Weaponsmiths and Armorsmiths can enhance their products by using looted components during the craft.
We had a great patch and the devs won't work on droids for a while. But let me dream ! As the devs say, they want to make the professions as 'cool' as possible. I'm convinced components looted or given by some quests can be realy cool for our profession. For this they need to be rare enough and have interesting bonus.
Here is a list of ideas with the bonus they could give :
- (ADV) Droid Motive System : + 10-20% speed
- (ADV) Droid Brain : + 5-10% combat damage
- Manipulator Arm / Package Set : + 5-10% capabilities for utility modules
- ADV Droid Frame Unit : + 10-20% HAM
- Droid Sensor Package : - 10-50% Battery Consumption
Andalso some modules with better stats :
- Item Storage : 11-20
- Data Storage : 160-200
- Medical Capability : 111-120%
- Detonation : 11-20 pts
- Combat Modules : 110-150
- Stimpack Dispensor : ??
- Creature Harvesting : ??
-Scout Trap Projectile??
- Area Droid Auto Repare : ??
And :
- Rare Entertainer Effect Modules
I know some of these bonus would be hard to inculde in the code. Some other would break the rules of stackable modules limits. The BLL and the R3which requireidentical factory made components(Manipulator Arms, Motive Systems or Brains) could not get some of the bonus. Or could get more !
I love the idea of clients bringing 1 or 2 modules to the DE they trust and ask for the best he can make with them. This would also create some rare and expensive 'uber' droids.
Hope you like this idea

Ive been thinking this as well man, that would be a great bonus for DE's if they did this. Too bad they dont care, they did one good publish for us, we wont get anything else for a long while

Never in the field of Droid Engineering has such a woeful idea ever been put.
It's bad enough that the SEAs are having to be bought from the combat brigade..at rip off prices..so now you propose that some Uber-Droid can be produced cos a crate of 6 special combat modules was looted off a corvette or something?
Bah..skill, and resources..thats enough now to make a droid as designed and balanced..and they are better than you think now.
I hope there is NEVER a lootable droid component..its not and never was fair to anyone.
Flame me..I care not one tiny bit.
