Droid Engineer Archive

I know there have been many people talking about vehicles...

I know that it SHOULD go in our broken proffesion...

People are pushing for it no to be and want it to be made into the Artisan tree...

WHAT IS THIS CRAP!

I am not a car builder. I'm a robotics engineer, thank you very much.

Sure, I can toss together a quality speeder in my garage, but that's not my primary interest.

Looking at the development web page it looks like no ones going to get to make them - everyone will have to buy them (so much for the player economy)

Typical, give the CHs mounts to make money off, and screw DE on Vehicles.

Well of course that's what is going to happen with vehicles...didn't you know that?(insert sarcasm here )

Let's face it...we are so broken and useless at this point that if enough of the other players griped about it enough to the devs, our profession...along with BE, Chef and Pikeman would become NPC-only professions. I can see it now: Anyone need an autochef unit or an R4 chassis to decorate their house? Then check the NPC vendors in town!

I saw a post a few days ago, someone was asking if the rumor was true that vehicles would be in the engineering branch of artisan. TH responded with "*coughyepcough*".

So, vehicles will be under artisan, not DE. I am grateful because it still leaves the possibility of a future Vehicle Engineering elite profession. And it still means that we DEs can make them. It's just that so can all the other artisan classes.

I would gladly be labelled a "car builder" if it meant we could provide an alternative means of transportation to all the creature pets the "chicken farmers" are churning out.

How about this...

Give vehicle building to Master artisan but require them to need parts from Droid engineers. *shrug* just a thought.

Vehicles need to be in an elite class, as a match to mounts, which are in an elite class. I can think of no other elite class better qualified than a Droid Engineer to craft vehicles.

If they put vehicles in the Artisan engineering tree, they should be less sophisticated than a Nemoidian Bird Cage.

The first basic vehicles (3 or so) will be in the Engineering/Master Artisan boxes. From what JustG has said, there will eventually be a Mechanic-type profession that will build more complicated vehicles. My guess is it will come with the Space Expansion.

We are DROID Engineeres. Why should veichles go to us. Shure we have the most knoledge of building machines, but we build droids not veichles. GET THAT THROUGH YOUR HEAD!

That would be like saying that all guns, armor, harvesters, clothes, food, etc, needs to go into their prospective end professions. Just have to remember these are basic vehicles here. Mounts, well there is NO crafting necessary whatsoever. Just tame and train. With this inate simplicity, it should go way up in a skill tree.

Actually we dont build droids we build fancy furniture, get that thru your head. Every droid i am able to make is either furniture or a medical center on wheels. Everything else is broken.
