Heya, all...
I'm putting out the call for your top 5 personal DE/droid 'issues'.
These can be:
- bugs
- issues
- wishlist / feature changes or additions
- balance problems
- whatever
The important thing is...keep it brief, to the point and easier for me to document / track.
Example:
1. Feature change/add: Add ability to name Conversational droids (Surgical, LE, etc.)
2. Bug: Armor displays as 40% though the effective/real armor rating is 20% max.
3. Issue: ________________________
...and so on.
Please keep these in order of importance, 1 being the highest and 5 the lowest.
Thanks in advance...
/bow
Respectfully,

1) Bug Fix: Naming Talking Droids
2). Feature Addition: Combat droid chassis for home decoration(Droideka, SBD, roger roger)
3) Feature Enhancement: Make each chassis give a bonus for a certain module. Like the MSEgets for the detonation modules. ie LE Repair droid gets a bonus when using auto repair modules, surgical for stim module, maybe harvest or trap for the lower R-series or for the treadwell.
4). Bug Fix: Armor disply bug
5). Change combat rating to dmg, speed, and to hit

1. Droid Condition Decay
2. Droid Condition Decay
3. Droid Condition Decay
4. Droid Condition Decay
5. Droid Condition Decay
Frankly, everything else is pretty much moot until they implement this.

in no particular order since I don't feel like ranking them...
1. naming conversational droids
2. use for the data storage module
3. droid decay (and the need for it)
4. a rename command... droids aren't like creatures have have to be "tought", you tell it what its name is and it takes it
5. droid name filters... we need the ability to have numbers.

- bug fix: naming talking droids
- bug fix: armor display bug
- issue: displaying all relevant droid stats in the deed. not cryptic module ratings. for example, combat droids need to specify damage, attack speed, etc. in the deed. Instead of a confusing (for the customers) module rating that doesn't even mean the same thing from one droid to another.
- issue: organize our schematic list in the crafting tool. it's a pathological mess at this point.
- bug fix: structure maintenance modules. they are so broken its silly.

1) OLD BUGS : Storage in surgical, AND NAMING OF FRIGGING TALKING DROIDS
2) Utility Droid Decay (Combat decay is fine as it is - just make modules modular and require replacement occasionally, so the customer can keep their original droid they have become attached to; this is the number one request I get - "why can't I change modules after you make it?")
3) Combat Statistics need to be displayed ON THE DEED, not just "Combat Rating : 550", etc. This is VERY confusing for customers not only because most of them do not know what it means but because it means different things in different chassis; a 550 in a Probot has entirely different stats than a 550 in an R3. You don't expect people to buy a T21 or a set of Vibroknucklers without knowing the stats; our combat droids should be treated like the weapons they are. It is understandable the Devs went with this system while balancing it out, but now that the stats are locked it's time to change from the scale to the actual damage/speed stats.
4) Looted/quested schematics for DE only that provide some benefit over what we have now - NOT looted components. An example would be the Imperial Prototype PSG for Armorsmiths, NOT the Genosian Rifles for WS. Perhaps a schematic for item storage level 7 (12 items), or a cluster that holds 4 modules instead of the standard 3.
5) It is totally necessary for at least some droid module additions required to use droids in space - "any old" droid shouldn't be able to perform space functions. Even if it's just a couple of modules, a droid should require some specific outfitting to be space worthy.

[Edit: Changed suggestion from Item Storage 6 to "7" to illustrate the point]

1) Use for Datapad Modules - ie. Contraband Rebel Schems requiring droid datapad to smuggle successfully.
2) Fix Surgical Droid and Storage Module
3) Naming Talkies
