Just an idea, anyone think the following would be of any value:

A new droid that looks and acts just like the the small flying droid that Luke used to practise his light sabre against. You know the one, that shot him in the rear? In SWG, this droid would have 10 charges just like the new seeker and probe droids. They would give their owners bonuses to their combat stats. For example, +10 pistol speed, accuracy, aim while running, etc. In order to use them, the owner would need the droid itself plus master artisan made goggles that gives the player a HUD interface that the droid feeds data to. What the droid would be doing is tracking the targets speed and direction and giving the player a predictive position of the target in the future at time of impact of the player's weapon.

The droids and the goggles would be charged based items. Say 10 uses on the droid and 20 on the goggles before they expire and the player has to buy a new set.

Since the droid is small, flying, and fast, it should be difficult but not impossible to hit by the player's enemy. One hit destroys the droid, but the player can keep the droid on a hot button to pop a replacement up. Most creatures of low intelligence will just ignore the droid completely.
