Repair kits for droids, TH told Sintrosi they were coming and would "Fix" many things in our profession, that's how long that "promise" has been fermenting.!

I think the list looks great!


[And not to take the thread off-topic, but wouldn't a "roger-roger"battle droid look extraordinarilly silly when it's there by its lonesome, since its owner can only take one out at a time?


I would suggest making the droid a "package" droid system -- i.e. it's one deed, one item in the datapad, but it's, say,four separate little walking entities when you call them out. They all walk in concert with one another though can die separately. Remember, as per Ep 1, these guys were very weak, so perhaps the four of them together can be CL 10? This would go well along with continuity.]

Virtanis has your number, Drashk. This is a 4 and 5/16 star list of questions. Well done.

However, without working repair methods for combat capable droids (for white HAM damage, not wounds), I find it hard to believe that combat folk will choose them since they can't be healed.




Exactly... and the repair pack "question" is so incredibly important to the future of the entire combat droid debate. It's one of my own personal DE-crusades. I recall them giving us hot air on it before and they continue to say "it's in the works", but it's so vital to the future of our combat droids, it just drives me batty that it's not a top priority issue/concern.

The reason that the Repair kit wasn't included in the 10 is because I have asked the question at least 3 times on the Correspondents forums already and still haven't recieved an answer about their status. I've asked at least 2-3 questions for every one posted here, prior to the call for a listing of 10. This list is compiled of questions that I haven't asked to date, so that means there are now at least 30-ish questions for TH to find answers to.

You would think that repair packs or something like that are on the way because there is a /healdroid command that does nothing

Good job, Drashk. My only complaint (as with so many) is that I have more questions than you listed that I would REALLY like answered. As with perhaps most of us, my priorities differ slightly from everyone elses. That being said, I think this is an excellent list of questions.

Good solidlist of the main issues. Is there any kind ofETA on the replies?

Good list Drashk


I would agree with some others that the repair question should be one thou. It may be harder for them to weasle when put forward publicly. If something goes bad on the correspondant forums, they have someone they can blame

Good list. Reason why I am so glad you are our Blue Glowy. Hope your weekend is a good one.


[Off topic: I still wonder how the Battle Droids got the name Roger-Roger other then thats all they say in Episode I, does anyone of the main charcters ever call them Roger-Roger? - Drashk sorry for going off topic]

Nicely done, Drashk. A decent list, by all accounts. The trick is to make sure they don't dodge the question or DevSpeak it away now.


Good luck matey.
