This is a polite questions. DEs need a market for droids, and Squad Leaders need more of a purpose. Can we put the two together? Would it make sense, to you, to have Squad Leaders able to command multiple combat droids? This way, put more of a squad in Squad Leader, and create a market for attack droids. Add in Droid Maintenance Kits (stims), and you also have a continuing market. If the combat droids cost about the same as weapons, and wear out as fast as weapons, that would also help keep demand up.

Does that sound practical to you?

I haven't heard this idea floated, so I thought that I would float this. (Excuse me if this has already been suggested and flogged to death.)

Would it make sense to give Squad Leaders the ability to command multiple battle droids, should they be implemented? Would it be acceptable if they wore out, along the lines that current weapons wear out? How would this be certed in your tree? Is this an acceptable extension of your mission?

Thanks.

na squad leaders are already pretty good they just need a little fix up on the skills. my guild leader is a squad leader and those buffs are already pretty darn sweet, if you give them abilities to command multiple droids it will just be another solo class all over again and nerf crying like all hell. squad leaders are meant to be in groups anyways. droid repair kits were already in the game but it never worked so the devs took it out completely sometime last patch. funny thing is on the up coming de notes somebody said droid repair kit will be a new feature to heal your droids rofl. they sure like to kid alot those devs.

Thanks. I now know a little more.

I think this would be cool. I think MDEs should have a choice between Droideka Adv and three Battle Roger Roger Droids. It would be awesome to see a squad leader running into battle with three Battle Droids. I don't know what the scoop is on the balance of that class though as mentioned above. But the idea seems right.

Why? Dreaming seems so much more "real".

Thank you for your input but I'd rather give this ability to Droid Engineers than to Squad-Leaders: A Squad-Leader after all doesn't lead machines and it somewhat contradicts the purpose of a Squad-Leader as a social being that supports other players... Personally I don't like any ability that enables my as a Squad-Leader to solo (as opposed to the other profession I dabble in: Commando, which I skills I use on weekdays when it is difficult for me to get a group together).
