Drashk,
Do you have an eta on a response, or even a guess?

1) Droid Experimentation - The current experimentation system has little to no effect on our final product. Studies have shown that experimentation on chassis specific parts - Droid Brains, Arms, Sensors, Etc with high Mechanism Quality Ratings - may actually lower the end success rate. HAM and damage values provide less than a 1% increase from failed to amazing results. What steps are being taken to bring our crating system in line with other crafting professions?






I know you already submitted the questions so here is just an add on to this for some follow up quesitons:

-experimentation on crafting modules, when will we be able to tell the effectiveness of the crafting modules within the droid and be able to experiement these up like architects do with the private crafting stations (and tools)

Looks like you've got a good feel for the main questions. I see no problems with any of the questions and can't think of anything I would change. Good job there.

Great list. I love the fact you put #10 in there. Even though it isnt really a question and it wont be addressed for another 6 months at which time they will give us a loose time-frame of when they will consider the issues. Truth is half of the questionsonthis listwere cut straight out of the DE issue list to begin with.


Drashk keep fighting the good fight, keep pressing for info on droid healing.

Wondering if we are going to see any more info on the Publish 8 changes for droid engineer.


You folks said you'd have 8 of the 10 DE questions addressed by Publish 8. Which 8, I am wondering?


1) Droid Experimentation: Subcomponent quality does not have proper effect on final quality when assembling droids.


2) Droid Power Levels - fixed (7)


3) Droid customization - Giving ability to all players. No mention of how fast the rates will decay.


4) Multiple Droids Out - Addressed by saying No?


5) More Stored Droids - Addressed by saying No?


6) Advanced Droid Chassis - fixed (8) All models displayable


7) Utility module - fixed (8) with some new utility modules - DE community hoping for more than the 4 in the publish notes.


8) Droid functionality - will the BLL and basic Protocol droids have a purpose?


9) Combat Modules - fixed (7)


10) Bug fixes - Well, go look at Gorantoth's list.



So, which 8 of the 10?
