I give the plan a 3.

There are some nice ideas, but I would not bet on a smooth or fast implementation of those ideas.

Suicide MSE bombs sound like a cool thing, but if pathing doesn't improve they may be useless. If the target happens to warp to you and the MSE explodes right on top of both you and your target, what happens to you? It not just droid pathing I'd be concerned about, its the general MOB pathing (and their penchant for warping with no warning).

Droids with guns. I'm still waiting for the Devs to announce that their aim is to make a single droid at least as powerful as a single creature of the same level. Also, I would love for masterDEs to be able to control a droid equivalent of a Rancor. I'm not talking about something you sell to the average Joe, but a special droid construct that requiresa skill in the DE treein order to use it. That would truly make the DE profession unique and allowa novel role for a crafter in a combat setting (for those so inclided).

3 only in the fact they are talking, but its no real plan its ideas, and many lame ones at that.. fighting R5s.... **edit**...leave it to SOE to ruin another game, and the one pet or mount or faction perk idea. You think you can ride out to your harvestor with you shiny new exploding MSE for protection.... read up on the CH nerf thread. Less than underwhelmed with what I see. Fix the broken things we have Asked for since Beta, then Real combat droid Chassis, not lame combat modules inside the existing shells.

I don't think this even rises to the level of a wish list . . . its more like some ideas tossed around at lunch. . . you're giving them too much credit here Alacrity. Sorry all but,

Droids are dead.

Rate the plan? I will rate it when I see one. But to rate what was given to us today..more of a short synopsis from the Dev team..a "bone" if you will...I'd say a 1. It deserves no more than that and only gets the 1 for laught I got about MSE bombs lol.

Now how about we fix some real issues and they finally give us what we've been asking for too? Still I'll settle for components working right (including batteries).

Ill give it a 5. I was hopeing for something much more....

This was very anticlimatic.

Either you really loved this proposal or you need some remedial math.

It's a 1.

All they did was glance at early Correspondant submissions, and failed to take into account 99% of the DE issues. The tiny little bits in there that are good, still don't matter, because we still can't sell a single solitary combat droid worth selling, and our powerlevel remains an order of magnitude lower than that of the nearest comparable class, CH.

If we're getting into slightly higher level math can I rate it as...


i


(to save people time "i" is the square root of -1 or an imaginary number )

7.

It's pretty good, but it lacks a promise of return business, or limiting module types/levels on droids.

Anyone else think that posting this "Plan" on a Friday just before the weekend was the ideal time to post it?

We will all rage about it for the next 2 days and by the time Monday rolls around, there will be that many negative comments in all the respective threads that ThunderHeart will have a perfect excuse to not respond to them as he has mentioned in his Friday Update.

As for this pathetic excuse for a plan? I'd be hard pushed to give it a 2 right now
