I was wondering if this has been said, or suggested. If so I apologize for repeating this.
Is there any plan on giving Bounty Hunters Probe and Seeker droids that they can keep in there data pad (pets) to use for the searching? I know droid engineers make good money on the disposable ones, I'm just suggesting that Master Bh's maybe get a certin module that could be use in their droids. Only for master Bh's.
Also,
I roleplay, my char is a male Twi'lek. I created him to be and play him as a mute. He can ONLY speak in Lekku. Now I'm posting this because, since Protocal Droids can be translaters (in SW atleast) is there any way to give protocal droids a Translation option? I'd like to think I could have one out with me to translate or, if someone had one, I could communicate that way? I'm not posting this because I am having a problem rping with my char, I'm not, just something to make this more Starwarsy.
Thanks for your time,
again I aplogize if this has been said before.

Sorry Protcal Droids like all droids fuctionality comes from the mods in them we have tried repeatedly to add simaler functionality to Droids or Droid Specific Bounoses however other issues we have had have taken priority. Second, Sence BH droids have a simaler function as the New Survey Droid it is more likly that Limited use droids will become more not less likly, and as there the ONLY Droids that go away there the only form of consitant income we have

and combat droids... they may not go away but they become useless for combat after a time. Detonation too.

Combat droids do not become useles over time. That is what the whole droid decay debate is about. If you are referring to vitality it is a poor substitute.

One of the BH droidsis still bugged allowing BH to get an infinite number of charges.

after a while of hard use the HAM drops considerably... while its still usable, anyone that wants to use it for combat will get a new one, at least, that has been my experience. I regularly have customers come back to replace their old combat droids.

You're not refering to droid HAM wounds, are you? 'Cause those can be repaired with reconstruction kits.

I refured to Survey Droids as the First reason that the Devs would have for Not Changing BH cause they have a Simaler Function and did when I said Only Source I was meaning ALL Limited Use Droids. I also consiter Exploding Toasters as Limited use(you can only use one at a time) And I did not know that Combate Droids become usless after a while or I would have included them. I learned something new... JOY!

well... vitality can be repaired too (though most people don't realize it), but like weapons each time you repair it the max vitality goes down, so it eventually decays to the point of worthlessness.

Do you realize how many times a Droid has to actually die before it becomes useless? It is a ton, almsot never happens.

He's referring to vitality, which cannot be repaired. A loss in vitality translates to a loss in maximum HAM values.
