Thread: Poll Combat or Utility

Given the timeline of the game, #1 should definately be done before #2. Combat droids would be nice and all, but droids really should be more about doing things that people just can't or don't want to do, such as harvesters, helping surgeons, etc. If we had some modules that had utility to different groups AND were only allowed in certain frames, I think we would do rather well, I am not so sure how I would feel about greater utility if we got new modules and all or almost all of them were the same generic "just toss them into whatever droid you feel like" variety. I am still waiting for some type of droid speciality. But, my vote is #1 regardless.

I wand droids to be functional in general, besides the medical droid. Droids are USELESS, that includes the probot in my opinion. the armor helps, but it doesn't do any damage at all. Its not about DE, its about Droids in SWG... I think we gotta think about that..



but hey..this is a poll.. and therefore I vote #1

#2 - This represents NEW CONTENT.


Fixes and enhancements for the utility of existing designs is an ongoing process, and quite frankly, you're all setting your sights too low if you pick #1.

Just a quick comment, but NOTHING will increase the demand for droids more than adding combat droids.

To those saying "what more utility can they add" - the current droids we have provide little to no utility at all - every class should have a specific droid that enhances there skills (like the seekers enhance bounty hunters)

Medical droids for medics/ doctors and combat medics ( i mean specific ones that ENHANCE not general use medical modules)

Droids that assist with everyday life..


  • Harvesters, factories, vendors, transportation of goods,

  • Repairs to machinery, other droids and vehicles.

Droids can be so much more than just portable crafting stations and combat droids. This is top priority for me in increasing DE sales and demand. - get this sorted then worry about the combat droids later.

I am not a primary combat type person. I tend toward the crafting side. So, that gives you some context.


I understand that A LOT of other players may want #2 though, since, most players do combat.

I don't think you understand.


Combat droids will require skill cost. Skill cost limits your market.


Utility droids that can be used by various professions is a larger market than combat droids. You will sell MORE utility droids then you will EVER sell combat droids.


Not only that but useful utility droids that take resources let you charge more per unit than a bunch of low costing (<lvl10) combat droids.


This is one reason I LOVED being an architect. Even though it took a lot of resources I didn't have to sell in high volume. I could sell a large structure everyonce in a while and still keep a decent amount of money.
