Wrong. Most Ranger's would rather be fixed or given what the dev's promised 8 months ago rather than have a droid take away from this already incomplete profession can do. Preliminary results indicate that the droid can harvest more than the player who has the /harvest ability can.
The "Ranger Purge" has begun.
Care to offer link? The two reports here from a Ranger/Scout and a Entry Lvl Scout suggest otherwise. Not saying you are wrong, just would like to see.
Ok, I went to the ranger forum and saw the post by your correspondent. If you ask me, it seems the higher your skillset the more hides your droid would get, while you kill the monsters. I dont see how this is a loosing situation for a Ranger?
Sorta like a musical module enhancing the entertainers abilities.
I am trying to see the problem here, but dont yet see it. The droid is there enhancing the abilities a Ranger already has, not giving the ability to someone who doesnt have it. As a matter of fact we have one scout report that the droid was NOT able to harvest more than him. So, it seems it is set fairly nice, if you are a Ranger, the droids enhances your ability and collects more than you. If you are a lowly scout the droid collects, but less than you.
I dont see a problem, but I could be wrong. Or, I may have misread the posts.

Added Creature Harvester Module to the DE skill tree: This module will allow any character to program and control an equipped droid to advance on the look-at target of the player and harvest the resources on the creature. The player can preset the droid to harvest one of the three types: meat, hide or bone. Or the player can just let the droid pick a random resource type.
Is this useable by any Profession? Say, a Jedi who has no Scouting skills? Can they now harvest with the Droid Module?

This is a Scout module (only).

Respectfully,
Curious about something ... why would someone with scout abilities, buy a droid to do something they can do on their own? I was thinking "Cool, I can harvest again...with a droid" ... (since I have no scout) ...

Is there anyway to get a mini-guide when they give us new droids and stuff? It would make what they can do and how to use them much easier and would eleminate half of the thread questions.
Might bea bit till I have all the info gathered but I'm staying on this one, since I know all of you are rabid about getting details right now.

Respectfully,
Nice to see some positve postage
Good work, lets get those details. Thanks everyone who is putting in the testing.
i've posted this before but i figure now that this thread is getting Dev Attention i'll throw it out again.
"Tailor Module:
By adding this module a tailor see's an additional option on the radial menu of the droid. This option will open a window and allow the tailor to choose an item to display to the client, the number of items could depend upon the quality of the module directly effected by the experimentation used. The display would be at the default height of an item when you drop it in a house. The display would be transparent and have a blue tint to it so as to show the 'holo' effect that has been seen in movies, there would be color selectable however it would be difficult to view due to the ammount of blue from the image. While giving the DE's something to craft and make droids more requested it will also give tailors a tool with to display items before crafting. The ultimate goal however is to futher the immersion into the starwars universe, after all what is StarWars with out your holo projectors?"
