I want the devs to add the possibility to ride and R2 Droid! Go R2D2, bring me to my destination! (beep)(beep)

I like the idea of droid mounts, I don't remember any off hand from the movies, but I don't remember Correlian Butterfies, either. Maybe they should make them up.

Someone said, "How about vehicles", which I dispise the idea of the devs fixing DEs by making them not DEs anymore, but that's a different topic. The beauty of a droid mount over a vehicle is that you could get off the droid and it becomes an instant partner(for fighting if they can or just fading when you pull it out like most of them do now, whatever...) Someday I'll get to ride on my Cu Pa, in theory, Raffa and then be able to double my ability to fight. A vehicle just sits there without a driver, so if you get out/off of it, it's worthless(and possibly a target to be destroyed).

Here are some droid mounts: Robo-Hack, Mule Droid, Basilisk War Droid, Dark Trooper Phase III, X-1 Viper Automadon.

As long as it can be shaped so someone can sit on it and then when that person gets off it can be given commands(aka not driven) then it would work. No need for it to change transform. It could have any form of locomotion, too. Quadraped, biped, wheeled, tracked, or maybe even floats a bit. As for a long shot, perhaps even some personallity chips would be in order.

Sarcastic: "Maybe someday you'll let me ride on you.... Master."

Yet another possibility for DE's, if they ever ran with half of the stuff that people came up with in here we'd be an awesome profession.
