I've been thinking the same thing...

Some chassis get bonuses for certain modules (e.g., Medical in Surgical Droids, Repair in LE Droids), some get penalties (e.g., Medical in a BLL...)

Couple that with Max module ratings for certain chassis (e.g., Nothing higher than Level 3 in a MSE droid).

I posted this very idea a while ago in some other thread. I can't remember where or when

You should check out the threads by TheRealTK421 called Focus Threads. I believe Sintrosi made links for them in the DE Player Ideas sticky at the top. Focus #2 is regarding chassis. I know I put in a long post to that one, but honestly can't remember if that is where I put in this idea. If I didn't I meant to

Just a thought, wanted to get the community's impression and this may have already been said before but here goes. The developers want a basic "Swiss Army Knife" system for droids yet we have these very specific chassis types which really mean nothing. Well a REAL simple fix to promoting certain modules into certain droids could go as follows

Every module could have a base stat, and certain chassis's could have bonus's to those stats should that module be used. Example:

Surgical = +2 to medical modules, LE Repair = +2 to repair, R2 = +2 to Crafting Experimentation, BLL = +5 to itemstorage, etc.

Very simple thing to implement and would promote people wanting specific chassis's for specific needs while not enforcing it completely.
