Droid Engineer Archive

When i think of the star wars universe, these things come to mind:

lightsabres, laser beams, spaceships, alien races, creatures, and DROIDS.

after the nerf and patch creature pets have a lifespan (albeit toolong IMO and I am a CH...but that's for a different discussion) which is needed since creatures have an infinite supply due to spawn rates.

after the changes, droids have reduced HAM, bugged AR ratings, and experience permadeath. As a result may be an endangered speices due to a better alternatives in creatures, dwindling demand and DE exiting the profession.

In the spirit of balancing, should CH's and DE's be counterparts? If so here are some suggestions to level the playing field:

1.

(Continued)...whoops hit enter by accident.

1. Limit creatures with armor ratings and energy dmg effectiveness...make creatures ideally effectiveagainst other animals and hunting missions.

2. Maintain HAM on droids as long as attack droids have effectiveness versus energy dmg and reinstate AR. this makes Attack droids more effective in faction missions and player faction battles.

3. Increase decay rate for Creature Pets (due to infinite supply and no cost for CH to tame new animals) with current model of vitality kept

4. Take permadeath off and have similar decay rates for droids as in creatures. Damage done to HAM can be replaced by repair kits that are only created by DE.

I think this should level the playing field and allow pets whether its creature or machine to specialize in their purpose and to allow both professions an opportunity to flourish.
