As a weaponsmith, I probably get 20 /tells a day from people asking me to repair their weapons. If I don't have anything pressing going on, it's no problem. But when I only have a short amount of time to play or am doing quests or whatever just for fun, getting all these /tells gets very annoying.

I'd like to see DE's be able to build a droid or possibly a terminal that weaponsmiths or armorsmiths could put in their houses that would stay there even when they were logged out. If anyone needed a weapon repaired, they went to the shop and the droid could repair it for them.

Droids are supposed to help people with menial tasks, and repairs is definately one of them. Plus, from a merchants point of view, it would drive people to our stores where they would have the opportunity to check out what we have.

In order to not push Artisan's out of business, the repair droid should require recharging it with repair kits every so often.

Not just a nice idea but an outstanding idea. Could make it like a vendor but you can only place one at a time. Would expect it at Master level.

I like the idea of a repair station. It should also have an input hopper where you can drop in crates of weapon repair tools. This will allow artisans to still sell weapon repair tools since the machine will still require them for each weapon repair. It should also have an effectiveness like a crafting station allowing Architects to experiment on them.

Themenuwould needa box to set the price for repair. The user should just use a "Repair" option from the radial that would pop up the window we currently get to select a weapon when we use a repair tool. This window could also display the price of a repair.

i would like it to check who the weapon was built by (once they reflect the person who created the schematic) and repair those for free and then charge a flat fee for all others, i think that would be nice if it were possible, if not then just a flat fee to repair would be great.

I'm Monroe Thanes and I approve of this message.

Well when you see some of the nonsensical ideas the Devs have come up with for new droid types (check stickies in DE forum) this is actually a wonderful idea s it is something that could be actually desirable and usable but without taking anyone out of the loop. Like 99% of great ideas though it'll never even be seen by a Dev and the BS ideas will make it to live...

Dev' Eloper uses Combat Balance Reschedule on you for 6-8 months worth of damage points!
You shoot your mouth off on the forums but miss! You post constructively but it is deleted!
Ubercred It'Duper tips you Cr 27,000,000,000,000,000,000 but you evade it!
Dev' Eloper uses Publish 10 Vendor Fix on you for 55 item limit damage! Your vendors and 12 months of work have become incapacitated!
You use Cancel Account Button on Dev' Eloper for $15 p/m of damage!
Dev' Eloper tries to use JTL Expansion pack on you for $50 worth of damage on you but misses!
You use windows sys32 fdsk utility on StarWars Galaxies program files for 2.4Gb of damage! StarWars Galaxies: An Empire Developed is no more!!

That would be awesome. I am not a weaponsmith. But when I need a weapon repaired I hate having to ask one of the Master Weaponsmiths I know. I know they bust their buts trying to make all the weapons to keep their vendors stocked, Not to mention hunting for the best resources, ect.....and still have a little time for some other activities in game.

So to be able to go to their shop and use thier Weapon Repair Droid service would be awesome. I hope the Dev's see this and make it happen.

Very interesting, but since it includes doing the 2 things the Dev's don't want to do for us:

Adding functionality

Adding new graphics

It's not going to happen.

Sorry, come back in 3 years.

Sad but true

Though it IS a nice idea.

I like this idea sounds like it wouldn't take much to implement, kinda like merging vehicle garageswithweapon/armor repair kits.

It doesn't have to require new graphics.

There's no reason they couldnt use an existing model. Even an astromech could do it with the right module.

And as far as an interface goes, players could just pull up a radial menu on the repair droid that had the option "Repair Weapon" and use the same interface any player uses with a repair kit. As long as the droid is charged up on repair kits, he's all set.

Nothing new need be added unless they wanted to make it possible for the droid owner to collect a fee.

that would be useful and great addition to the game.... its forbidden to allow the DEs to do anything useful in this game... so it wont ever happen....
