You know I've alwaysenvisionned my ranger as an space-era explorer rather than someone harvesting like a trapper would.
As such, I see him using droids a lot but possibly not much for harvesting resources.

So how do we feel about getting our incresed harvesting from a droid? I don't like the idea (as trapping and harvesting droids seem to be mutually exclusive) but I am sure I will use it.

I think its Horse**edit**!

I feel like a GM auto worker in Flint Michigan:
I worked really hard to master the Ranger profession (twice!) and my only real use is in the service industry. I provide resources to the crafting professions. We have striked, petitioned, debated the state of Rangering for several months now and we have tried to get our innated abilities boosted, fixed and improved. Yet now, we have to submit to an automaton doing our job, doing it better than we can, and for less money.
While we are not losing skills, we are being faced with the unattractive future of having our ONE JOB being replaced with technology. The fact remains that a combat stacked profession with novice scout + droid will still outperform the Rangers.
While I have no problem with droids, I have many myself for various purposes... I dont like being augmented or replaced by a machine. The solution should be to fix the rangers.... and not add droids that the DE community really didnt ask for in the first place.
Ah well.... whats the SWG equivalent to welfare? I may be out of a job soon.

I think I will buy one of these droids with 5 harvesting mods and one combat mod. Then I shall call him Master Ranger. I figure it will be as effective as I am right?
No. No combat droid even fully stacked with combat droids will be able to kill as good as a player who is master of a combat profession.

But it should be fine for stuff like durnis and paralopes which is the only place we really get any advantage right now.
