I am not a DE. I am a smuggler. And whileI agree that you should get alot of loven, but please leave the slicing to us. If a droid needs sliced let us slice it using the same tools we have now pluss a DUK (droid upgrade kit) crafted by DE/DC like weapons and armor work. I am in full support of everything else. Just if anything in this game needs slicing remember let us smugglers slice it. We dont ask to craft droids so please dont ask to slice them.







That's cool with me, I do think that DC's should make the DUK not DE's. Afterall DE's are engineers and for the most part a non-combat law abiding profession - it would make more sense for DC's to have the skills and knowledge to make such a tool. Also there could be a system installed that would require a droid to be "modified" by a DC before a Smuggler could slice it. No the modification would not add any abilities or stats to the droid - it would just make it possible to be sliced - something Smugglers can not do to droids now. Thanks for the input Rogue, I'm sure the majority of your profession agrees with you and the more i think about you guys are right. I was just brainstorming when i came up with this and was basing it off several existing professions.


Thanks guys - and let's keep the comments flowing!!!

Wow, revenge of the 1 star bandits - hey if you don't like this I don't mind - but please take the time to say why. That we can all come up with something that everyone likes.

I would personally prefer a two tree droid commander profession, with mastery of a single DE branch being a pre-requisite. But this is a good post too, and if the devs want us to use more skill points to master droid commander, this would be a good implementation. =)


Game, don't let the one-star bandit get to ya man . . . it's like the Emporer working on Luke's feelings for his rebel friends. If you get fired up, the Emporer (aka One star bandit) would have won. If he/she gets a kick out of humping our posts, let 'em. =P

Yeah, i was trying to balance the power of handling lots of combat droids with a significant SP investment to keep "balance" in the game. Although from what i've managed to piece together from the grapevine it will be a very, very loooonnngg time before we see a 4 tree DC prof, and the dev's say a 2 tree is highly unlikely due to game mechanic and balance issues. Ideally, I agree a 2 tree would be the best as it would boost sales for us a lot. Oh well, we can always hope.


BTW, 1 star bandit - here's another post for you to hit
