Thread: Droidekas sound cool, but...
I don't think any battle oriented droids should be added until some expansion or whatnot that actually adds new professions. I think any sort of battle droid system would require a branch for the deeds, branch for weapons, branch for armor, and a branch for experimentation/customization. It looks like nothing in the existing DE profession is designed for fighting as is, even the probot should be used for scouting rather than fighting (thus the BH charges and the relatively weak offense).
I'd love to make droidekas and battle droids, but i just think there's too much involved in makeing a weak battle droid versus a strong battle droid to simply add it to the DE capabilities as they exist now, and rearranging the existing structure would really mess up any DE in the process of leveling their skills.
Debate away (I hope this thread is original enough to warrent it). I'd like to hear input on this view.
