Droid Engineer Archive
Thread: droid engineer in 3 days? possible?
those in game scripts are nice! double click on the resoursces, deal with critical failures, that is it.
I have estimated I can master DE from novice in 13 hours if I am set up for it.
So tonight is day three, master easy, make a few thingss, and go holo hunting again (yes i am a holo DE).
I thought crafting would take forever until I started playing around with macro's. I dont understand why people groaned when I told them I had DE.
Of course I am not really a DE, dont know how to do a thing but make mouse droids and frames on practice mode. *shrug*
anyone else think this holo grind is stupid?
Just a prediction. This kind of post will get you flamedand one-starredhere. Holo DE and Creature Handler. Quite a winning combination to make DE friends. 
I think that the point of his post is that the whole holo system is really poorly done - this is probably why the flames haven't been launched... that and the fact that he has admitted that he doesn't know anything about droids except how to make frames and MSE's.
Ah, well, at least one more person will understand when they ask a master DE to make them a mouse droid that the DE will go into violent convulsions...
...some of us have just given up on the whole "I'm a holo and my only purpose in life is to grind through this profession" rant...
Remember......
It takes about 8 different things to make Jedi....
There are only 5 holo's, and one is usually silent....
That leaves at least 3 things to figure out on your own....
Good luck, Padawan hopeful....
If you think it's so stupid, why do it? FWIW, banging your head against the wall is also helpful in getting the FSCS.

why you ask? because I would like a fs slot, and it is the shortest route to opening it. Giving more content to some players than others without additional cost is ascenine... I understand why, but do not agree with it.
and yes I know i will be one starred to death, already have.
my point is two fold,
1) mastering crafting only classes is far to easy
2) holo method is broken
and on a follow up point, if I could make droids and use them as effectively as pets (should be MORE effective imho) then I would not have any creature handling at all. I love the CONCEPT of combat droids, but there is nothing out there to compair to my toxic merric battle lord, or my graul maulers.
If the game wants to be more star warsy, then beef up droids, make droid engineer ONLY dtroids (just like CH). I have been the tank in every mmorpg i have played (except UO) and I like it... in swg that IS ch... my pets are the tanks, but I am still master of agro. Gimme droids and I am all over it. I can master the class in a day if I plan right, so i will join the ranks on a more permanent level quickly when this happens.

8 things is a theory with no proof (if I am wrong please link me)
you only need 4 holo's, the 5th WILL be silent, (been shown on new characters more than once)
thanks for the luck wish
I am just getting through the things I can define, then I will pick up skills I want again (well after mastering everything easy for me) and just play the game. I enjoyed the game before holo's, right now I am following the "known path" and then when I dont know anymore I will just keep doing the things I like to do
... I do plan on tinkering with DE for a bit, I have a few requests I will try to fill and of course I need some chassis for my "shrine to the holocron" with my vibro axe, pistols, and pets in it... lol.I was just posting to say how silly it all is, and how easy it is IF you have the resources (or money) vs the guys that have to take months to do it because they have less. *shrug*
