actually someone mentioned spacecraft building would be an elite elite class spawning from DE, but a spacecrafter wouldn't be able to build an Xwing by himself. He would need help from an elite-elite spaceship armor builder (spawning from armorsmith) and the elite-elite spaceship weapon builder (spawning from weaponsmith) with lots of help from architects and stuff.


Now, about the droids, there will probably be navigation modules you could put in any droid chassis like it is now, so R2s would only be for 'coolness', the same function would be doable by a mouse droid or a threadwell droid.


But yes, they would buy droids, think of it as the counterpart for giving CHs the mounts market.

I was hoping that current module functions would be expanded for use with the SE. I was thinking that repair modules with a manipulater arm would allow droids to repair your ship in flight. Also perhaps the data modules would hold hyperspace vectors for the smaller ships. Like an X-wing's nav' computer can only hold like 5 vectors at a time, so you could by a astromech with an advanced data module that could hold like 40 (less for the lesser modules).

It's nice to be wanted, even if it is 'Dead or Alive'

Wookies should have been CH pets.

I know that DE is FUBAR right now, but I'm thinking we may be the best profession once the space expansion comes out. What good will CH pets do in space? At least our droids can repair the ships and possibly even operate some of their systems.

I agree. The R-series Astromechs will be in great demand when ships come out. Will the devs agree? We'll have to wait and see. I hope they make us more useful and impliment our droids in the space expansion. One can only hope.

There will likely be CH pets to handle the ships controls =>P

CH will probably be able to control those HUGE space worms that swallowed the Falcon.

Unless they have the ability to board vessels, there will be no person to person combat at all. It will only be ship to ship. We could be the only class capable of living on our ships without the need to land on a planet.
