Thread: Wondering where our responces are from TH
Whydroids? - well, if those who are familiar with the books can state, Droids were made to de-centralize computers (darn slicers are their Uber-Hackery-ness), so slicers can't just take control of those nice cobalt cruisers and such. Well, seeing their wide uses of "grunt work" and jobs nobody else wants to do - the droid caught on and some techs took them home, neighbors saw, and soon everybody had a droid or two (or more).
Well, the point of all this is to say, its my opinion that DE's should be aloued to pull out like, 5-6 droids BUT I say only 1 combat-type at a time.... I'd even state, to make things a little better, make it One Droid of Each Type...One repair, one treadwell (which, BTW, is classically the Matintance Droid), one surgical, one Probot... I think this could leand its self to more DE Happyness.

PS: R-units are not maintance droids, they are there mostly for computer processing power- R2's have a few more tools to be more versatile, where R5's have more processor speed (better for Astro Navigation) and so on. Treadwells are the maintaince droids- classically, at least.

Ever get the feeling youre like Annie?
"TOMORROW TOMORROW... I LOVE YA TOMORROW!!!! Your always a day awaaaaaaayyy!"
Sigh.... *crosses finger for the DE profession, and anxiously awaits this information*
Go to your own forums to complain about the food and spice bugs. I wan't it fixed too, and I'm sure since this is the first time a dev's every responded to a post here, they will start looking at other broken professions too.
*still feels special since the response*
hehe

OK... About this 1 combat bot per DE business.....
I looked quite carefully.... in the episodes that featured scores of combat droids vs. jedi, I specificly did NOT see an equal number of Droid engineers in a herd behind them. In 1 scene, I saw 1 human giving a squadron of em orders..... That's it.
If you're a Master DE, AND have a very high faction level, you SHOULD be able to control a whode muddle of combat droids (THIS is where the "Formation" commands would/will make sense)
Notice there are several Thunderheart posts already, and not a single hint to anything DE-related.
Top priority, huh?
heh
What a joke

...still waiting...
For the record, I am not a DE nor do I plan on becoming one. However, I am a BH who was forced to pick-up some CH skills - not because I wanted to become a creature handler, but because BH's have almost no defensive skills, cannot wear armor and usespecials due to high HAM costs,and with the probot nerf I needed something to absorb damage for me.
I would love to use my extra skill points in another area, and would gladly pay DE's for some BH-specific combat droids. I think in general that you guys have been shafted the most, and I hope that they give you some lovin' soon (in addition to a large variety of useful, profession-specific droids that you can sell to everyone).
As much as I want to see some changes in BH after all of the nerfs we've suffered and a bugged branch of our profession, I would whole-heartedly endorse that DE's get addressed first. Good luck and I hope you guys get your fixes!
