/Doh


R2 - hacked the deathstar database in Episode IV


R2 - got the codes to get off Lando station and knew the hyperdrive was disabled in Episode V


R2 -was goingto hack open the Imperial base doors on Endor in Episode VI



A computer interface module might be very useful, if for nothing else then to replace some (or one ) of the needed members to take a base out. no?

it's swg


r2 can't repair itself


r2 can't get 50m without a battery


r2 can't stand too close to a butterfly without exploding.


good idea though , but a dream is but a dream.......

I think this would help DE's as well as make the game more 'Star Warsy'.


Droids being involved deeply in the GCW would add much value to droid engineers...

I think we'd all agree with you Star_Ranger, but he's right. If you want to take out an Imperial base in THIS galaxy, you don't need R2-D2, you need Stumpy the cowardly gurreck.

Main reason:


Rancor's fingers are too big to type and hack

Nice idea. If all nice ideas I have seen so far made it into this game, it would the last game ever. No need to play something else. Too bad the game is already released and big changes will take 10 times the time to implement. Also exisiting systems are way more sensible to get a change.

Nontheless a nice idea.

Theres no way in hell the PvP community will support something that doesnt involve blowing, beating or shooting something to bits :-)

It's very interesting that in the chain of events that must happen to destroy a faction base is the requirement that a BE be present to DNA sample the control panel. that's never made much sense to me. It would be infinitely more logical to have to have a DE present to do something than this DNA sample nonsense.
