Droid Engineer Archive

Greetings all

Im not yet a DE but hope to be at some point. I know this Profession needs to be improved and fixed but still I see it as a interesting and fun class to play.

Here are a few ideas for you all

Multi-Control-Chip & New Battle Droid

This idea would enable the DE or other profession's to control and use more than one droid at a time but only with certain types of droid.

Firstly the DE would have to make a Multi Control Unit, which would be complex and possibly expensive to make and of course decay, these would allow people to control and use 2-3 droids at any one time for certain droid types.Only one of these could be used/activated by any one person, and would be hand held.

Example Droid Type:

Light Humanoid Battle Droid(Some thing like the Trade Federation Battle Droids as in Phantom Menace). These would be lightly armoured and easly destroyed but by using the multi control unit would gain the advantage of numbers.The droid its self would be cheap and easy to make.

This idea could be expanded upon by making larger Multi Control Units which are static and perhaps the same size as the large harvesters or factorys. These could be set-up around player made buildings or player cities and would allow the area/cities to have a number of automated droid defenders on patrol ie 4-5 light battle droids, a few draw backs could be if the unit was destroyed all the droids would be disabled but not dead, another point to make would be the unit would have a control range and only one unti could be used with in the area. Part of the units could be made by Architects and Part of it by DE.

Weapon Chips for Humanoid style battle droids

These would allow humanoid style droids to use different weapon types or perhaps use the player made weapons.

Firstly a DE would make a chip for the droid which would be ether fiited while making the droid or after its made but if a none DE got hold of one it would have to be given to a DE to fit. The chip its self would basicly give the droid the skill to use the weapon and only one could be added at a time.The weapons them selfs could be the same ones players use or different droid ones all made by a Weapon Smith.
