose charge. If that were the case then people could use them as buff bots so that would not be a good idea. I am suggesting thatwhen you store you droid that it slowly recharge by it's self (say from 0-100% in 24 hrs).


I would like the ability to double click the droid that has been pulled and have it open the storage compartment or what ever property I progam the double click to perform.


I would like to be able to go to the data pad and click on the droid and see what is inside the droid without haveing to pull the droid out. I am not suggeting that we can take items out of it, just being able to see what is in side would be a huge help.


I would like to be able to turn off the "run away when hit" feature. It really gets frustrating when your droid takes off from you.


I would like my harvest droid to remember which creature was selected when I hit the /harvest command. Lets say there are 5 creatures to harvest. I would like to be able to select one, tell pet harvest, then move on the next one without having to wait until the droid has harvested.


I would like a droid that can hold up a sign. Kinda like naming the droid only here you can "name" the droid with something like "Marrow is now buffing for cash. 2.5k per stat for 3 hrs. Cost is 10k". I am not talking about a barker droid. I would just like this to be a static sign that does not go into spacial chats or anything like that.


Of couse I would love a storage only droid that could hold 100 items just as a data storage droid can hold.

I'd like it so you can put your droid datapad link into your action toolbar and call it from there instead of having to open the datapad.


once your droid is out double click would go to storage


droids customization shows up in datapad


higher storage compartment - up to 20


when people double click on your droid you can leave a standard message, like "10k for +2450 for 3hrs" etc etc in the examine box


batteries are dumb, but its a lot better now


... done.

New droid function for docs. Hmm...


Why has nobody suggested line management? Have the droid take tips (works like a vendor for the customer, pays from their cash onhand or bank, no fee) and goes direct to our bank. Then customers can look at droid and if they have tipped they see the line ahead without an annoying line they have to stand in and constantly move. On the doc end it gives us a "line" window with all the names, no scammers, and we can double click a name to auto-target the person, then have a remove button on the screen for when they are done.

The current stim-dispensing droids are pretty useless... who uses a stim A? It would be good if the stim values could be increased... perhaps if grouped with doctors the droids would have a modifier that dispensed higher level stims. For example when grouped with somebody with no medic, it would still only dispense stim-A level medicine... but ifa medic is grouped it would go up to a stim B, and up to the value of an E for a master doc in the group - making it actually useful in the field. Furthermore, doctors/medics in the group may get xp for stims used from the droid? Just ideas off the top of my head to make these redundant droids worth something


Other than that... perhaps schematic storage? Might upset other profs though

Say no to the chassis dealer. He may seem like a good guy but that greedy Bothan sonuvabitch will rob you of your pride and your dignity

I agree ......larger stim storage or buffpack storage.....say 100 items......med only....25+ toward med and wound....sign posting is acool idea too like that...also like the idea for it to record and recieve credit data so peeps can see and doc can see who paid and who did'nt.....bank tip or cash.....



- I support a rollback and keeping & balancing the old combat system.
...and making SWG a better place to be.

I like the line idea, my alt is a master droid engineer.....


as for the item storage +100 there is no way that is going to ever ever happen


we get 100 items in our bank, up to 250 for houses/pa's 110 for our inventory, the dev's won't be giving us any more room to store items (god knows we all want it) it just isnt logical


if we put 100 item storage in droids then everyone will buy them just for the 100 storage....... thats an extra 300 storage (not sure the max you can have on droids)



I payed 50 bucks for SWG but when I bought it I had no clue I was paying for the beta...

funny thing is I get charged 15 bucks a month and it's still in beta

pretty sure you can have as many droids as you want in your datapad as it can hold. i have like 5 droids just because i haven't deleted the old ones yet

Did you plan on loading all those stim's into the droid? Unfortunately ... you have to load them now as it is. I've had Stim A's in my droid for 3 months now and only two people have used it. Glad I only made one stim .. lol
