Hey guys, I've been pondering a droid idea for JTL, which I'm hoping to get a little feedback on. I know y'all have a house full of issues what with the changes to combat droids screwing you over, but this is one that might open a few doors for you.
Now, I fly a Nova Courier these days, I've got a group of good people who can be gunners, Ops and repair crews, but its often a pain in the neck trying to get them all together at once. I've been out a few times with a smaller crew, leaving some posts empty and this scary void in my damage control team. I was wondering how you guys would feel about trying to push for a starship repair droid module?
Something similar, but hopefully less a joke than, the stimdroids they foisted on y'all back in Publish 7/8. The idea is that if I can get a partial crew of players, I could supplement the support staff with a droid (or two from friends) that can cover repairs while we fly.
These droids would need to be armored decently, and would hopefully have enough room for an autorepair module (those plasma conduits break ugly) but would be able to go from damaged conduit/component and use a general purposerepair kit/conduit repair kit which we load onto them.
Just an idea, any chance this would interest you?

This is a concept that many POB pilots would happily embrace and have been requesting since JtL beta. Maybe now that POBs are slowly getting tweaked (as shown by the new Elite components), now is a good time to push for this too. Repair modules (as you've mentioned) and Fire Extinquisher Modules (to suppress the plasma fires and maybe required to repair broken conduits).

here is snip of something i posted a while back
2. Autopilot Droids: All multi passenger ship captians wish that their autopilot worked when they get up from the pilots seat. I think that we should be able to make amodulethat allowed any humanoid or R series droid able to control ship to various WP in space.The module will have a opptional chip in it to do a few different things:
- No Chip = straight line flights to different wp.
- Pilot Chip = straight line flights to different wp with object collision avoidance.
- Adv. Pilot Chip = straight line flights to different wp with object collision avoidance and defensive flight when attacked.
- Military Pilot Chip = searches area X x Y x Z big for targets and trys to follow so pilot can attack in gun turrets, should be loot drop item.
3. AutoRepair Stations: This peice of furniture is placeable within a Multi passager ship, and can be loaded with a number of repair kits. When said ship takes damage the droid springs to life to repair any and all damage till it runs out of repair kits or ship is destroyed. This was on Queen Amidala's ship on the first movie, when the droids sprang to life to repair the ships shield system.
here is the LINK to the original
