Has anyone tested the Data droids and the R-4s?
I have seen posts that say it is fixed and then when I test it it is not fixed. I do know that for me, datastorage droids do not work. I have intermediate blueprints and every data storage droid will open but not allow waypoints or droids to be stored. I have not tried schematics.
Maybe I just thought I saw that itwas fixed. if so sorry my bad..

Let the different droid types have special abilities not just an add ability socket. Currently the differences seem only cosmetic.

When at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Been too long since I've done html.

Something that would solve many problems imho is if droids could accept modules up to a certain level. I.E. mouse droids only accept level 1 modules, Threadwell and R5 accept up to level 2, etc...
This would solve several things:
- Markert return: People would come back to upgrade their droids. Starting medics would use the cheap medical mouse droid (lvl 1 module), midway they could switch to an R2 with lvl 3 medical module, and higher levels would buy a surgical droid with a lvl 6 medical module.
- Stop cannibalization: As it is now, higher level DEs are killing the market for lower level DEs, as people would rather have a mouse droid with a high level module than one with a low level module (as modules are the least expensive part of the droid).
- More variety: You'll start seeing droids in the streets different than mouse and probots.
