I have an idea for a new droid and a way it can be used.....

The other day a friend of mine was in the dathmoor prision facility and was commenting on the cool interrogation droids that were there.... This got me to thinking .... Why cant DE's make Interrogation droids? and if we could what would they be good for? After brainstorming with a BH I believe we cam up with a very cool concept that wouldnt take all that much effort to code (an educated by me as a software developer)...

Anyway here it is...

========================================================

Interrogation Droids

Construction: On par with materials used in Seeker's...Add 10Extrusive Ore

Charges: 5

Usage: Used to coerce the location of a Mark from a "hostile" informant.

Mission Details: In order to use these droids the bounty hunter missions would need to have a new mission type with one additional step. Instead of simply being given the location of your informant to that you can then track your mark, you would be given the last known location of a "hostile" informant. That informant would be someone like a thug from the marks gang or a smuggler that is known to traffic for the mark. You would first need to track them down like you would a mark and then use the interrogation droid on them. Not every use would be successful and rather than coercing the informant it may enrage the informant causing it to attack the interrogation droid and quite possibly the BH. A success makes the informant docile andallows you to retrieve the bio signatureof the mark thhat you must then track down. Depending on how far you travelto reach the informant the mission would receive a bump in payout.

=============================================================

Ultimately this would add a new droid we could sell to BH's and would add something new to BH's that would make life a little more intricate and a little more interesting. Three BH's I ran this by all said they would love the extra level of complexity to say 1 in every 4 missions...

Well there ya go...

If anyone else has seen a droid in the game that is not able to be made by a DE currently please post it here ... maybee someone can suggest a use for it.... I know their are Droidekas and I already have my fingers crossed
