Can anyone explain why droid certification would be so hard to construct. Heres the Devs concerns in implementing Combat Droids
1. Dont want to give away unearned combat ability.
2.Dont want over-powered uber profession combos.
3. Dont want to unbalance combat.
Why not give a high-end droid cert to every Master of a elite/hyprid combat profession. Mastery of two elite combat professions would not give a second Droid Handling bonus. Even novice of a elite combat profession could give mid-level droid cert and again no bonus stacking.
Perhaps, to giveMDEs some much needed love, giveus high-end Combat certification. Weve stood against this but if every master of a Elite combat profession could use combat droidsit wouldundermine most of the arguments against it.
If you have a reason this would not work please post it.

I have a strange question, do the various moduals need certain levels to be able to use them, I know the barker one needs advertising 4, does any of the other need a certain level or are they all novice in the various professions?

The self destruct is only usable by Smugglers/BH's
The Entertainer modules are only usable by Dancers/Musicians
Dont know if you have to be a scout to use the harvest module though (hope not, I have plans....)
Dont think the rest are restricted though

yep you need novice scout for creature harvesting as well as trap projectile thingies.
What about combat modules btw? I once tried to give a droid to a newbie friend and he got the message of not being able to control it. How does that work?

I havent encountered any restrictions on the use of the combat module (just gives the droid the attack command and attack stats doesnt it?)

Sounds like the standard message you'd get if trying to call a droid while you already had a pet out. "you have no chance of controlling this creature" or something like that.
