When i think about Bodyguard droids i mean droids for helping surveyors and not combat chars. The best way to prevent a combat char to abuse this droid would be to base the damage absorbed not on the damage dealt but on the number of shots fired.1 Shot from a high level MOB incaps every low level crafter, a high level combat char only has problems after like 10+ shots.
Thats why i would suggest the implementation of a new consumable, the personal shield droid (aka PSD ). It would be a small ball-like droid that floats a few cm above your head (like the training droid in ANH, or the droid from KotoR 2). In combat situations it could fly in the line of fire and stop a few shots. Every few shots the droid has no power left and needs to recharge (no longer stops shots for a certain time) .
From the crafter aspect it should have high uses (10+ ) and take a medium amount of resources (steel, fiberplast, ore,a droid brain and a armor mod). It could be experiemented on: Duration (how long can you use it), durability (how many shots it cantake without recharging), recharge rate (how fast it recharges)and uses.
Things to consider:
- recharge with batteries for lesser down time?
- effect on PvP
Opinions? Suggestions?

If they would just allow combat droids to maintain a hi level of aggro...this wouldnt be a problem. Of course, the Devs at that point would make Droids decay....TO MAKE IT FAIR.

Do you mean that they should create much aggro (and be defeated in no time, even if they manage to keep up with you) or should they be able to tank more? (not much use for a surveyor in my eyes)
