Well I'm not entirely sure if anybody be interested in seeing this, but I know I have thought and wanted this for sometime. I was hoping that possibly as a quest item much like the RIS armor or Mandalorian armor that either you need to craft it in a certain place, but I was hoping that the addition of a the Assassin Droid Chassis, the one from KOTR. Now I'm not entirely sure if this is the right place to post this if not then please direct me to the right area.

Nope, this would indeed be the correct place to talk about anything droid related 
As for your request, I haven't played too much KoToR (shame, because it seems like a REALLY fun game) so I'm not exactly sure what droid you're talking about... but it sounds like a combat droid, eh?
If so, then here in the Droid Engineering community, we have had countless discussions about combat droids for an extended period of time (I use "extended" lightly, lol), and it seems like should more combat droids ever be implemented, we are gonna have to do it by way of some type of Creature Handler - like profession dedicated to the combat droids. I have heard this droid is our discussions before, so should we get the new profession for combat droids, this would likely be one of the droids put in.
Now it's just, what is the likelihood of getting this "Droid Handler" profession, or some other method of getting combat droids?

It is more like what is the chances of getting ANY new droids?

There are assasin droids in the Droid Engineer cave on Lok, and there are also some Bounty Hunter trainers with the Assasin Droid model.

Yes, thanks Atan, sorry for not specifying which droid i was talking about. I would like to see the HK Series as a possible droid to be built. I understand that KOTOR is 5000 years ago, and that also in the storyline of the HK series most of them were destroyed, thats why I guessthey could bring it in as a rare schematic.
Though the idea of a Droid Handler profession is nice too. Though that would mean to possibly own it I would need to do a whole new ladder, I was just thinking more along the lines of adding new droid schematics.

the only way i'd be in favor of a 'droid handler' profession is if they A) Only had combat droid models and B) eitherhad the ability to deploymodels of similar power that we have nowin medium sized formations (like a 4 or 7 man squad) OR 1-2 droideka/SBD style droids to use in PvE attacks. I mean, what other reason would there be for it? combat droids are nice and all...but we've seen the limits that SOE is willing to put in for them and they're not overpowering...or anywhere near the abilities of something like droidekas or the SBDs in Republic commando. So if we're gonna ever have a chance of having combat droids with real teeth that'd be the only way to do it.

It'd not that simple. If you find any of the previous discussions on this issue, you'll learn that the chassis we have are the limit of what Devs will allow players to have for "free" as in, our current combat models are the rough equivalent of a nonCH pet. You can't just add new schemas that would be more powerful because it "would be nice"
You've dug up a long standing DE issue, and it would probably be good for you to do some looking at past discussions on it to gain a fuller understanding of the situation.

Hiya...I actually had gathered some info on droids that i think need added to the game...but in my lack of forum experience I posted it in the wrong place and it wasn't taken seriously. Some of my the droids I thought we needed are larger scale battle droids (ep II)
I know devs are reluctant to add stuff from that era of the game..but really they would still be around. Some of these would only fit for a droid handler type profession...but have to be made my DE's.
Oh..and some ofthe droids listed refer to specific droids..of course I mean that model..not that specific droid

I think the next new droid chassis should be:
- Pit droids (repair / SW / whatever)
- Trade Fed.
- Battle Droid ("Roger, Roger")
- Super Battle Droid
- Droideka
- IG series (i.e. IG-88)
- Some original droid designs approved via LA(?)
I think it would be more cool to create some kind of system whereby DEs themselves can design and build their own models. This is what I'd thought DEs would be doing when I'd first seen DE as a profession.
Give us the pieces and tools to design our own and we could have 100s of droid models in the galaxy.
