Droid Engineer Archive

I think droid engineers are the least appreciated most star wars profession in the game. Droids were everywhere in the movie and they did a multitude of things, yet in the game droids are relegated to holding items for their masters, repairing each other, and allowing someone to heal or craft elsewhere...probots really aren't all that combat effective.

Why not allow droid engineers to make droids that actually do something for their owners.

I'm not talking about a droid handler profession, I'm talking about increasing the versatility of droids made.

There were droid entertainers in the movies, why not have a droid that can play music to heal mind wounds?

At the moment there is no profession that has bonuses to repairing armor, weapons or clothing...why not have droids that can repair items? I'd rather have a manufacturing droid fix my weapons than sit down and try to do it myself...personally I don't trust my character's mechanical skills.

Tracker droids that can track more than bounty hunter missions. As a creature handler I'd love to have a droid that could go out and find rare animals for me.

A surveyor droid...surveying sucks and it's not terribly difficult work. Build a droid that can be given a range to search in, and it immediately goes to the location of highest concentration to extract a sample for you.

Mobile factory droids, the droids in the movies could make simple items. How about a droid that can make simple food items or other small things for you if given the proper materials.

These are just a few ideas I had for making droids worth something beyond combat.
