Thread: So data modules will finally have a use...
That little point makes the statement "it must have a datapad" pretty meaningless and useless to us as a piece of information. None of us can know for certain what "has a datapad" actually means. We can only speculate, unfortunately.

you are right about that. I still wouldn't assume that this is what the developer was referring to. It may have been, but it may not have been. Like TK said, we were told to stock up on probot's prior to one of the droid publishes. They forgot to mention that what the really meant was probot chassisrather thanprobots. Big difference.
For all we know there is a new shipwright craftable component coming called "starship interface datapad" or something that when placed in a droid gives it the ability to accept commands from a pilot, and this is what the developer was talking about when he said "datapad".
There is no way for us to know.
What made me assume it was the data storage module was the fact that the dev mentioned any droids you had now with a datapad could be used... and data storage is the only datapad you could have right now.

I understand, but it doesn't read to me like he was necessarily saying that existing droids with datapads can be used because they have datapads, but maybe I missed something.
another possibility, if we was saying existing droids can be used, is that all droids will automatically gain the ability to have a pilot "bind" their datapad with the droid, and that he didn't really mean "the droid needs to have a datapad", but instead meant "the pilot has to bind his pilot skills to a droid which will then give the droid a new "pilot command menu" that is accessiblefrom the pilot's datapad". /shrug.

"deception" is a poor choice of words. No one who knows what is going on in JTL beta is deceiving you, they are making it abundantly clear that they are bound by legal agreement to remain silent on anything they see or do in the beta test, until it is disclosed publicly by SOE itself. Everything a beta tester "knows" is subject to change, and if you were told how things stand now, and they varied significantly upon release, how would you feel then? Deceived? Really, we should be getting excited about JTL, but realize the beta agreement is best for everyone, since it lets the Devs and Testers make a better game with a clear field.
Well, maybe deception was the wrong word. It's just the feeling of, " Haha, i know a secret, and i'm not gonna tell you...nanananananana.." Maybe this anger just stems from the fact that i didn't get accepted into the JTLS Beta. I understand completely the need, and reason for an NDA to keep the info at bay. The wrong info gets out, people believe it to be truth, game ships, and nothing is what you thought. Game gets hated, people uprise...bleah bleah bleah.
I am excited about the expansion though. I mean, this is StarWars. Have we yet had a war amongst the stars?
I know what you mean. Most of the people don't bother me, its the ones (mostly on the Tarquinas board) that sit there and complain about the bugs.... BETA test is not just their private game preview, its supposed to be buggy, if it weren't they wouldn't need to invite anyone now would they.... I swear, the one time I've been randomly picked for anything, I had to be present to win (which I wasn't since I never win random drawings).

A slight correction.

I am simply warning that taking extraordinary measures like that based on such a small and vague piece of information is probably not a good idea.

( In a Han Solo Voice ) Bring em on, I prefer a straight fight to all this sneaking around...
All this i can't talk about it crap that's going on has me in two different states of feeling
1. I am getting excited, and can't wait until the expansion arrives.
2. I am getting angry with all the deception going on, and i just wanna kidnap someone who knows, and torture them until they tell.
/sigh
