Great Fanfilm, takes a while to load
Watched this Fanfilm. Very well done. Top notch. BUT, I saw some disturbing things in it.
Such as working Battle Droids, working Super Battle Droids, and working droidikas. All three already have working model in-game. Just wondering why we can't build them. I know this sounds like I'm whining, but really, if it's all there, why no droids for us? I'm not asking for them now because the much waited for "Bug fix" publishes are coming, but after that?
On a side note, should we put up a "Battle Droid" thread outlining what we want in, well, Battle Droids, SBD, and droidikas??

One of the big reasons we don't have them right now is no one's been able to figure out who could use them. The original plan was to create a droid commander profession that could use them, that got down for various reasons (probably a good thing it did since we really didn't need yet another profession at the time). Then the DE community tried to come up with some kind of cert system, that was shot down by the devs though. Came up with a plan to add droids to the CH's army of pets, that didn't fly with them though. Tried the idea of making SL's into droid commanders, that had an even worse response...

I dont know that this issue will ever be satifactorily resolved. Droids, by there very nayture and the purpose of their existence, are designed to make thing easier for people. They do work for us, they save lives by fighting for us, etc... But the Devs cant let the game get too easy through the use of droids. So, in reality, it seems like Droids and SWG should not match up very well. I think the only way to resolve this issue is to make it so droids can not do more than a couple things. Instead of getting a droid with 6 potential skills, the DE picks up to 2 things the droid can do, and that it. As long as Droids have the potential to make the game so much easier, we will be stuck wanting more....
