No I not a DE but I always enjoyed the idea of the profesion and always follow your boards. I have always felt sorry for you all and how broken the class was.

Been following all the posts about the new combat droids for long time now . Seems like you want a large open market for combat droids and also be able to use them in combat. Well to be honest this aint going to happen. If you convince them to put the certs back under DE you going to lose a selling market because people that want to fight with them are going to also be able to make their own.

I also doubt they going to allow some complicated scheme to allow the DE and the new DH profession to both be able to use the combat droids.

My suggestion is pretty basic. Allow them to institute the new DH profession but lobby hard to get the parts for robots that are under the master artisian to be moved to novice DE.

Assuming they going to kind of build the new DH sort of like the CH tree i will assume its going to take 2 basic trees to beecome a novice DH so lobby hard for those 2 trees to be engineering and probably surveying take your pick on this but keeping them both under artisian helps those DEs that want to use droids in combat an easier time.

I think by doing those2 things you can still have a fair market selling combat droids and for those DEs that want to be able to use them in combatlimited skill points spent to obtain the new DH tree.

Please dont flame its just a suggestion.

Thanks much for 5 starring me . I Know its not the best solution but its not bad and keeps the Devs on track to doing something soon instead of getting the issue confused again and tieing up fixes for more months.

True.

IF DE Artisan parts were moved into Novice DE, then those that want to use combat droids could drop Master Artisan and realocate the SP into DH.

At least that would be ONE problem solved.

But there are still alot of people that won't spend the extra SP/XP if the requirements are too high.

However if the SP/XP requirements weren't that high, because the cost to build/maintain droids is higher than creatures, or that combat droids will never have high CL, then there WOULD be a way to balance droids and let more people use them.

"When Sony and Lucas set out, we said, How can we do this and not make another EQ? We didn't want it to be all about Luke, or combat, or lock our players into a class. So we created a system that would allow players to switch professions during the game, and there would be a lot of gameplay around making that change. If you want to go from architect to scout we've created a system to make that happen."
