When the developers get the chance to fix or give us new things to build I hope they revamp the artwork for our items. I find the use of the control unit boxes on all but a few items a bit depressing. Even manipulator arms look like the box when they should look totally different. This request is mostly on a decorative stand point cause I know most of us work with factory crates of components. If i wish to display some of my components to make my shop look like a shop, it would be nice to have different items to display other than the control unit box.



Here is some examples of what i would like to see for our main components:




  • modivator = a small motor of some sort


  • sensor = a small sensor dish and/or photoreceptors


  • brain = the brain that you can see in a R3


  • manip arm = either a cyber arm or arm from LE


  • manip arm package = a cluster of arms like R2


Here is some examples of what the modules could look like.




  • Harvest = the manip arm package with cutting tools rather than claws


  • Detonation = something that looks like a explosive and not a data tape

These were all that I could come up with at work. If any body has any sujestions please add them below.

I think its a good idea. I'm not a Master DE yet, but I have noticed that most all the parts I can make look like little boxes(not very exciting). Would be cool to have them look like what you say,then i could leave them lay around my shop/store and make it look like a Droid Engineer shop.

Sorry...it's just my frustration coming out! With it so impossible to find good resources that I can afford (on Bria), that has been aggravating as well. I can't even stockpile resources or components until things get worked out.


I'm debating on respecing myself. Now that I've got JtL (via RotW purchase), I've been messing around with Pilot and shipwright seems kind of cool. Who knows...

I think right now the consensus is we want our droids to FUNCTION first. Looks are great and everything, but the reality is no one really cares so much about what the droid looks like if it doesn't work.

I do not think the lack of responses are intentional, Corran. I think everyone just has alot going on with the Respec and new demands for items.


I agree, I would love to see more component art - especially if we can drop those items in our shops to give it a realistic "droidworks" appearance.

I never ment to have it sound likeI wanted this done before droids got fixed/repaired. From the begining i wanted the droids fixed first then if possable get new art for items that we make.

Sorry been out of town a bit, so I havn't been my normal troll self.


Yes this would be nice. But it would be pretty low on my priority list, I don't care how stuff looks, just make it work.
