LastI checked it was a "yes" but then agin that was for the patch that we were gettin' 2 weeks ago. I can't seem to find it it any of the patch notes for this update. If not I'm dumpin DE this week. I sell maybe 5 droids a week and only to buddies. Its jus' a waste of skill pts for me now. I jus' wanna play a fun profession and DE doesnt look like they are givingit much thought.
Also whats the werd on the droid commander prof, it kinda looks like another name for droid handler.

Combat modules are in publish 7, we are waiting on publsh 6. The combat modules will only take a droid up to creature level 10 so that anyone can have them.

YOU WONT BE ABLE TO CRAFT THEM ANYWAY!
1) The Droid Commander profession needs to distinguish itself functionally from the Creature Handler profession similiar to how Vehicles and Mounts were created with distinct differences, advantages and disadvantages.
2) The proposal for CL10 combat droids made available for everyone are not going to be used anymore than CL10 pets since they don't last very long in combat, thus, the demand for Droid Engineers to craft these droids are going to be minimal and not translate to the "combat droids everyone wants" goal we are shooting for.
3) Droid Engineers are looking for more utility droids (new droids and modules or fixes to existing droids and modules) that can be used by other non-combat professions and not just the addition of new combat oriented droids that only combat-oriented players are interested in.
4) The demand for high level combat droids used by the new proposed Droid Commander profession will be directly proportional to how many players choose to take up this profession. The fear, again, is that there will not be enough players to warrant a large, consistent demand for high level combat droids.
5) The addition of combat droids does not fit the continuity of SWG since the timeframe in which SWG is playing in is during a time when the Empire has called for a ban on all combat droids and made them illegal.

I may end up taking CH up as well. After all, I do have a pre-patch Blurrg sitting in my house guarding my stairs. From what I understand they make an awesome pet.
