Please, anything but droids from E1, E2, or E3. Or anything from those movies in SWG. There's enough "classic star wars" stuff to fill this game.

ok no E1, E2, or E3 droids in game. remove R2's, 3PO, Battle Droids, Super BD, Droidicars, BLL's, etc. You forget that C-3PO and R2-D2 are in all the starwars movies. Also why are you so against the prequal droids?

The only Droids we dont have in game are pit droids, R1 droids, the female 3PO droid, FLO, and a few cameo droids in background.

I say, if they put the ARC-170 and the Jedi Starfighter in-game, we should be able to build any droid, even if it is from Episode 1, 2, or 3.

Giving the droids an "inherent chassis bonuses" would really make most any droid in the Star Wars universe able to be put in-game.

Pit Droids - Able to repair broken items, more specifically, vehicles
R1 - Automatic Astromech Certification of 1
R5 - Automatic Astromech Certification of 2
R4 - Automatic Astromech Certification of 3
R2 - Automatic Astromech Certification of 4
R3 - Automatic Astromech Certification of 5

RA-7 - Used as spies by the Empire, these droids could be placed in large NPC cities and used by Bounty Hunters to see if their target has recently been in the city. Cost per droid would vary depending on the time of day, bounty on the target and which city it was in.

BD-300 Luxury Droid a.k.a. "BettyBot" - This droid could very well help people who cannot do certain tasks. Acting as a pilot, to those who don't have a ship with a hyperdroid could travel. They could also repair damaged clothing and take care of certain creature's offspring. And also acting as a low CL covert bodyguard to those who need one.

Continued on next post.

Continued from post above:

Asp droid , PK droid and Binary Load Lifters - These droids would be given an added bonus the the ammount of things it could hold in storage. The PK droid would hold more items than regular droid, the Asp droid would hold more than the PK droid and the BLL would hold more than the both th Asp and PK.
FX "Fixit" - Acting similar to a surgical droid, this droid would be more powerful than a gurgical droid for it would most likely remain stationary during medical proceedures, whereas the surgical droid would be able to move faster to aid those in combat.
Surgical droid - Used mostly in aided doctors, this droid would be very useless as a mechanical medic in the battlefield, healing those in it's group who are low on health. Although useful as a medic, it wouldn't be as powerful as the FX droid but it would move faster.
RIC "Taxi droids" - Could be placed in NPC cities, mainly in front of starports and shuttle ports, for travels without other means of transportation to travel with the city limits to various locations i.e. Theed Palace or Mos Eisley Cantina.
WA waitress droid - WA series could used around the galaxy as a servent in tavorns and cantinas. In NPC cities along with player cities, these droids could be mobile vendors selling (most lokely) food and drink stuffs. By a customer sayin a simple command, the droid will leave it's post to attend to them, offering whatever it may be carrying.
LE Repair Droids - Would be able to repair components inside POB and possibly capital ships without the need of a medic on standby.
Protocol droids - Protocol droids would work in the same fashion as "Betty Droids" except for being able to do them faster and better because of the higher brain functions inside of them.
Combat droids - Combat droids, with the exception of well equipped Protocol, "Betty Droids" and assain droids, would be the only droid to be able to fight. I would go into detail but that is for another post.

Combat droids:

ASN "Assian Droid" - Used in the same manner as seekers, these droids would search for a target's location. But, these would not only find the target and reveal it's location, but follow the target for a certain period of time. If the Bounty Hunter reaches the target before the timer runs out on the droid, the Hunter could use the droid as an aid in defeating the target. The max CL would be CL 30 like other normal droids would be. Need to be a have trained in Investegation II to use.

IG-90 - Similar is design to IG-88, the (suggested) IG-90 series never went crazy like IG-88. Able to work in the same manner as ASN droids, IG-90 would be able to track the target for a longer period of time and fighter harder alongside it's master for it could be equipped with a rangled weapon. The max CL would only be CL 40. Need to be a Master Bounty Hunter to use it.

DZ70 - Basic floating combat droid. Weakest power of all combat droids (really, a slow moving ball in the air is an easy target). Able to assist in master. No skill would be require to use it.

Probot - A step up from DZ70 model. Very useful in attacking stronger targets. No additional skills would be needed to use this droid.

B1 a.k.a. Battle Droid - This droid would be one of the first to be used in a skill tree for the use of Advanced Droids. The B1 would be a quick infantry unit on the ground, and able to wield weapons. These droids would not be capable of learning any new combat techniques. You would have to train in a field of a new "Droid Handler" profession of some sort to use these.

B2 a.k.a. Super Battle Droid - One of the next droids in a possible new profession. Acting the same as Battle Droid, these huge mechanic warriors would have built laser cannons in their wrists and a heavily armored upper body capable of withstanding more blaster fire. Being smarter than the B1, these droids could have chips built in the make them become better fighters over time, increasing their CL to a certain point. You would have to train in a field of a new "Droid Handler" profession of some sort to use these.

Destroyer droids a.k.a. Droidekas - These powerful droids would be the next level of droid to be used. These droids have powerful twin blasters and personal shield generators. Capable of rolling up into a ball, these droids could move fast in and out of battle. Able to be equipped with a learning chip, they would gradually grow stronger over time to a certain CL. Once again, t a special profession (same as the other two droids) would have to be made so that players could have a balanced environment.

IG-100 MagnaGuards a.k.a. bodyguard droids - These would be one of the last models of combat droids to be used in the single new profession. Capable of gaining the rank of CL 80 via learning with special chips, these droids would be deadly. Able to use both ranged and melle weapons, this droid would be the best a person could use in combat. Only the Master of this new profession would be able to use these deadly mechanic warriors.

Other droids (yes, I know, I'm making alot of proposed droid usage posts):

Buzz droids - These droids would not be made made a Droid Engineer, but by a Shipwright. Use these droids as bother a coutermeasure and a ordenance for ships would prove very effective. As an ordenance, pilots would fir a missile containing the buzz droids out infront of their target were it would explode letting free the droids to attack the ship. Pilots would have to use a droid command that would allow the ship's shield to send a surge of power to the droids rendering them useless. The countermeasure would work in the same fashion except the missile would fire backwards from the ship to the enemy and explode in front of them. Master Pilot would be able to use these droids but Novice Pilot would have the ability to surge the shields to ward them off. Master Shipwrights would be able to craft them al well.

General Grievous (an example) - Allowing Droid Engineers to craft special cybernectic attachments similar to that in which General Grievous had would play another role for Droid Enigneers. The parts would act like armor. The schmematics would be hard to get, like the jetpack or Mandolorian armor. Cybernetics specialistics would have to put them on like any other cybernectic. Craftable by only Droid Engineers.

Other droids in cities.

Imperial Mark IV Sentry Droid - These droids could simply be seen monitering Imperial cities.

Analysis droids (like SP-4 and JN-44 ) - These droids could be seen across the galaxy as shuttleport ticket vendors, ticket collectors, information booths (place for players who want more detailed answers than that in the Holocron), and in offices.

Salvage droid, Rolo droids, protocol, scrubber droids, treadwell droids, asp, PK, power droids, and more would be seen eiter performing tasks such as cleaning or transporting, or they could be following their NPC masters through cties.

yoda i think you need to make your postings longer or put more detail in them. jk

yeah! they updated pets, now focus on some droids!

good ideas... wishing.....

Still wish for the delivery droid.
