Droid Engineer Archive

If they are to be introduced, we want them widespread. We want a BIG market. We want to see droid EVERYWHERE.

I swear if I read one more post with someone complaining that 'greedy DEs' want combat droids all to themselves I'm gonna pop my cork.

Agreed. I don't think DE's should keep Droids to themselves. I think they should keep the AT ATs to themselves.

Well Said Master Rho !!

- WS cannot handle automatically his own weapons
- BE cannot handle his own Creatures


Why in the hell .. should a DE able to handle all his own Droids ?

I like the Droid Handler idea .. and i like the Droid Certsystem , too.

But Neither give these Combat-Droids only the DE profession Nor give it to all.


Please move most of the needed Droid-Component-Schematics from Master-Artisan to the DE, so we have more skillpoints for whatever comes.

Weapons require skills to use. The ability to steady the hand and account for recoil. That is why WS can't use them well without training.

BEs can make pets, but since they are living creatures with a mind of thier own they are likely to bite his arm off.

Droids are not living creatures and are made to do what we tell them. If you can talk you are able to use one.

It's a stupid idea with no imagination because they can't seem to grasp the cert system...

WS can use their (please don't be sexist) own weapons.
BE isn't based off of the Artisan tree.
AS, Tailor, Chef, Archs all can use their own stuff as well.

Yes Droids are an AI (Artificial Intelligence) but they work on a set commands/parameters. They can not work out side those rules. Unless they malfunction. So why as Droid Engineers can we notcontrol them, since is it not us that program those set commands/parameters? Why do we have to have a separate set of training to be able tocontrol larger droids. Yes they are bigger but are they not just larger versions of the same things we already control, this is were a cert system could be used just like weapons.

By this whole Droid Handler profession you are saying that as Droid Engineers we SHOULD not have any control of ANY droids we create period. Then why have so many of us spent points and time becoming droid engineers just to build them to sell with out ususing them. It is like saying an armorsmith can not use his armor because he can only make it and not wear it...or a tailor can not wear their cloths because they just make them they do not need to wear them. We are crafters just like armorsmiths, tailors, chefs and architechs we can use what we craft. I did not include weaponsmiths because those require more skill to use then a shirt, bofa treat, house, or R2 unit. Then on the same note we can not use mounts or speeders because we do not know how, but we do.

I guess we are playing Starwars that has not had any droidsand tech for many many years. This is bumpkis because droids and techare the bread and butter of Starwars.

(ok enough of my personal views)

Just my 100 creds.

With all due respect to those who don't get it yet, we DON'T want your droids if that means we have to give up something of ourselves.

There are already WAY too many calls to nerf every other combat class as it is! We have enough problems without you unloading more onto us! Need it spelled out? KEEP YOUR DROIDS. It's just that simple. A droid handler class will give you a market for new and interesting models, and sounds like a solution. Droid certs pokes around with classes that can't afford to be tweaked anymore, and doesn't solve a thing.
