Thanks Handsnake! That's exactly the situation I was thinking about - disabled vehicles.

I'm not really sure what the developer's intention was with disabled vehicles - perhaps they intend you to buy a new one?

Thanks for the /bumps and /signs, folks.

Heck, didn't even think about the decoration angle. I'm not much of a decorator.

Anybody else notice how 'dead' the DE Profession board has become?

It's because most of us have become suicidal.

But i will definitely sign this petition, great idea. Oh and one note on your suggested schematic, it MUST have a manipulator arm or package, since the purpose of this component is for the droid to interact with other things/people/droids, and probably a repair module since it will be repairing.

Well, we can't have the whole thing being subcomponents or it won't have any resources to draw the Quality rating from. I was figuring on having some of the spots for metal and chemical be labelled "Arms and Legs" and such. We need:
A brain,
Manipulators,
Sensors.

So, maybe skip the Master Artisan parts altogether and use:

1 Droid Brain
1 Manipulator Arm Package
1 Droid Sensor Package
100 Non-Ferrous metal
90Inert Petrochemical
5 Gemstone

There, that seem better? Good point on the manipulator arms, might as well use some DE subcomponents.

And an additional thought.SOE's development team possiblydoes not want to provide field repairs of vehicles because the 'money sink' aspect is lost. Well, there is a fix for that too:

Have parts get deliever to the Pit Droid for a cost equal to the repair cost at a vehicle garage.

It will cost more to repair with a Droid than it would at a garage at that point. But the basic utility would be there and I'm fairly certain sales would be brisk.

Hate to play devil's advocate on this one, but how will Master Artisans ever sell new vehicles? Once everyone owns their 3 favorite vehicle types, those customers will never come back to purchase another of those types. They can just grab a 500 credit droid and repair it from being disabled. A better solution would be to allow the Pit Droid to return a vehicle from disabled to working condition but at the cost of half of the vehicle's total max condition. And every repair that the person does using the Pit Droid when the vehicle is not disabled would make the vehicle condition drop by like 10% or so.
