Thread: If Droid Engineers made player vehicles...
89) Searcing the forums would turn up at least 147 unique threads begging the developers to give us the podracers from Episode I.
90. Your x-wing and tie fighters would be shot down by a creature handler riding on a peko peko.
(About # 91 I guess) People would buy them out of pity for your class and then ride away on their mounts.
92. Fully Experimenting on them with thebest resources and your new+5 pointswould make them .1% more resistent to gentle breezes.
93. The nav computor on board would only store schematics, but since EVERY player has HUNDREDS of schematics this would be very usefull...
94. Eventually a big patch would come out and DE's would no longer be allowed to use their vehicals without mastering a new proffesion.
95. Every part and final vehicle would requireparts only buildable by Master Brawler, along with parts from Master Artisans. Which of course would mean every DE would have to alternate between Obtaining Master Artisan, making components, dropping skills, mastering Brawler, making components...etc every 2 weeks, while harvesting resorces, and then you would get mean /tells complaining 20k is too much for a vehical when mounts are better and only cost 2k.
96. Fair market value of the vehicle would be 25k given resources, factory parts, skill and time needed to build it, but some dood will sell it for 7.5k. Players want to know if you'll sell for 5k like CH mounts.
97. Power Droids will attach to them (counting as your own pet) so no problem powering the electronics. Sadly, it still needs Bantha Fart Gas fuel which you can only buy from CHs.
98. DE made vehicles would require Architect PowerCore and Garage Deed, Armorsmith armorsegments, weaponsmith parts for the alarm/shock defense system, Master Artisan electronics, and a slicer for the final combine. No other profession will ever need a vehicle component for anything.
99. Pure-crafter DEsfinally got their way and everyone but a DE can drive them because DEs are really a crafting not a driving class while others actually need to get around.
100. Devs unwittingly impare most DE vehicle functionality making them of little use to most players. You find a way to addfunctions like passenger seats while waiting for fixes.People call you an exploiter.
101. When they finally become available everyone buys them for fair market price of 25k, except for CHs who can pay $250k or kiss your f***ing @ss!!!
99. You will have to in addition to becoming a master chef have to go on a mission.. Yes a very hard mission to find Dr. Emmet Brown and obtain the much needed flux capacitor to operate your vehicle.. Yes this is when your you will need to use your skills find some insect meat and craft a melon in order to power the delorian; I mean speeder. At this point youwill goto Earth year 2005 when the devs have the code working and bring back the needed assembler patches, but you will come in contact with Pot and other hard drugs and forgetto bring all the code back as your data pad will not be large enough.. Instead you willreturn with a Rockin guitar, skateboard and Martha Stewart to show how to arrange those melons in a fashionable way; while also learning how to cheat on city taxes.. Doc will be mostpissed and flail his arms hitingthe trigger of Jawaion rifle destroying the flux capacitor and there will be no speeders ever!

Your speeder stops working and you have to get out and 'play' with it to cheer it up.
This is an awesome post. I can't believe I missed it the first two times arround!
106) Your vehicles only listens to verbal commands. /gallop, /stay (or else it will follow you into the Cantina!), /getPatrolPoint, /friends, and of course /group
107) Despite storing your vehicle in the Datapad (sigh), you still get the message: "Your mount slows down because it is winded"
108) A CH tells you to get with the plan, as Droids and Ships are not apart of the Star Wars world and to get a mount.
109) Uninterupted Nav travel is nurfed as Crafting and Harvesting are not hard enough, and after all a Crazy Durmi should be able to jerk you out of a moving speeder.
110) CH start gripeing about the lag ships have caused and demand you put it up.
111) Sitting in your speeder that seems to not want to start do to a server error, you watch as CH's on mount's pass by snickering at you.
112) You begin to wonder just how many of the Developers where alive in 1977 when Star Wars was released. As it seems all they can remember is 15 minutes of ROTJ specifically in jabbas palace.
(Yes I watched Star Wars when it was released to the theaters in 1977, in stunning 70MM)
