Well, 1 isn't new. And that's a bartender droid. I think that would be cool, for the new luxury ships and stuff. Set up a droid, load it up with some drinks and food, and set the prices, and people can just radial click it and buy a drink.
The other one is a piloting droid. Since you can't even autopilot your ship while you are away from the pilot's seat, how about a pilot module that will allow the droid to tend to the driver's seat for you, while you go down to the lower decks and enjoy the party. Even if it's almost just like patrol points, where the droid can only autopilot to preset waypoints. It sucks that your ship has to be sitting there in space while you have a party, and not actually going on a "cruise" like you should be able to.

Bah... instead of Stim-A packs... we are now injecting you with some beverage... Here... Have a liquid lunch...
Now, the auto-pilot idea I like... That would definitely make things more interesting, especially for those of us who RP and want to be able to participate in the party instead of being stuck forward...
And being a pilot, you can't craft while piloting either... bah...
If anything, while it is piloting for you, you can craft in the peace and quiet of space.. no worries about spam shouters at the static cities or the player cities (idiots who won't turn off the spam shouting macros)

We need some sort of auto-pilot, a droid would be a nice thing for them to give us for it.

yeah the bartender droid just sounds like a ploy for an extra merchant if you ask me, prolly wont work, not sayin it cant or wont, just sayin prolly wont
the autopilot is a great idea, infact when I first heard about JTL thats the first thing I thought of

Well, when I craft now, I just let my ship sit there in space and I go down to my work shop in the lower decks and craft out some droids. You're right, it is a lot more peaceful. I'll either craft there, or in my local cantina.

I would be happy with just a fun module (loot drop maybe,) that let you put a drink tray on a droid.
I do like the Auto Pilot idea though/

Agree with most of the comments.
Bartender droid, sounds liek a vendor. What I would like to see would be a loot kit item, so we can create a bartender chassis, which doesn;t do anything but look pretty. Ideas would be Artoo from ROTJ having that drinks tray no his head.
Auto Pilot - Oh god please! I have moved my house onto my Lady Luck (called MissFortune), and really enjoy wandering around it, but I do wish I could travel at the same time.
On the plus side, as a SW as well, at least I can RE things whilst I am piloting. But I do miss out on the parties on the main deck.

If the Devs could create a loot item (hint hint HUTT CASINO themepark)such as the drinktray for the astromechs, and give it the functionality of Drink or fooddisperser much like how the stimpack module works, that would be awesome that could be a workaround for any vendor issues on the multiplayerships. And they can go as far as every time you request a drink it goes through the sipping on a cup animation or what not.
Its certianly not geared for the owner of the droid to make money by having this module, however drinking is a social sport, and when i drink with my buddies in real life, its mostly on me anyways.
