Yeah, I didn't think so...



Was just a bit hopeful, that since the Nerf'd the Probot. they would finally do something Nice for you DE's.



Vehicals are a Money sink for sure, they decay pretty fast. I was just hoping to buy a Repair Driod for the "adventure" planets, where there are no Garages to fix them at.. Dathomir, Yavin4, Endor, Lok...

I would REALLY like if they gave us this option.


At least then your droid would be doing something droids actually DO in the Star Wars universe.


Perhaps they could still charge you for it, but at least give you the option of doing it away from a garage. They could say the repair droid had to buy replacement parts or something andthey'd still getyour credits that way.

I suppose we could add it to the wishlist... but don't count on it happening since it looks like the garages are money sinks for the economy.

I have a question for the DE community.. Can your Repair Droids repair Vehicals?


I have a feeling the Answer is no. Though in the Movies, and books. R2 was fixing anything and everything.


If they don't, Would be something for you guys to throw at the Devs.




Hopefully they Fix you guys soon.

I highly doubt the devs are going to give up thier new money sink anytime soon.

I could live with that solution.

They could do this and still have a money sink...


Simply make it so that any droid with a Repair module installed functions as a Garage. The money still just "goes away" though, and the Droid owner wouldhave to rely on tips (possibly also with a /denyService command like entertainers have) to make money. Or take it a step further and require the Droid owner to issue a /grantService command to the Vehicle owner before the Vehicle can be repaired.


As a minimum it would increase demand for Droids that contain Repair modules.
