Thread: vechiles going to de or not?
why would vehicles go under DE?
why wouldnt it be a new profession labeled, Mechanic?
I know DE's are hurting right now in regards to sellable crafts but adding a totally different component to it like vehicles isnt going to do anything to it other than drown or make the DROIDS a background feature for the profession. Surely those of you DE's out there dont want that?
A real important question is will vehicles be desroyable, and if so will they be permadeath 1 death only
I agree with skexii, no matter how much I'd like it to be under the DE's wing, vehicles should be craftedby an entirely different advanced profession (I was thinking Mechanic too). Think about it, not only do we have planetary craft comingin future there's also the space expansion to consider, so there'splenty of content there for a whole new profession. Of course, if the DE is sorted out correctly, then droidsshould become indispensable to Mechanics anyway.
No, I hope we dont get them .. because then the DEVS will say "Well everyone can get a Speeder, so we have to nerf the speed" .. and then like they will increase the speed on CL15 CH creature mounts by 5 times what a vehicle speed will be ..
yeah I am bitter today 
Personally , I have little hope for the droid Eng. profession. with exception of combat droids, I don't really see any real expention to droids in SWG. it's to late to correct the pet vs. droid problem and the only solution would take too long.
I would be happy if they were to revamp us entirely: DE becomes Advanced Eng. have a droid line, a vehicle line, a add-on line, and the cusomization and experimentation line.
thus when star ship comes out the Elite-Elite profession of star-ship 'assembler' would fit well on top on the advanced eng. profession
as for making a whole new profetion would just leave us to wither and fade away as we all know how importaint droids are to the devs of SWG.
I love the Advanced Engineering Idea!
It would really save me some skill points too!
just an idea that just makes sence, I mean, obviously the attention we need in our eyes, does not make it into the reality of the game, and by dumping the sepcialized profesion of DE into a more viable profession would relieve the issues for both our community and the developers.
no need for; an extra new profesion, special attention for a small neglected community, creating a large amount of droids that take time for art and funtional codeing, ect. ect.
and the droid community would be; no longer a cummunity neglected by being small and insignifican to the game, would have useful wares to sell beside the one sale droid, have more things to talk about than "what is a binary load lifter for" ect. ect.
there are so many positive possibilitys if you think about it.
it's just common sence problem solving.
VEHICLES ARE NOT DROIDS.
