Thread: Why no loot components for Droid Engineers ?

Ive often wondered why we DE's dont have any loot components to enhance our droids. Why is it that weaponsmiths get goraz bones, krayt tissues, and tons of geonosian stuff and we get nothing ? Why is it Armorsmiths get a quest (ris), krayts scales, armor layors from NS, geo cubes, etc. and again DE's get nada ?


I personally would love to see something done with this along with jawa fortress. The jawas are supposed to be great scavagers of droids and parts. Why not have some sorta quest there (like ris for armorsmiths) that allows us to unlock a certification to a special droid ? And simply adding some loot parts that enhance our droids would really liven up the profession.


These dont seem like unreasonable requests and I would guess 1-2 small publishes could implement all of it.

i would rather have componets that we could build to put into moduals to give them something special Kinda like Shipwrights. like special blaster barels for combat modules that would give droids a elemental damage bonus, or a high speed transaxle for modivaters to increse droid movement, etc

My question to you is this:


What kind of loot would we get?


Loot for ourCombat Droids to make them stronger? or Programs for our R-types that are unavailable otherwise?


A novel idea, but I would like to know more info before I placed my vote in. I think that the reason WS's and AS's get all the loot is because Combat is such a huge part of this game. It's the underlying structure in my opinion. Every crafter does something to help the Combat User. This is why they get all the "ubber" loot.

Droids are heavily underrated in this game, and particularly now after the combat revamp - if you group with your level 30 combat droid it can make mincemeat of anything your level!!! (granted it takes longer because it has lower dps)



adding loot parts to make droids do more damage, make them attack faster, perhaps loot comps to give droids special attacks (rooting or states for example)



adding loot would make droids much more viable (even though they ARE viable now - just not a lot of people seem to realise this)

I am in agreeance with Sur-Jamkar on this one. look at smugglers now they had all there tools repaced with loot components that are not stackable, crafters in general have a hard time with invintory can you imagine if we had to stock non stackable loot components just to be compeditive.


like i posted above if we were to get the ability to put additional component into a item to boost a stat in it, I would like the component to be a item that we could build ourselves rather than loot. here is a expanded list of module subcomponents:



  1. combat module


    • combat retical = increases acurecy in droid

    • power regulator = reduces damage but increses ROF

    • overcharger = increses damage butreduces ROF

    • enhanced barrel = adds elemental damage bonus

  2. Motive System


    • high speed actuaters = increases droid speed

  3. sensors


    • radar dish =grants a limited ranger search abilityand incresed tracking to rangers

    • covert scanner = like a covert scanner but mobile and shorter range (must remain staionary, usable only when SF)

these are just a few ideas i can expand it later if anyone wants me to.
