1. I agree, whatever incap/death/vitality/healing rules that are applied to creature pets should be applied to droids (but you repair, not heal)
2. To increase the market for droids...why not have the jawas (who currently seem to serve no purpose) try to swipe your droid if it gets too close to them? I know jawas are only on Tatooine, but there could be similar races on other planets that did the same kind of thing.
The lower level the droid (MSE), the more likely it'll get swiped...where as an advanced droid is smarter, can avoid capture, and potentially open fire on a thieving jawa.
All in all, I think some GREAT ideas to deal with this perma-death fk up are forming on this forum, and I hope the DE correspondent, or one of the SOE trolls sees them and gets them passed along to the dev's.
Then again...2 months (almost) into the game, and CLOTHING STILL DOESN'T DECAY! So I won't hold my breath for DE perma-death fix/alternative.
(and therefore I won't be hardcore grinding out the DE skillboxes)
