I posted this originally in the BH forums, thought You guys might get a kick out of this ....
From the books, the trade federation developed whats called "JEDI KILLER " droids. Give the Droid engineers there shining moment in the starwars galaxies , and let the BH's go after jedi with JK's. Jedi would hate it , but it would be a funny thing to watch.
Do I go after the droid or the BH first???????????????????????

That would be more content intensive than the bomb droids. But jedi have enough problems with bomb droids I think.

If it's anything I've learned over the past year and a half that Jedi have been around it is that anything that makes Jedi "less uber" compared to other players....will make it get nerfed. I'm working my way through the thread on Last Ditch now, and I have to say that I'm quite sadened.

You definitly dont want to read a "Cestus decption" then. Thats where obi-wan and kit-fisto-(my favorite light jedi after that book) take out quite a few droids (.............. One of the main characters ,btw , is an ARC commando who gets taught some jedi hand to hand tricks, Then he visits a very inetersting place and discovers ................... well you better read it.
Lets just say this stormy is a rare breed......

I'm well aware of that fact. It's called a Bug. Big difference between a Bug and a Nerf.

So its notreally more content for droid engineer, just a 'round the houses' way to make BH's more powerful..........

Also, the last time we did a poll across profession forums, no profession took us up on controlling profession specific droids:
SL turned us down
BH turned us down
CH turned us down
Ranger turned us down
Every one of them gave us the exact same answer: "We want our own unique abilities to work and not be dependant on Droid support."
I think our last hope is to have a inverse relationship between appropriate "Droid Level" (DL) and "Combat Level" (CL). What I mean by is; all of those people that are CL1 get to have a DL ~65 combat droid. As you increase your combat level, your ability to control a high level combat droid decreases. If we're even luckier (HA! yea right), we might even see remote contol abilities for these droids as well. Personally, I think this would solve the 2 most highly demanded things from droids: 1) High level combat droidsand 2) Playable droid characters.
This would be a LOT of work, and a even bigger question is: would you give up your professsion specific fixes in order to have this implemented?

Im all in favor of having a more crafter intensive BH role. It all depends on who you ask, the problem is that sometimes crafters get a little to prowd of their wares, and a JK-13 I could see selling for a few million. Although it wouldnt be worth more than 500k or so. Hypothetically of course.
I like posting on top of you cause im more important

As a DE, and a Jedi, I can really identify with all sides.
Let's look at bomb droids for example. As a DE, I make the biggest boom droids around, they are my best money maker. Now they are broken, so them oney is not coming in.
As a Jedi, I am glad they are broken. Why? Because they are super easily exploited. I have no problem with a one droid and a surprise sneak attack, those are tools a good BH should use. Here is what makes bomb droids unbalanced. Paralyze and Stasis. Get a CM or a Jedi to "freeze" a jedi, for 40 seconds they can't heal, attack move or do anything. During that time, you have other people bring in 2 or 3 bomb droids. They all go off and you have an instant incap.
Now the Jedi is down 500k xp.
Not a lot of fun, if there was a way to avoid it, it wouldnt be bad, but there is no way out. It is an instant "I Win" button.
As a DE, I miss the money though.
