Another nerf not specifically mentioned is when they removed the ability to store MISSIONS in data modules. Many people thought this was intended, but it was removed as an exploit.

The 1st 10% of the code takes 90% of the time; the remaining 90% of the code takes the remaining 90% of the time.

It was an exploit, not because it allowed you to store more data but because it allowed you to do things like stock up 10 or 11 delivery missions (such as Mos Eisley to Mos Entha), jump onto the shuttle, and get around 5000 credits for a single trip.

Don't forget that they removed Personality Chips from all droids except the few that are 'conversing'. I had so many people enjoy the commentary given by their Probot as it was fighting. And now that is gone. Not sure exactly what harm it caused?

I suspect personalities were removed to make someone's job easier again.

Since there was alot of combat-related commentary, and none of the conversant droids are combatant, we've lost alot of the chips' clearly-intended use - regardless of what whoever is currently maintaining the codebase thinks.

Personality chips were removed to bring the droids more in line with the Starwars continuity. Only human droids in that continuity speak in Basic. All other droids (the R units, the power droids, probots, etc.) speak in Binary, which is a computer language of whistles and beeps

(because Lord knows that if you are capable of maintaining a multi-starsystem spanning Empire it is easier for everyone to learn to understand some artificial language than it is to just program the droids properly)

I was thrilled the other day when my old Probot Rommel spoke just after calling him from the datapad. Sure make the game more fun when he says stuff like "How may I serve you today?"

first, before the probot nerf.... Data module exploits were removed (waypoints)

Lastly, MORE data module exploits removed (pets)

Still to come.... Absolute removal of Data modules or they will give pets and/or waypoints back to Data modules.

Don't forget the removal of personality chips from all non-humanoid droids....

Did the surgical and repair droids work at one time? if so, where would taking these droids uses away fit it?
