Jenden and Tarne_Monter I have to respectfully disagree. Specially when even today I can get a Bio-Pet nonCH with 5K HAM thats is not dependant on batteries just stims. We even asked for the DZ70 to be replaced with the roger roger droids. As for the Indirectly *DID* that was the whole point of the miss communication.If you wish to discuss this I will on PM's. What I would like to keep focus on now is the exsisting bugs that could be worked on instead of more work on the DH proffession. By working out the droid bugs they will make JTLS even more appealing with fully functional droid modules and droids. That was my point.


As for some of the modules I heard thet they would let the droid repair shields or increase speed or regenerate weapons power faster...stuff like that. Which would increase the DE's market and economic value. Face it with "Space Droids" everyone from entertainer to BH's are going to want to try different droids with there ships. Some want more speed while other will want more shield protection....it is a win win for DE's. I am very excited about JTLS but hope the bugs wont trip us up.

I haven't seen a report yet where a BE non-CH pet (bugged ones excluded) even came close to standing up to a fully loaded R3 or probot, so I'm not sure what your arguing here. Batteries are cheap and easy to use, so its not like thats really an issue.

This was one of the smaller arguments as I remember. Most people were asking for > CL10 droids (comming up with the various certification and hybrid proposals). Some kind of replacement idea was more or less a different issue.

Not saying there wasn't any miscommunication, but they didn't outright lie and we did ask for better combat droids, we just didn't know that that implied a new profession (where the communication broke down).

I completely agree, which is why I said that any kind of DC profession would be probably a good half year after space came out. They need to take that time leading up to it to fix bugs, both with droids and other game aspects. Furthermore, as I said before, bug fixing and new content (such as a new profession) are done from two different groups (according to the devs), so one doesn't have a very large impact on the other. This would make complete sense from a programming perspective, as I know people (myself included) who can debug code 10 times better than they can write it, and others that can write amazing stuff but would take hours to find simple, obvious bugs.
