i know this has probably been mentioned a million times,
but in addition to the usual wishlist of wanting useful utility droids (not lvl10 droidekas. what about droids that can scan for resources? droids that report creatures stalking you? droids that can repair things? droids that actually heal you? droids that translate languages for you?)
i would really like to have the ability to name my droid something like "RF-77" or "R4D5". every droid in the star wars movie had a number in its name. every droid in star wars galaxies is named "timmy" or "skuzzbucket".
---
this droids topic isnt something that only effects droid engineers. it effects everyone who plays SWG. droids were an integral part to star wars, and i guess i just want you guys to know that even nonDE's like myself (a chef) are pulling for you.
good luck

agreed! I really want the ability in game too. Perhaps one reason it is not in game is because people might abuse the system with 1337 speak and make it really hard for filters!
Perhaps a workaround for it could be a number randomizer. Just as you can buy faction Stormtrooper NPCs that have random TK-### etc, perhaps each droid could have a randomized number. R2-W7 R2-T3 R2-K9 etc. Also it would keep everyone from having their astromech named R2-D2!
