I am torn. They are hard as hell to make, but they are as useful as an MSE.

Too bad the one module deal wasn't available before. We could have exploited the hell out them and then just feigned stupid andsaid "whoaaa! They never said this was an exploit !!"

Really? What do you charge for these things? I never even bothered making them before because they were so utterly stupid on the resources and served no purpose. Now I have dug up enough rare metals to make a whooping 6 frames and don't know what to do with them. Item, Medical, a craft station? What do you do with one slot ??

BLL's are good for one thing: grinding the profession out in an hour.

well, in truth they are still utterly stupid because they are no better than the novice level mouse droid.

i say charge what the resources are worth. the only person who is going to buy one is somebody who either doesn't know what they are doing, or is so in love with the chassis that they don't care about the functionality.

90k... resource price.

I just had a thought. If we're able to put combat modules in them they'd make pretty decent tanks. Of course, they're technically level 12 so I wonder if anyone would still be able to use them. Either way, I wouldn't expect to sell too many at 90k.

Dude, you're using the wrong resources. That's almost 30 CPU!

I sell BLLs right now for 40k on those rare occasions when someone actually wants one. Add in a single module and the price might climb as high as 45k.

One module on a BLL, and only on the ADV at that... what a waste of Dev programming time. At the very least it should be one CLUSTER module. *sigh*

I have found one good use for a BLL, which is a walking billboard. In the player city I live in I have set a patrol path around our shuttleport and mallsaying "Welcome-To-Riverlands", it adds a little character to our city.

Considering it will only be the ADV model, which my spreadsheet currently sets around 59K, I figure 65K or so might be a decent starting price for 'em with one level 6 item storage module.

65K sounds realistic. R3's with the four craft stations + 2 more modulessell for 50K easily, so our biggest pain in the arse in the game to make should sell for 65K easy ( I would hope, or there is no use making them ).

I think I will hang onto my very few frames that I made though. I ran out of Duranium (one resource I dont think I actually ever check for) and I would be banging my head against the wall if they make decent tanks after the next patch (crosses fingers).

Do you reallywant BLL's with combat mods or used as a tanks?Personally I thinkthat would be awful and would look ridiculous...Its a load lifter not a tank. I say just let them have a higher storage capacity than other droids,thatsexactly what they are meant to doand is all they should be able to do.

As for tanks we need NEW droids for that, not utility droids with combat mods, the thought of that makes me cringe.

Sure I would like to see new droids for combat, but if you think that is going to happen anytime soon, you are living a pipe dream. We get combat modules next patch and utility droids the following month. How long do you think it will be before real combat droids come into play and how they can implement them ??

The BLL would make a nice poor mans melee droid (poor being relative here). It has the most HAM of any of our droids and would even look pretty cool tanking. Think of Aliens when Sigourney fought the queen in that giant fork lift thing.

Set itfor what ever, someone will buy it! People in this game will buy anything! I just sold a bunch of Inert Petrochemical on the public vendor to get rid of it. I dont think any of the stats were above 150, OQ was like 12! One guy bought them all!

I honestly think some people specifically play this game just to by **edit**! Mabee like chicks or something!

I charged like 500 bucks for a seeker this other dude wanted to decorate his house with...I traded it to him and then he /tipped me 20000!

I have to say though I did this to my house later and it kinda cracks me up! I have a little floating spy droid in every room lol!
