Thread: Ode to Droid Engineers
That's so depressingly true... and yet it's beautiful at the same time. *sigh*
I find that life as a DE is quite like life on Rori (where I decided to start). I love it and hate it all at the same time.

Well, I haven't seen very many on my server on Rori. In fact, I only know one other droid engineer, and I think he may have given up. I'm hoping that I'll be able to corner the small market that is Rori. Besides, it's cool to know that when you see someone running around with a droid, that you made it. =)
Anyway, if you are on Kauri Galaxy and are thinking of being a droid engineer on Rori; DON'T! It's my market! Stay away! LOL. Just kidding, the more the merrier, as long as it's not too many. Being a DE is so lonely sometimes, especially on Rori.

Well Im on Kauri too and from Rori. I finally got sick of flying from Rori to Naboo to Corellia to buy Extrusive ore so I moved to corellia at great expense and set up shop. Wouldn't you believe the next day Corellia loses all extrusive ore and its on Rori now? Just cant win.

I bet I could make a killing moving around and harvesting nothing but extrusive ore... then go to planets that don't have it, set it up on the bazaar, and watch the cash flow in... Maybe I'll try this someday if I ever get tired of grinding further up the DE skills trees to get more useless/broken/nerfed stuff. Bleh, blah, and BLECH!

DE's we are
and not to proud
we sell what we can
to any crowd
business there is
but not like we thought
droids do almost nothing
and still they are bought
a few help the crafters
one helps to fight
remember the movies?
this doesnt seem right
we hope in SOE
to make DE work
but know as a player
we are getting the jerk
its early yet
for a game such as this
so time i will give it
before i go a miss
but in the mean time
DE's are all glum
we onlky make5 real droids (med, craft, and probot, repair and power)
and they are all dumb ![]()
my ode to DE
Who sold a droid to a bandolier
But the droid, it broke
In battle, did choke
Sonow our hero mustdissapear
I think that I shall never see,
A useful droid from a D.E.
A droid with modules working as intended,
A surgical droid that to our wounds has tended.
A droid that holds its own in war,
That makes skilling up less of a chore.
A droid that, when we experimented,
Improvements then we will have lent it.
Within whose frame modules lay;
Who serves a purpose as we play.
Droids are made by fools like me,
But only Sony can fix D.E.
(special thanks to Alfred Joyce Kilmer and his poem "Trees")
There once was a Twi'Lek D.E.
Who started selling droids for free
When asked 'bout the price,
He shook his head twice,
I can't charge for this crap from Sony.
