Was wondering if there is any hope for a Droid Engineer to become more combatant like that of a Creature Handler.

Use of multple droids at once.....Special attack commands....ect.

Mind you, I haven't really played much in 2 years so I'm not sure what DEs can currently do. I've just noticed that some of my droids have "specials:" listed but no specials actually listed..

Been my dream to be Master Bounty Hunter/Master Droid Engineer for roleplaying purposes mainly.

Additionally, it'd be enjoyable to be able to take on Jedi when I want with a crazy template like this and still have the ability to relax and craft droids while up in space in my Nova =)

Very doubtful, as that has been in the past opposite of the destination most DE's would like to see the profession heading towards. The core of the debate is that one profession can't have the best of both worlds, so either we're a full crafting profession, or a gimped crafting/gimped combat profession (and so far the majority of DE's have favored being a full crafting profession).

Interesting call, telling the DE correspondent that he has overlooked one of your ideas that (to my knowledge) you have never posted before. And an idea that had zero relevance to his previous post at that. Jenden was referring to the fact that most DEs out there would rather have our crafting abilities and finished products improved rather than having our profession transformed into some manner of half-crafter / half-combatant. As correspondent its his job to keep aware of what the DE community wants, pretty sure he's an authority on what DEs are looking for in the way of changes.

DE is a crafting class. We are not fighters. CH get additional pets because they are a pet handling class (the only pet-handling class). Requesting Droid Engineers be granted multiple called droids is equivalent to asking to give Weaponsmiths dual-wield. The fact that we make droids has nothing to do with the ability to call droids.

1. Then you should spit the forums because I have (and I know several others have to) brought this *IDEA* up times before.

2. Drashk is the current DE correspondant, not Jenden. Jenden did a great job while he was tho, and for that /salute.

And last but not least, I saw Jenden's post as a reasoning why something would not be viable and I proposed/countered the ideas.

Dude, I'm done responding to anything you ever post... you can't get the simplest of things right. Jenden is the DE Correspondent, Drashk is the TC correspondent. Unless this has changed in the past several hours and their titles and forum information have not updated yet, there really is no reason to get this wrong. Wait, wait... I know, you were under the impression that Drashk was the DE correspondant, so its ok that you werewrong. Grow a clue.

When I wrote it, Jenden showed on the webpage as a BLUE GLOWIE (if you know what that means).

Hence me deduction. I just checked and he now has the corresp logo in front.

And yes, please refreain from further commenting on my posts if you cannot do anything else but flame.

Buh-bye!

I won't miss it.

Temporary Forum bugs, gotta hate that.

Idahe, you should know better than posting corrections to people's posts people dont like to be told they are wrong, repeatedly.

Back to the issue at hand. It would be nice for droids to have expanded capabilities, in combat and otherwise, but giving these abilities to Droid Engineers alone would be a great loss. Instead, it would be more beneficial for everyone involved for the multiple combat classes to have 'droid certifications' allowing them to use specific droid combat modules (with special attacks) and up to a certain CL of droid (this would be assuming that they raised the maximum possible combat level a droid can have.) Give the ability to call multiple droids to professions where the ability would be appropriate (Squad Leader, Commando perhaps...). Doing this would increase the variety of products DEs can make, as well as add a whole new element to each classes gameplay. While most professions would still be limited to one droid at a time, the special attacks would give that one droid far greater upside than is currently found.

I love it when people can't admit they're wrong.
