Thread: Maybe the devs reasoning behind power droids?

They don't want to cut down on the battery market too much. If you think about it, everyone would be buying power droids so they don't need to recharge. However I still find the fact that they need recharging stupid so I have 2 suggestions that could be used if power droids can require no batteries. (Either/or, not both.)


1. Do not give Power droids the ability to have modules. (No one buys a droid they can't use but the power droid would function as intended.)


2. Make Power droids require a high level of DE to use. (Mind you we shouldn't need to be a genious to work one but it would stop dabblers from climbing the tree just for a droid that is useable without batteries.)


Any other ideas?

I very much doubt that's it. I'm fairly sure the miserable state of our droids is due to neglect, not design.

Power droids were this way before there WAS a battery market. Remember, up until a couple of months ago, all you ever needed to do was store and call your droid to fully recharge it's battery.
