Thread: DE/battlebots and the game
ok how about this then maybe just have the first 2 teir levels available to basic professions scout, marksman, entertainer, medic, and artisan and the next 3 available to the elite and hybrid professions by the time you get to this point you have basically decided what your character is going to be and you dont want to limit your customers to just fighters.
something like this maybe:
novice scout with1-50 skill points spent = cert 1 quailified
novice scout with 1 tier group ( example all 4 exploration ) and 51-100 skill points spent = cert 2 qualifed
novice squadleader with 101-150 skill points spent = cert 3 qualified
novice squadleader with 1/2 tier group ( example mobility 1 & 2) and 150-200 skill points spent = cert 4 qualified
novice squadleader with 1 tier group( mobility 1-4 )and 201 -250 skll points spent = cert 5 qualified
maybe something like that will cut the newbies out of having the powerful ones rember all this just a example.
certifactions:
Now i mentioned DE selling the certs maybe this wasnt a good idea i dont know i was thinking on the line of them being like skills you go to the DE and get trained and the DE could charge for the training it cost you nothing to build just a (tax, kickback, money sink what ever you want to call it charged to the DE by the system to make the devs happy) this could be then charged to the player to compensate your loss.Now if they can charge 5% when you do a bank tip then this should be able to be done too. This would help some not much but some from people coming in buying your stuff then selling them for higher on the market basically if you want a droid you are going to have to see a DE at one point or another. Might be a incoveinece to some players but im sure if they want it bad enough they will find away.
If it is a bad idea then a NPC cert trainer could always be installed into the game im sure easlily.
The final thing is im not a Droid engineer im not sure if this could work or not im just throwing theories out that might can build other ideas and with the 4 ideas im working off of it might make the devs work faster on it.
1. Something that the players want = battlebots
2. Something that the class needs = a viable selling item
3. Something the devs want = cert system
4. Something the devs need = a money sink
