Droid Engineer Archive

Couple of things that are bugging me about our handicapped profession:

1) Why can't we Droid Engineers have more droids in our datapad than the average Joe on the street, like Creature Handlers can with pets? The main reason they get more stored pets is to allow them to have a couple available to sell, as at no time can they call out as many as they have stored. If MCH's can still have 16 stored pets, then I think it's only right that MDE's should be able to have 16 stored droids, allowing us to not only have one of each kind for display, but a few extra on hand to sell, live and tamed and ready to name.

2) Why can't we Droid Engineers have out a pet (even an aminal mount) and a droid at the same time? My alternate character, who is only keeping Novice CH to be able to have level 12 kaadu at 1300 HAM instead of the nerfed baby chicken the rest of us get with 800 HAM, can ride his kaadu and call out a storage droid or even combat probot any time he wants! Fair? I think not.

3) Why can't we Droid Engineers "earn" the right to call out more droids at once, like Creature Handlers do? They keep comparing us to CH's, so letthem start treating us likeCH's if only in this one small way (and the two ways above, while they're at it! :-> )

4) Why doesn't Droid Customization work? A Novice DE can use the Droid Customization Tool as good as the MDE, who earns no extra colors, and has no better chance of having the colorizing "stick" any longer than the Novice.

5) Why aren't the schematics for manufactured items given a completely different section with their own limit of 100, instead of being thrown in with Waypoints? I've had to cut back my waypoints down to almost Home, my harvesters, factories, and the Cantina (can't leave that one out! hehe) almost, just to hold the schematics for things I'd like to pop in the factory. We've already seen that they can create a new subsection under Datapad, with the addition of the POI section, so why not, hmmm?

6) Where DO they come up with the statistics on some of these minerals/chemicals/gases etc that we harvest? I mean, really, a steel (Ditifaate) with conductivity of Six (6)? It must be 94% DIRT! Yet it still has an OQ of 996? huh? How can a metal have an Overall Quality of 996 when none of the other stats are above 650? Is it a real pretty pink, or what?

-- just a few things that keep that dull ache in the back of my skull from going away.

-- /whine off, couldn't find any bread or cheese (milk is still too rare) to go with it anyway.
