Droid Engineer Archive
Thread: I need some comments/opinions...
Fun: Interacting with customers and telling them the variety of droids and modules available.
Unfun: The dependance on MA parts and the R3 droid winning out in most situations due to the fact it holds the most module slots ![]()
Fun: 1) Having a wide variety of modules to add to droids.
2) Talking/Haggling with customers about the droids and their functions.
3) Making money selling Droids
Unfun: 1) No true droid decay or condition (Not many repeat customers except BHs)
2) Too many factory runs for components
3) Spending Skill points on MA is basically a requirement for DE
Unfun: The feeling of total apathy that the outcome of the Sodian proposal left me with.
Unfun: Everything mentioned by the other posters, PLUS, not knowing if a module actually works in a droid or not. I have now made 2 R3 Adv droids with a lvl 3 Maint module for myself, and in both cases it doesnt work. I dont know if its a bug or if its not a bug. Would be nice if the schematics for the modules said "Usable in All Droid Frames" or "Usable only in R series chassis" for an example. At least this way I could say, yep its a bug, or nope, its nto a bug.
FUN: Having absolutely HUUUUGE stocks of droids, for some reason this makes me very happy (strange g1rl
)
NOT FUN: Having to have 6 houses to store all my stuff ‘cos I hate the vendor laaaaaaaaaaag caused by people using ‘em for storage. Why can’t architects build warehouses with 1000 item storage limits?
Fun: The diversity in building a Droid, you choose what to put in it. It's a great feeling when your Droid turns out perfect.
UnFun: That you could make more money just selling the resources then you can as a Droid Engineer. With no real Droid decay, there is simply not enough customers to go around, even with maxed droids. Once people have their droids, they have them.
Yeah I dropped MDE, but Ill toss mine in...
Fun: The feeling of completing a droid (or several hundred droids)
Unfun: Stacking modules, which has led to the R3 being the only viable droid to build.
