Droid Engineer Archive

This is my first post here, so I'd like to say hello to everyone. I wanted, but didn't, go DE because of the state the profession is in.

I have noticed a lot of bickering regarding vehicles. Should DE's build vehicles? I say, why not, but change the droid engineer profession accordingly. Become mechanics, with skill branches suiting all

I spent 10 minutes putting this example skill tree together. I have not put a lot of thought in to this, but have a look, and tell me what you think.

I don't have permission to use HTML, so no fancy table :/

The skill tree

The first "design boxes" could contain things like color, where the second contains a bunch of decals to add to your droid or vehicle. And in the Vehicle accessories box, you could add a module for glove compartment and/or trunk. The vehicle branch can evolve tothe elite-elite profession of Spaceship Engineer, and the droid branch to Battle Droid Engineer and Social Droid Engineer (for roaming Vendors or something, I don't know)...

Hope you like this idea.

Argh! The link didn't work! So here it is, in plain text for copy and paste:

Well, introdusing elite-elite professions ranging from an elite Mechanic profession is going to eat alot of Skill points, I'de rather see an elite profession starting at master artisan that handles Spaceships/Vehicles.

Well the problem with that is that you again make Master Artisan nearly worthless. They specifically placed vehicles there to give it greater weight amongst the professions, so removing it would be counter productive I'd think. I'm not sure what to expect with the SE, but I do know the artisan correspondant stated the devs don't plan on doing much with the artisan profession for quite some time now...
