Has anyone noticed that what we know as the "Probot" is actually an Arakyd Probe Droid and there is no entry called "Probot" that can be found in the StarWars Universe (standard or extended)?

Totally off topic, but here's as good a place as any.

This off topic and bad netiquette, the discussion has been pretty focused and useful so far. I request that you start post to explore this topic outside of the context of this post.

I agree with all of the above.

1) Yes -- but I'm against DE only droids.

2) Yes

3) Yes, I dont see the harm in this.

4) Yes, though I think this is kind of a non issue. I could care less about using a probe droid.

5) NO - no,no,no.

6) Sure, though there are MANY droid shells in the SW universe

TH YOU CAN CONSIDER THIS THE CONSENSUS. well put thank you.

Actually Ender, if you will curb your enthusiasm a minute and count them up, it looks like an almost 50/50 split (not counting a few that were indfifferent to the idea). Hardly a consensus at all....

1. Agreed.

2. Agreed.

3. Agreed.

4. Mildly disagree. We make droids that fill all sorts of roles; I don't expect all of them to be coincident with a DE's needs. Medical droids (as currently implemented), for example.

5. Agreed.

6. Mildly disagree. Everyone fixates on Droidekas, but I see them as being A) Out-of-date (ie. from an earlier era), and B) Potentially too powerful (as shown in the movies). Droidekas are "cool", but I'm not going to lose any sleep if we don't get them. If anything, make it a Master DE blueprint.

Thank you!

1 a-not limit new droids to DE-only combat droids- agree

1 a- not limit new droids to DE-only combat droids- agree

b- no combat modules for non combat droids- disagree protocal droid programed diffrently and given a weapon should be able to act in combat - maybe create a combat brain to allow for a grater diversity - make the world contain more than 4 (present) useful droids.

2 combat droids to sale- agree

3 game balance for powerful combat droids - agree - and maybe in the future

Tie certifications to DE & a new class "Teck Runner" must have Artisan Eng4 to become "Tech Runner"

skill tree 1 - Practical Droid Use - certs using droids and related

skill tree 2 - Practical Vehicle Use - certs using vehicles and related

skill tree 3 - Technical Economics - cheaper space travel, cheaper structure maintenanceetc

skill tree 4 - Street know how - raise medical stim use and improve value of buffs on self (time)

4 - Use all droids you can make - agree

5 - special DE droids - disagree - just give more lego blocks and DE's will be able to put creativity to use.

6 - Droidekas somehow - agree somewhat - a wider variety that work properly will do
