JustG just stated that the publish 8 trickle out is started with a target date of next tuesday. Is there anything lined up to be changed with the droid modules between now and then? Right now there are some great things, but many items still need work.

I saw this this morning and have had a knot in my stomach ever since. My biggest concern is that we still have an interplanetary survey droid that is simply not functional. We don't even know what it's function is supposed to look like yet. The rest of the modules seem to be working okay, just a few bugs here and there, which I'm sure can be ironed out in a week. But that survey droid..... *shudder*

Dear SOE:
- Nice code
- Nice code
- Good ideas
- Implementation from Hell - you broke your company's word about the type and quality of your customer communications.
- Thanks JustG for eventually telling us why you've been so swamped at least. It does not excuse the poor communication, but makes it possible to forgive it.

I'm building up the bug/issues list right now. It won't be very big since most things seem to be pretty functional. The only thing we are likely to see are tiny tweaks and fixes.
Right now there are some great things, but many items still need work.
Only the Survey module needs any serious work. From there, it's all small tweaks and adjustments. I haven't seen anything yet that I can say would keep them from pushing this Live (once the Survey email works).

Problem is that this is one of if not the most anticipated droids (Survey) so if it's not even working a little let alone the planned subpar near useless level that's going to be bad. Then there is the Harvesting module which is currently disappointing to pretty much everyone that wants one. So once again another round of disappointment or at least unfulfilled expectations.

/argee there. other than that I am statisfied with the current progress. And hey if it doesnt work out, the devs can always tweak things, like they are with the combat droids in this publish.
Great work TK for being on top of all of this!
