I have stated some of my views in other forums but have decided to try my luck here!
I am almost a Master DE and have yet to see any real improvements done to our profession! I have seen countless addins to other professions and factions but not the one that Star Wars brought to us! DROIDS!! Star Wars is all about droids! From the broken Chassies on the ground in Mos Eisley to the Droid Battles in Episodes 1 and 2! Why is SWG about nothing but Creatures and Combat Class professions!!?? When the game first came on line...probots were the most feared player pet. Now, they are the weakest (not encluding the lil ball that flotes then dies!! lol)! You bring in the abillity for all players to have a creature pet, which i do like the idea...but even when i was a Bio-Engineer...the Bearded Jax pets that i made as a novice BE were stronger than the probots! I currently have a Kulmurra that i made befor giving up the profession to continue with droid and it has 2500 HAM and 140-150 Damage. This is a level 14 pet! I am happy with it but it caused the DE's to loose even more business! I would love to see alot of improvements and new droids to the DE Profession but we need to get things equile and working befor any new things are added. I think that most of us can say that we are very pleased with the things that ARE working (for the most part), except for the probots and DZ70 Droids. If we are to have any buisness from these models, they need to be matched with the non-ch pets. My proposed solution is to have the DZ70's have about 800 HAM and 50-60 Damage, Advanced DZ70's to have 1100 HAM and 75-85 Damage! With these two droids, new players would be able to purchase them to help with beginer missions and to actually create a market for them! I have YET to ever sell one and i don't plan to either! Not with the stats they have now! The Probots need to be brought back to life with about 2100 HAM and 115-130 Damage with the Advanced Probot haveing 2500 HAM and 155-175 Damage. This is not quite what they were befor the nerf but very equile to the non-ch pets created by bio-engineers! The only other thing we need would be for the Droid Repair Kits to work. As long as the modules that do work, keep on working and your change the attack droids to be similar to what I have suggested...I think this will make 9 out of 10 DE's happy untill you are able to repair all the other stuff! Droids with Level 4 Armor, Medical, Storage and Data as well as the crafting stations are very effective but we really need the others to work too!! Please help those of us who have suffered the losses of this profession to make a comback!! Droids are a very emportant part of Star Wars and SWG...Help us make that possable!!

Those are some decent stats.. I don't know much about where the cutoff for non-CH stuff lies, but if this would be competitive then I say "do it".
My real issue with the "probot thing" (I haven't said anything thus far, but here goes).. I get the impression it was intended to be a permanent nerf, since the battle droids were coming "soon". However, since we've not heard a word since... gad.. long ago, this nerf has become more and more disgusting.To me,the probot nerfshould have beena lot lessdramaticsince combat droids have become something short of reality (more like a demented dream)... complete with a side of inviso-fries and a lack of ETA.
But I'm tired and random... so maybe if I click my heels 3 times we'll have droideka tonight.. NOT!!!

The BE pets are very similar in the stats! I tried to make them close so that players would have a choice to which battle type droid they wanted/ could afford. i have decided to return to BE to suppliment my income. It's a great profession but can be extreemly time consuming collecting DNA.

All I see is a huge blob of white text, I don't suppose we can get some Cliff Notes with paragraphs can we?
