Droid Engineer Archive

I was just think back to when vehicles were coming out and about the debate about them and who they were built by. Back then I was supporting the creation of a new "Vehicle Engineer" proffession, that would create vehicles and vehicle parts, and then starships when they came out. (I never thought vehicles should take only metal......**edit** is that?!?Why could artisanuld have lots of subcomponents in the first place- but thats another issue). When I said that I wanted vehicle engineer, people immediately flamed me and stuff, and said that that would take a much too long of a time, but now the Devs are going to (hopefully not) create a Droid Handler proffesion. I does not seem to make that making a vehicle engineer would have taken that long, just take the schematics for the vehicles as they are now, add in some modules, maybe some armor or weapons....maybe a new model or two, and the base skill tree. Doesn't seem that it would take that long to do, or maybe Im just crazy....

Anyways it seems that It could have a least as much content as droids do now( not that droids have much content anways. But if Droid engineer could be a proffesion andhave that why couldnt VE(vehicle enginner). IMO....I think it is just laziness on the DEV's part.(Also to lazy to make sub's for vehicles, i mean come on they could just put in aGP module or EMM or control unit or something). But I think they would have a solid selling base. Those vehicles, only to be built by VE could make a lot of money.

Look I amNOT trying to start a huge discussion, I just want to know why the idea I supported was shot down by my fellow playing mates so thoughrally. A simple answer will suffice so long as it tells me WHY. No need to dwell on the past. Well Ill prolly just get flamed for interrupting the whole Combat droids thing, in which I will not say one word, or something else. Whatever.

Thanks in advance

They only spec'd out 3 vehicles. No modules for em. Not even different colors. Why create a whole new profession for 3 vehicles? Oh, here's a thought...maybe they could have laid the groundwork for a profession and put the first (and only) 3 vehicles into the Novice slot. Then, (if) when they add more vehicles or starships, they could have put schematics in as they go to expand out the profession.

Nah, would never work. The simple answer is they have too many problems to create more work for themselves. Hence, copy and paste CH changing Creature to Droid is faster than balancing a cert system or fixing the 100+1 bugs of DE's or revamping the profession to add in a new skill tree or balancing lower level combat droids across all players or...t h e - l i s t - g o e s - o n.
