I just had an idea, I'm sorry if this has already been brought up. But wouldn't it be cool, if the BLL had special abilities when the structure maintence module is put in it that you don't get will other droids? I can see any of the droids placing credits or power into the structure, and finding out any information on it (i.e. is it running, ability to switch resources, etc.) But, I can see a R series or any other droid picking up the materials from said structures. I think it would be cool if the BLL is the only droid that has the ability to pick up the resources from structures. That would be really cool, because the poor BLL has absolutely no use in the game, and this one ability would then make the BLL a priceless aquisition. It also is what I think the point of a BLL is, to lift things and move them about, (obviously).

I don't know what do you think?

A good idea, that was brought up in the thread about the Maintenance Modules while they were in Test Center. Actually my post was to have 3 "flavors" of Structure Maintenance Modules, based on which chassis they were installed in.

BLL- for Resource Pickup

Power Droid- Energy Maintenence

Any other droid- Money Payments

how about this, And yes I know it makes us even MORE dependanct on another Profession but. An arcitech builds a one time use crate that can hold the contencs of a one lot house 75 iteams, two of these would be needed for a 2 lot house (most comin) as all meds and all but one small are 2 lot houses. what you do is "make the Crate" it apears in your house. you then load the craft(it still counts against your House Iteam count) then have the Load lifter "lift the Load". and carry it to your new house there will have to be a limit on how long the Droid can "hold" the crate but it will make moving your house to another planet or Masive vendor loads possable.

Some very good ideas coming from this thread. Especially like the idea of having the BLL PICK UP the resources as well as add power and maint to your structures. This would make this droid a VERY nice thing to have.

About the only problem I see with this approach is that it automates a large part of the harverester game. Its nifty, and it does make an awful lot of sense with droids carting resources crates around and such.

Perhaps the droids should somehow be vulnurable, so that it would only really be something that you used on safe planets, so that it doesn't automatically get the resources from that harverester on Dathomir with no risk to you or the droid itself.
