Droid Engineers need Usage XP when people use their droids!

I recently saw quite a few posts on the dev tracker forum about how Bio Engineer (BE) usage xp was being given even when BE's used items they crafted themselves (as opposed to other people using their items, the way it is supposed to work). This thread brought back to my attention the fact that DE's get no usage XP for when people use their droids. There are many droid issues, some more important, but I would put this in the top 10 current issues.

This unimplemented feature has been discussed before. Here are some of my ideas for how to do it. Please post yours as well. (The last idea I heard about this from Holo was something to the effect of "when someone programs your droid you get XP". I don't think that is the best idea, so let's provide alternatives to them again).

DE's should get usage xp when:

1. Someone calls their droid for the first time and programs it.

2. Someone uses a crafting module in their droid to craft stuff.

3. Someone fights with their droid.

4. Someone uses the medical ability in their droid

5. Someone stores an item or data for the first time in their droid

6. Someone repairs another droid with their droid (which of course must have a repair module)

7. Someone recharges another droid with their droid (probably a rare occurrence)

8. A bounty hunter uses their droid (seekers and probes)

Got other ideas? Please post them! Let's keep our professions issues in the Devs minds.

Peace,
