Just a suggestion I thought I would give you guys...

I am not a Droid Engeneer but I do have an ATST.

As everyone knows, ATSTs cant heal mind wounds. Also, as everyone knows, Droid Engeneers are far from the most useful class in SWG currently (no offence intended guys but its the sad truth). Why not let DEs repair ATSTs - a simple idea that will help both parties greately?

I do see that this will give Imperial DEs a certain advantage over rebel ones, but I am sure there can be something very similar done for the Rebel DEs. Or DEs can be given ability to both heal and damage ATST mind and then the side you are on will determine which one you use.

Imagine how much money DEs will be able to make doing this too. This could put them into economy.

Just an idea I had.... As I said I am not DE but if you guys like it and can get the devs to hear it the power to you...

Best of luck.

For that matter, they should be able to heal the all other stats as well of course.

Lol, lets make ATST's even more overpowered. I would like DE fixed, but this is not a way to do it. What about the rebel DEs?

If you think about it all faction pets are fairly worthless because they're permadeath.

Let's say I toss 2100 faction and get a dark trooper. Now he's only really useful in PVP since in PVE he drains far too much experience and takes for friggin ever to heal up. There is no way I could kill enough rebels before he died to ever make up 2100 faction. AT-STs are a bigger waste in my mind.

I dont think this should make ATSTs more powerful at all if done correctly - less powerful maybe.

For example:

Let DEs heal ATST's mind WOUNDS onlyand outside of combat only... say make it a slow process. Also, let DEs damage ATST's during combat in some relatively severe ways. Like make all their attack do X times normal damage to mechanical targets since they know how to damege them best.

On one hand, this will make ATSTs not die from "age" (old mind wounds piling up). On the other, it will give rebels a more efficient weapon to take ATSTs down during combat. Which should balance out since whilenone of ATST's will die from "age" much more will fall during combat. Besides, this will make both sides happy. Imperials will get their long wanted mind healing for ATSTs. Rebels will get their long wanted way to take ATSTs down easier. And of course this will make DEs overall more happy because they become that much more important for both sides!

Of couse all these suggestions are just esamples, but if something of roughly the same manner was to be implemented, to me it sounds as a win-win-win solution for both factions and for DE profession.

I just wanted to see what you DEs (both rebel and imperial) would think of such an idea.

Think you mean a DH dont you we DE cant be expected to know how to instruct a droid to do such a thing as heal atst mind wounds.Sorry just kidding idea has merit but not sure it would fly to well with ppl who want that atst dead as a pet in pvp.On the other hand if it did go through id expect alot of ticked off rebels tageting you so as you couldnt repair it .Now that would be fun

Lets make at-st's how they should be...WITH ONE HEALTH METER just like a turret or a lair. They are a machine for pete's sake..not a creature

W T F thats the stupidest idea. ATST are not droids. duh

let them come
