It would be most excellent if we could have Battle Droids, Super Battle Droids, droideksa, and IG-100 MagnaGuards.

In one of my quest i done today, i believe for the clone katarn armor, I saw an NPC with Super Battledroid guards..

Yes, the Clone Armor relic quest take to to a guy with a couple of Super Battle Droid bodyguards. And (I think) aboard the corvette is a few you have to face.

Battle Droids were part of the "Droid Invasion" publish. Super Battle Droids were in it, too.

The droidekas can been seen in the Geonosian caves and at several spots on Lok.

And the MagnaGuards are used as, guards, to the Necrosis (Grievous look-alike).

They are all in-game already, we just need to make a system which would allow players to use them but not upset the balance of the game. *cough* Droid Handler profession *cough*

You know, I'm just not thrilled about having a carbon copy of the Creature Handler profession. The only way I see bringing battle droids to light anytime soon would be to add it to the CH template. If you give CL31+ battle droids to anyone (even a quest reward), the CH's get royally screwed because they spent a whole elite profession to handle high-end pets.

I think it'd be a big boost to DEs if we simply had access to Droideka or Battle Droid chassis. Sure it'd be a CL30 Droideka, but it would look HELLA cool and it would sell just on that principal.

I know if they allow higher level droids to come into play, it would level mess up the balance with CHs. But, if they created a new system in which a droid was not a pet, but a droid, then I guess it could be balanced. I'm not very good with crunching numbers and such, but I'm sure there could be a way to give us our droidekas and MagnaGuards (I really want to have one of those! I can hear the buzz of their electrostaffs twirling in my head).

Side note: I used to be a big proponent of keeping the timeline pure...meaning battle droids were outlawed by the Emperor in our timeline here. Well, with jedi numbers increasing everyday and battle droid NPCs in huge numbers...screw it...give us battle droids and Droideka we can build!

QFE, BTW if outlawed why did katarn armor quest have some guards? and also Nym Has some old Droidekas.

Give us battle droids and droidekas!!!!!

I'm for the timeline as much as the next guy but when they added to RotW ships, that pretty much spelled out that they are going to add anything Star Wars they want.

Plus, I think it is a good idea to go ahead and create a new droid system. As we saw in Publish 21, most of the things our droids could do just went away. And while creating a new system (which wouldn't be a new feature) they could go ahead and work on the Droid Handler idea (which would be a new feature but they can work on it now while fixing bugs).

Right now I'm researching as much as I can on droids. I'm trying to find what could be the best a player could control. Naturally, I'm not going to ask if Droid Handlers could control some of the really powerful droids like those IG-227 Hailfire Droids or LM-432 Crab Droids.

Maybe Droid Handlers could be certified to use certain chips that would make the droid smarter in combat, hence allowing the CL of the droid to become higher. That would allow use to craft the droids who regular players at CL 30, but if the certain chip was added, it would bump the droid to a CL in which only a DRoid Handler could use.

Note: I say Droid Handler because one of the Rebel Pilot titles is already Droid Commander. Other names could be Droid Army Commander or Droid Leader.

Apparently the Emperor lacks follow-through on his edicts.

And as far as i remember there was never something about anti-droid laws in the movies...
