Thread: Why so many droids for such basic tasks :(

I got the game a few weeks ago and I finally started getting up there in the DE tree, I can make treadwells, MSE's, R5's, r4's, and such, but they dont seem to be unique in any way


Furthermore, no one seems to want to buy my droids because they are so useless, I usually can only sell them to my fellow roleplayers, and even most of them wont pay much


I read that protocol droids dont translate languages, this is a big let down to me because I avoided learning all the languages so I could use the protocol droid..but now that idea is down the drain


I think the blasto mech looks pretty cool but I dont know when they will put that in


Will we ever get Droidekas or droids from episode 1 and things like that, or are we stuck with so many droids that really only do 3 basic tasks


I read posts here and see there are plans for combat modules, but the only screenshots I can find are droids with the little chainsaw coming out (the r5) and the zapper stick like r2-d2 had. This is really cool but there should be more!


Take the binary lifter droid for instance, sure it has big carrying capacity, but you can just buy a tiny backpacks to hold your things so theres no use. It doesn't make sense for someone to carry 450,000 units of steel around in their backpack, they should need a load lifter


And the power droid..I cant figure out what this little walking trashcan is good for except maybe roleplaying a Jawa..maybe they should make it neccesary to power vehicles maybe??


Hopefully with the space expansion more uses for the r2 units will come out, I am hopefull.


For now I will continue working towards master, as I like the droids purely for the look and roleplay purposes, I just wish my droids where more marketable, and did more things
