1) Improvement: Make factory crates stackable/splittable in stacks up to 1000 (Just like how resource stacks work). Reduces the managiblity nightmare of a million droid components.Wouldalso allow us to sell stacks of repair kits, batteriesin 10, 20 or 100 units.
2) Bug/Improvement: Fixing naming of personality chip droids (bug)by creating a 'Set Name' command on droids (improvement). No more obscure pet naming syntax.
3) Improvement: No more random rating stats on droids.I.e.Make the crafting modules use the same ratingsas private stations, displayactual damage and rate of fire on combat droids.
4)Improvement:Make batteries less of a pain for customers.Either make themlast 10 (or 100 times) longer and cost 10 or 100 times as much, or make droids self recharge themselves from batteries in their storage components. Also, display charge as actual 'real time' (20 mins left: Max charge - 60 mins) instead of an arbitray %. At least display a charge delta (i.e 1.6%/min 3.33%/min).
5) Improvement: Upgrade/Modding system for droids - This certainly isn't trivial, butrather than force a decay system on customers, make so they 'want' to come back for upgrades, or for improved modules. Half the fun in games my old favorite games like Autoduel, BattleTech and Privateer came from 'tricking' out your vehicle/mech/ship. So should it be for droids.

1. Feature change/add: More chassis bonuses like the MSE getting more Det Power. Obviously, these should be able to go over the 'normal' maximum!
BLL - Storage rating
Surgicals - Stimpack
LE Repair - Repair
Treadwell - Maintenance
2. Bug: Chassis bugs, conversational droids not being 'name'able, power droids using batteries.
3. Feature change/add: 50 or 100 crate sizes for all electronics components (GP, MM, Control). Doc medical components come in 50, droid repair kit components go in crates of 50.
4. Feature change/add: New droid chassis as a lootable schematic.
5. Feature change/add: Droid Decay.
BLL - Storage rating
Surgicals - Stimpack
LE Repair - Repair
Treadwell - Maintenance

1. Maint module assembly and use bugs.
2. Naming bug withHumanoid droids, and storage mod isses with sugical.
3. Lack of reasons to use other droid chasis then the R3.
4. Loot drops to be used in droids, everybody else has them.
5. Some way for more droids to be sold, droid decay or house binding are good examples.

Not in any particular order.
Bug: Unlimited Seeker droid usage by BHs when they reach investigation 3.
Bug: Maintenance module being rendered useless.
Issue: Droid decay system (would like to see astromechs damaged in JTL)
Bug: Droid autostoring randomly (a general bug that also effects vehicles and pets) hurts the effectiveness of the Merchant barker.
Issue: Would like to see droid deeds display "real" stats. Damage, etc.

#1 - Remove the Droid Armor modules and slots when we craft so that people are CONVINCED armor has been nerfed once and for all.
#2 - Fix the damn bug where Structure Maintenance Modules do not appear in crafted R series Droids.
#3 - Make it so critical errors in craft and experimentation DOES NOT OCCUR AT ALL when you have a Droid toolbet, lots of Droid Skill tapes, the best Crafting station and craft tool after spending millions of dollars on it to be the best, and you still can't be the best!
#4 - Craftable Droidekas!!!
#5 - Uh... that's it... fix that and I'll be happy. everything else in DE is super!

1. feature: give me a reason to build a BLL.
2. fix: storage in surgical chassis. 
3. fix: structure maintenance module droids
4. feature/fix: remove the power requirement from the power droid chassis.
5. feature: 'specialize' some of the chassis: make stuff like the Treadwell and (gee wiz) the Repair Droid better for repair, or the 'only' ones for repair, or similar specialties.

Heres my top 5
1) MDE to call an extra none combat droid ie 2 droids at once
2) Ability to name humanoid droids ie surgical, le-repair and protcol
3) Droid Handeler Proffession
4) New Droid Frames ie Pit Droid,Salvage Droid,Droideka, Battle Droid,Super Battle Droid
5) Lootable Schematics and droid parts/resourses.These could these could ether be quest based like RIS armour or random drops in a certain area/dungen ie Droideka cave on LOK perhaps..

1. Feature change/add /bug : coherent understandable stats on droid deeds.
2. Bug : Maintenance module, make it work.
3. Bug/Feature change : Naming droid, possible solution here : autogenerated number/letter name when the droid is readied the first time, like the Basic prof R2 helpers are.
4. Bug : Armor display, not shown on the deed, wrong display on the droid.
5. Add : Decay.
Extra : Skill point, DE is the Crafting prof with the highest skill point requirement(because of Master Artisan), and probably the lowest income. Something is wrong here.

1. Add a craftable piece from a Bio-Eng that would allow Interplantary Survey droids to scan the creatures for resource stats.
2. Fix Maintainence modules.
3. Add a "droid buff/power pack" that would last 15-30 mins and useable by all players.
4. Fix Seeker Droids so they will expire completly
5. Set the hard cap on MAX Item Storage of MSE-type Droids to 4 items.
