Do you foresee much demand for these things? IMHO they seem like such a dumb idea I can't believe anyone even thought them up much less approved company time to create them. Then again maybe I'm missing something. I tried to find a description of these things, but I can no longer find them in the patch notes. As I understand it they are supposed to detect covert detectors? I don't know, I've seen like 2 or maybe three covert detectors in the last 3 months. Hopefully the devs shot these things down so that they could spend some time fixing the Imp hat.

Eh, I'll probably make a few just to see if the sell. Unfortunately I see a big griefing potential.

I think they're also supposed to either take out or jam the covert detector. This could be useful for scouting out bases before an attack or geting around bases that are located in an area you want access to (I know there were some right at the mouth of the krayt graveyard on Tarquinas).

seems the only use for them would be in base raids, and there's no point raiding without being overt. Maybe its to help people use base exploits for resets. Im really not sure the tactical vlaue of this. I mean best case you can get a group of coverts through a minefield. Maybe this is their solution to people griefing merchant tents with minefields. Though, i could of sworn that problem came up after the droid was put in the patch notes.
