Droid Engineer Archive

I was reading that there may be some new droids / better combat droids coming after JTL.

Is this a rumor, or is there some fleeting glimps of hope of craftingthe Droideka I always wanted since Novice Artisan?

I am yet to find any use for my DE toolbelt (Bandolier?W T FI WANT TO WEAR MY BACKPACK!)

I was hoping that JTL would add some use for experimentation and make DE fun to craft with...

Honestly, I found crafting stims where you could customize power, charges, ease of use, etc more fun with experimentation.

Would love to have combat modules have the some customizations such as speed, min/max dmg.

Given the current implementation of droids in this game, I highly doubt anything is ever going to change.

Would love to see armor modules customizable sorta like armorsmithing where you can add layers for specific protection.

Again given the current implementation, Ain't gonna happen.

How about modules actually affecting traits of the droid like movement, attack range, power consumption, etc

(see above)

I haven't seen the source code for SWG, but in my experience as a programmer

Ifeel that they dug themselves in a hole with the module and module rating affecting the droids.

When will droids be usefull to higher level people?

Only thing that really sells is medical droids because medics need them for buffing outside medcenter at coronet....

Actually sold a BLL med droid (110 med module, 10 item module, food/chem craft module) for 75k and a crate of 25 batts for 25k

Combat droids are pathetic

Harvester droids aren't all that great

Stimpack / Scout trap dispenser: Ok these just suck.

Crafting Modules: useful but id rather use my high rating crafting stations

Item Modules: Useful no real complaints here.

Data Modules: Im gettin sick of people asking ifthey can store waypoints on these....

JTL Droids: Don't get me started with these

I don't bother making combat droids anymore, they are worthless to higher level people.

Tested the (near) bestprobot you could make against a nightsister elder

back in the day when i was a TKM. (ya i know i can't take out a NS elder with kinetic)

My swoop lasted longer than the probot....

I pretty much gave out like 10 of these to friends in my guild, lower level people, they loved them

(what about higher level peepz....)

Apparently, Ihave inspired many people to become DE,

I'll feel bad for these people when they get to master DE and realize how pointless it was to work on.

I tell everyone to take up a different profession simply because DE is kinda boring and needs fixing.

I mean:

Architect: make lots of cool furniture decorate houses make cities

Weaponsmith: work on making that uber weapon and gettin some cool loot schematics

Armorsmith: 90% comp anyone? Gettin Krayte armor segments.....

Chef: Brandy anyone?

Tailor: Not a big fan of the profession but fun none the less to make sets of clothes, not to mention some nice loot/quest schematics

Droid Engineer: I had more fun designing my shop with droids as decorations than actually making the droids....

(Come visit my shop in ROME on Bria server, you will be amazed :robottongue

At this point im a multi-millionaire and bored to all hell so I helped found the player cityROME on Bria.

jtl was never meant to be any improvement for de prof. plus fact de can make some bits for ships and droids for ships that no ones going to have already.

Because of the pending JTL, my factories are working overtime in order to create related stock. I had to drop another factory just to keep on schedule.
