So moving my medium house from one spot to a new player city is a major pain, I'm on my 6th trip already. I think it would be cool if there were large storage containers we could buy that you could drop in a house and pack everything into. The trick would be that these containers could only be lifted and moved by Binary load lifters when anything was inside them. You could then have the droid follow you to the new location to unpack.


While the Load Lifter carries a container it cannot be placed into a data pad so during the move he will be exposed and need to be protected. I think this would be a great use for these droids and would add to the Star Wars feel of the game.

This would be good. I'd also like a "harvest" command where your BLL goes and picks up the loads from any of your harvesters that are in the area.

I think it would be great if you could use the BLL to move a factory, house or Harvester without needing to redeed it! Target the structure, and issue command to Pick up structure. Then when you find your new location, command to "place structure". It would simplify moving a large structure or harvester!


I was also thinking that it would be logical for the item Modules to take into account the "size" of the droid. A large BLL should be able to hold several hundred items, while the MSE bot only a couple. I don't really understand the nerfing of item storage to only 10 per droid anyway. But if they really want "Immersion" then there should be a variablity based on droid size too.

Hey I like both of those ideas. Sending BLL to pick up a remote harvest is great, maybe need a protocol droid to go along to get the BLL and harvester to speak to each other. Better add a few combat droids as escort. As for BLL movinga buildingthats cool also.Maybe make it require 1 per lot that the structure requires and have the structure packed into containers, a bunch of BLLs carrying a large factory intact would look a bit strange. Droid caravans all the way!
