Its great that we can now have multiple crafting stations in one droid but there is a bigger version of this bug you have missed;
If you two droids with identical crafting stations (owned by two players) are within roughly 20m of each other, one or both droids' crafting modules break. This is WAY more of an annoying bug than multiple crafting stations. Especialy since multiple crafting stations will only make this bug WORSE
This is a bug not specific to DE, but somthing that for a few months after launch, plagued some public crafting stations as well, as they were not placed far enough apart, and 'interfered' with each other. It still happens now with private ones, especially if you have close block housing, or stations too close to each other within the same house. It's not ultra common, but it's out there.
Dosen't mean it's not an annoyance, jus mentioning it's not specific to us, just gets magnified when droids are together.

THIS is exactly the post we were looking for, TH. Thanks a lot.
It seems a promising beggining... looking forward for more details

I think that we would be better for the clarification on the subject of combat droids, it's currently rather ambiguous.
Is a combat droid:
A droid that is specifically designated as a combat droid, and thus able to accept combat modules in it general module spaces
Or
A droid that has had a combat module added to one of it's general module spaces
Also, will the artwork that has been done for combat droids be added in these publishes, or is it to be kept specifically for high level combat droids?

I still dont understand what the point of a Adv BLL is or even a plain BLL....
They are nowhere useful for the resources they consume during construction.

Well it surely sounds nice with the upcoming changes on droids (which was also needed! CH play way to big a role)
....but to really give the CH some compatition I want to see some more combat droids soon! 
I know SWG takes place after Episode ! & II but I would still like to see some of the droids from the new movies appear in SWG (artistic freedom).....it would be really cool to be able to control a Droideka or(Super)Battle Droid 
Even big droids like Hailfire Droid and spider droids from Episode IIshould be in....need something that gives some kind of alternative to big pets like Rancors
Non-battle droids are mostly covered with the upcoming changes/additions but hey we still need a pit droid to repair our vehicles

My most desired droid function would be commerce droids.
I'd like to be able to make my droid deliver goods from my factory to my crafting station at my house, my vendor or the bazaar.
Droids doing this job certainly wouldn't reduce my fun factor, nor would they be replacing some other economically valuable function.

All right! Now we're talking! I am so glad I stuck it out with DE, Man I need to get to work on grinding out some more resources for my future customers.
Thanks TH!

The ideas look good but personallyI will believe it when I see it. Until then there is no way I will take up DE again.

At first I thought this droid invasion would be cool. But now i think that combat droids should not be added to the game. Remember what it was like when there were pets everywhere? It was Poke'mon. It will be that way agian but with droids instead of animals. There aren't really supposed to be combat droids in this period anyway......I know they are gonna be put in and there's no stopping it,but they should at the very least be considered contraband,since they were illegal in this period.
