Droid Engineer Archive

I'm curious to see if anything has been discussed or talked about by the powers that be regarding the following issues:

1. DEs reliance on sub-components, specifically MA components. The DE profession is the worst for sub-components. For an advanced R3, up to 49 components to make it (Adv R3, 2 lvl 6 armour, repair, lvl 6 data, lvl 6 med, lvl 6 storage, 2 crafting stations). Of those 49 components, 26 of them are MA components and it requires at least three seperate factory runs. A large house is easier to make.


2. Droid customization kits. Please, please, please make these usable by everyone. Use the same concept behind vehicle customization kits.


3. Battery life. This needs to be increased. There is no ifs, buts or maybes. As it is now, it's too much of a hinderance. Possibilities are to increase the complexity of batteries so they need more resources but give them a longer life, or add a special DE making only battery that allows for longer life. While you're at it, add a power metre so I know how juiced up my droid is. Power droids should not need batteries... ever.


4. Droid Armour: Lvl 5 and 6 modules are pretty much useless. This was a temporary fix put in a while back. It's time to realize it's temporary and actually do something with it.


5. Useless skills in the game for DEs. Right now there are two useless skills for DEs: Droid Customization and Droid Complexity. Give us a reason to have the skill tapes for both of them.


6. Busted personality chips: These have been around for a while... remove them or fix them. It's not hard. The rest work, why can't these?
