Well since im new and cant really find anything in the stickies about this debate that people are talking about, or any threads on this debate. I was woundering what it was about.

As far as I can tell its about ch and DE with new droids. And something about certs.

With out flaming eachother. What are the opposing viewpoints on this?

The current plan that we know about:

Publish 7 (My ETA = 5 weeks): New combat modules (note: this doesn't mean new droid types/chassis)

Publish 8 (My ETA = 8-10 weeks): New utility droids and/or utility modules (non-combat)

The certs thing was in relation to how to implement newer/better combat droids into the game. The Devs had focused on a whole new profession for this but that was pretty well shot down (at least, we hope it was...).

That's a brief summary.

Combat modules? That dosnt mean anything to me. Since there arnt any in the game (as far as i know, but im still knew to this proffession) that could mean they get a peice of paper and a straw to shoot spitballs.

Well the idea that the devs have is to place a combat module in a socket much like you would a medical module, data storage module, item storage module, etc. The Combat Module, if I understand it correctly,will give any droid it is installed in combat capabilities. These new modules are set to be introduced in the next publish which is likely to be ready next month somethime.

I'm guessing it will be along the lines of R2 and his soldering iron thing. Perhaps melee combat is an option (MMOs like bashing combat, i guess its easier than ranged to implement). It would be nice to see the LE Repair bust a little TK on a durni or something.

I'll take whatever we can get, but my philosophy on games is a wee bit different than some of the folks around here. STs, Rancors and Droids oh my.

Hopefully we'll see some ideas from them and see if anything from here has made it onto the drawing board.

Welcome aboard!
