Thread: Posible new idea

Today I was decorating our citys Medical Center and Had a idea.
Why not have the droid chasis that most of us use for decoration
be more? Here are a few thoughts I had:


Each Chasis would have 2 compartments added to it. First being a battery
compartment so it would have power to do the suggest operations. And the
Second being a compartment to place the items needed to do its purpase.
Also the suggested inrage of the chasis would be 2m.


1) Surgical Droids Chasis: You have the ability to place A wound packs
inside and the droid will heal once every minute. Thus opening a new
market for Doctors/medics to sell wound packs. But ofcourse with the
time interval and loss of the Med usage skill Doctors / medics still
heal alot quicker then the droids, but offer a nobody is online at our
city option.


2) LE Repair Droid Chasis: When a damaged driod comes Within range it
would automaticly repair it just as a player called droid could.
Inorder for the droid to do this you must place droid batteries inside
the secondary compartment.


3) Power Droid Chasis: Will automaticly recharge a droid that comes inrange.
Just like the LE repair chasis it would require extra batteries to do this
operation.


4) Proticol Droid Chasis: This could be used to to bark a very short (say 80 char)
message to the approching people. Mainly used as a greater instead of most
being forced to use a Vendor for such things. This chasis would only use the
first compartment for operation and second option instead of a compartment would
be the command to enter the message.


I havent really thought of a good use for the remaining chasis as of yet. But
Im still thinking! But I belive this would open a whole new possible revinew source
for DEs, Medcis/Doctors, and Artistans. But more inportanatly add a little bit more
StarWars to the game.

dont know how you will receive this but umm.. have you bothered to read the patch note for the upcomming publish due out on the 29th?


the new med mod that holds StimA's umm I see surgical droid.. though not the best in a fire fight.. hopefull it has some brains.


Protocl droids have you notice you really cant put anything in these.. i see the new barker mods wriotten all over these things.


the power droid is actually supposed to do what you propse anyways.


the repair droids well there is the new healing mod to reapir droids that sends outa pulse to all droids within the area.. hmm i see perfect for the LE.


now if we fould put a combat mod in a BLL or even find soe lidum on my server thats diferent.


jsut gamcing over your ideas the new mods weare getting will be prefect for these.. the protocol droid holding the enteriner mods or an R5 maybe? please dont tell me someone said i am putting everyting into a mouse and foret the other types... anyways that my two cents not trying to flame you sorry if it seems that way.

Either you misunderstood me or I wasnt clear if so Im sorry, I am aware of the upcomeing items but those are for Player controled droids that you purchase from a deed and "tame". I am refering to the Chasis part you use in the creation of the final droid. The piece that can be used for decorations inside peoples homes. Its not to say that specificly the existing chasis be used for exaple in the final build you could choose if it is for a player or a stand alone droid.

nah becuase chasis are jsutt hat chasis.. its like saying i should havea streo int eh chasis of my car but no engine. Static droids would be nice though or the Power bots the raom a city actually revharge your dorids.. (anyone notice they dont?)


dont know maybe its me jsut dont seem right. yeah it would be nice but i can see problems with it. like eople getting them instead ofteh froids. i mean throw in a sotrage unit and you got a new exploit..


it is a good idea but i can see alot of problems come from it as well.after all static droids can be carried in your inventory and they you have that probelm too.. plaus we can not retro fit droids. chasis do not copunt as droids aginst your data pad either... they count as items in your house. me i can see the way players would exploit this idea.

been sitting here ( servers down and i jsut got the covrette ticket and a group together and bang ugh damn game) and thought ok go over the psot tsome.

yes like trainers to city maintance.. and it would add what player cities are kinda missing.. tthe droids like the stativc NPC cities. but limited like trainers.

it would be not much different then making droid chasis for custmers only give us a litle more.. help advertise ourselves more. hmm watcha trendwell help somehow tend the "parks" player cities have maybe?

no mod needed really but still.. stop at stret lamps and "rapir them" or better place the new strcutre mod to maintain certain sturctures even maybe cutting the overall cost of those down slightly.

ut it does have some nice possibilites in that case.
