Droid Engineer Archive

One thing I was thinking of was to modify droids so that any unused general module slots that are not filled with modules during construction, become clothing/armor style slots once the droid is finished.

What I envision is by putting in the armor/clothing skill enhancements you are programming the droid to be able to assist you in the skill(s) inserted. Add to that perhaps a bonus to any skills inserted that compliment the droids 'primary function'. Maybe by increasing the resultant skill by 1.5 to 2 times the original value. The bonus would give players a reason to buy the higher level droids rather than just buy up Mouse Droids as that a Mouse Droid would (or should) not have any 'primary function', but the advanced version still has 3 potental slots.

Add to this the limitation that the droid can only give it's bonus to the owner player (not sure how hard this would be to implement) and would be stackable with bonuses provided by skill enhancements provided by clothing (and armor if they ever add slotted armor). The skill enhancements are already in the game so why not?

Just a thought.
