How does adding DE-only combat droids help?

You sill don't have a market... DEs are not going to make their spiffy new combat droids and sell them to other DEs...

Duh, Devs... DUH!!!

Oh, I dunno. I'd buy an exploding mouse droid or two. They'd be a novelty about as long as fireworks was.

Heh, I would produce them by the factory crate.. I love that idea, its friggin awsome

But you wouldn't be able to use them...

Only DE's would be able to use them...

What's the problem with having a CH-like system where there are droid difficulty ratings (not just for combat, by the way) that range from 1 - 35 like CH? Most droids should fall in the 1-16 range. For instance, maybe the pre-nerf probot could be about a 13 or a 14? The current probot would have to be an 8 or 9. Anyway, Droidekas would be a DL30+ (is there anything stronger in the contiuity of the SW universe?) and the IG-88 would be DL30+

Your ability to handle such droids would increase as you train in the DE tree. Novice DE would jump from DL16 to DL20 or something like that, and ever skill after that affects your ability to handle droids, including the number you can have out.

If you do something like this and be careful to put many desirable droids in the non-DE levels, the mareket would be just fine and there would still be a non-cash incentive to be a Master DE.
