Thread: DE & SE
Ok, first of all. R2 droids being able to repair ships in space. Hopefully this should be on the dev's table if not already in.
Droid brains, or Advanced Droid brains required to make ships. I mean really do you think you can make the calculations for the jump to light speed with an abacus?
Ship Diagnostic module. This module would allow a droid to determine what systems are in need of repair or replacement.
Ex. 3P0 finding out what's wrong with the falcon's hyperdrive.

If we can't even get a droid to tank a bolle, or have a droid capable of remembering patrol points, or a power droid that doesn't need batteries, or even a droid that can hold A single battery in a slot, what makes you think the devs would allow droids to do anything as important as repair of a starship?
I'm not being a troll here. I'm just unable to even hope for good ideas such as yours to be even considered.
We can't even have a battery slot.
How can these things with the same armor rating as a loaf of fresh bread be expected to do anything in the expansion?

Unfortunately I agree.
I have a feeling our contribution to the space expansion will be that a X-Wing requires a R2 Droid Chassis - like a Shuttleport requires a Protocol chassis.
I hope I'm pleasantly surprised, but I'm not holding my breath.
AO, who is overall optimistic about the space expansion, but not the core DE roles in it
