Okay, but I've got to ask the negativist question: what the hell would I do with three active droids? There aren't enough available droid functions to make three active droids any more attractive than two.

I don't personally mind if people other than DEs get to control more than one droid, as long as it doesn't lead us right back down the slippery slope into the "everybody can control any droid equally" mentality that got us where we are now. But multiple droids in themselves seem pretty harmless.

I think we're operating under the theory that we'll be given more droid functions, as well. The list of excellent suggestions is quite long... all the devs would have to do is implement a half-dozen of them or so and the need for 3, 4, 5, or even more Droids out simultaneously would be obvious.

To give Droid Engineers something "special" (which seems to be a popular demand around here), non-DE should be limited to 2 droids - one combat and one utility. Droid Engineers should have the ability to simultaneously control more than 1 utility droid in addition to their combat droid culminating with, perhaps, as many as 3 utility droids at MDE.
