I'm betting the AI work to do this combined with the number of them that would be out would be a bit harsh on the hardware. would add a lot of extra load to the server. stationary stuff should be pretty easy to do though.

I agree, stationary items always seem to be easier implemented then mobile "dropable"items.

The only mobile droid of the above is the "Ambient" droid, but that is for outside use only by mayors and player cities.

I like the idea of a stationary droid, if for nothing else decoration... But adding functionality would double the fun and add interesting new decorating ideas to a shop, store, or emporium.

A cool addition that may also add to this item is that it barks what it is... So if a customer walks in and there is a stationary "utility droid" they will know right off what it does.. Figure it could work like the vendors barking???

Comments and suggestions welcome... But keep flaming to yourself...

Not really a stationary droid per say, but still a useful droid nonetheless . . . Vendor droids.

DEs craft droids, customise appearance, and merchants can make them vendors. Or players with business 3.

Another suggestion is an information droid. Talk to the droid, and he will give a price list, explain how to use droids, etc. Can be placed in player cities too. This has a nice use as a book of sorts too, where players can read what the droid has to say.

How about a radio droid? He can play music which doesn't mind heal, but just adds to the ambience of the house! The music is pre-determined of course, since MP3s can't be uploaded by players due to copyright infringements *bah*

I like the ideas.

Some of the stationary droids you mention are in game already, but in NPC cities. being able to add a stationary medical droid in a player hospital shouldn't be to hard I think, seeing they are there already.

And this idea have been around before which means (I hope) that the DEVS have read it. Would it be to late for them to implement it for publ. 8? Only if they didnt liked the ideas in the first place. Would this mean they will never implement it? Doubtful, since they will focus more on the DE's sometime after the Space Expansion.

The fact that this is brought up again only shows that even if several months have passed since it was last spoken of, doesn't mean we forgot them or don't want them.

And I think that some cross profession items would be needed. DE would build the droids, but the medic (for example) would supply some item for the medical droid.

All in all. good idea

Fx droids should be able to make any Structure or immediate vicinity a hospital aria with the medical rating of whatever module built in. This should benifit other people aswell, not just the owner of Thedroid. Other stationary droids should possess symilar bonuses.
