and putting up with all the s... stuff that is thrown at you to get us these great modules (upcoming publish 8). And thank the devs for us too.
Anyone looking over the boards for utility ideas for the past few months (not the combat bits unfortunately *sigh*) should recognise a LOT of the modules going into testing. And a few of them are stuff that ppl have said 'no way they're going to do that coz this and that profession will start screaming' but it looks like they have - and with the prerequisites that we suggested (profession checkers).

Thanks TK for working through this with us....
DE's,
I just wanted to drop in and say hi, and explain a bit about the last month and a half. It has been a very busy time for us internally. We had employee reviews which takes full-on three to four weeks. We have had Lucas marketing in talking about Space. We have been furiously developing on your second patch. I apologize for my absence from your boards during this time, but I have been lurking. And TK has been absolutely fantastic in making your wants and desires known to us. Hopefully this next publish will tide you guys over for awhile. I know there is alot of talk about combat droids... and how/ why/ when they make it into the game... but there is another very important market coming up for your group. Can't say alot about it right now, but remember who rode shotgun with Luke in his X-Wing...
best,
- g

YES I was wondering if they were going to put the astromechs to the right use with the space expansion . Just didn't seem right to see x-wings zooming about with out their little droid copilots.

JustG, TK,
The DE community has been, to quote a recent phrase, "running around with it's hair on fire" with regard to recent developments, and
the state of our profession. I must say that we have been very hard on the DEVs and on TK and a lot of this has come from a general
frustration built up over many months. Waking up this morning and reading over the patch notes, and over the responces
from the DEVs on our boards has given me new hope for the profession, and for the future of the game. I'd like to thank everyone
involved for what has clearly been a lot of hard work in putting together this upcoming publish. Let's hope it moves along smoothly
to live.
I realize that this isn't a "cure-all" for the DE profession, but it is a wonderful continuation of improvments. The one thing
that heartens me the most JustG is your comment about the Space Expansion and the future of DE with regard to that. It's a good day
to be a dedicated Droid Engineer.
My best to everyone,

wohoo, 3PO units for our ships Im guessing. I was hoping theyd have that involved and cant wait to see your new droids to maybe get a little more feel in the game.

Ooh, excellent, a DE post where both the Correspondent and Devs look, and it's only one page long.
TK, I have just one suggestion. I dont know how the barker droids will work, but I can currently clear myself of spam by adding the person to my /ignore list. I wont be able to do that with a droid. I would ask that the barking be done on a separate Chat channel, specifically for that purpose. That way, should I wish to see what people are spamming, I can simply open the chat window and take a look, but while I'm busy buffing people in front of the starportin Coronet, I will actually be able to talk to my customers.
Please? Pretty please?

Boy I sure hope you put an autopilot function on the R series droids while they are mounted in space craft for those of us playing this game that have the eye-hand coordination of a blind bat. Auto-gunner would help out too for the same reason.
