Thread: Here is what I know.
I have not been privy to the final decision. Since they are going to post their vision I am going to post the main idea that has been discussed. Please note: This has only been a discussion and I do not know if this is the path they decided to go. They want to surprise me as well it seems. But I am pretty confident this is the way they will go ...
(CH+BE+DROID) - Organic Pets = New DE.
Anyhow ... thats the last thing I heard but things could change.
How much longer will they put us through this torture?!?!?! Just tell us what you are going to do to us already.lol
Ursula - Still an aspiring DE 
Aw, man, is that it? That stinks. I wanna make droids, man. Not CH aberations. Ugh! DAMM*T!!!!
DEVS PAY ATTENTION:
Probot 1500 HAM 100-1500 dmg (resists by armor type)
Droideka 2500 HAM 200-250 dmg (resists by armor type)
Droideka Adv 3700 HAM 270-350 dmg (resists by armor type)
END OF STORY.
ok, after reading it a few more than 3 times I think I have understand a bit more...
CH+BE+DROID - creatures = what we mightbe getting... (do you mean DE instead of DROID?)
anyway, I'm taking this as we get more slots in the datapad for droids (good), can make droids, and have some droids only we can "handle", possible we have a diff level adjustment so we can have more droids out than non DE's,the - creatures is just so it's understood these things are not alive
yes, I am likeing what I envision, but to be safe I won't speculate, so I won't be let down at all. Sounds like we have good things coming.
We will continue to be a crafting class, possibly with additional product now, possibly not, but with additional abilities akin to those that Creature Handlers and BioEngineers get?
What are the implications?
I'm not bioengineer OR creature handler, but I do know this:
Bioengineers make things to fix vitality problems, as well as creating interesting variants on known animal types. So droid repair stuff and more customized droids?
Creature Handlers get unique abilities to use more powerful animals than anyone else. New designs for combat and utility droids only we can use, and perhaps the ability to call multiples?
Any other thoughts?

Seems the Player Correspondent system is working just as SOE planned.
That statement, right there, is the one that might very well make me quit.
I asked (and was told) that we (the DE community) would be included when discussing our future and the plans for how things would progress. It sounds as if this is not the case. If it were, they'd be at least talking to YOU about it, Sintrosi.
I'll find the quote later where they stated that they would put all of this in front of us for discussion before any final decision was made.
I'm beginnning to fear that this big announcement will be just another case of the Devs not listening to us (like Holocron himself stated they needed to)....
